Fall is exciting for so many reasons, from the start of football to the beauty of autumn leaves. One thing I personally love about fall is the return of my favorite TV shows… mainly Scandal. However, I’ve also fallen in love with a few new shows this season that I think everyone should be DVR-ing. Read on to find out what you should watch and what you should skip!
The Flash
Whether you like superheros or not, this is a must-see show for the fall. It follows Barry Allen AKA “The Flash,” who just happens to be super attractive, as he figures out his newfound powers as a superhero. It’s filled with romance, humor, and suspense- a thrilling combination that all will enjoy. If you watch TV with your boyfriend, he’ll be thrilled at this new addition to your weekly repertoire. It’s also set in the same world as the show Arrow, which features an INCREDIBLY hot lead actor, so expect guest appearances!
How to Get Away with Murder
This show is pretty intense, but it’s a great follow-up to Scandal on Thursday nights. It’s created by the ever-brilliant Shonda Rhimes and features a bad-a$$ female law professor (played by Viola Davis), as well as five kids from her class that she has chosen to work at her law firm. It’s kind of dark and super suspenseful, but if you like Scandal, you’ll probably like this show as well. Plus, if you plan on going to law school, it’s kind of required viewing.
Red Band Society
This is easily one of the best new shows of the season, and I can already tell it’s going to be around for a while. It follows a group of teenagers through their separate experiences in a Los Angeles hospital, as well as their relationships with each other. It can get kind of sad, but it’s actually really uplifting most of the time! I’m about as emotional as they come, and this show has only made me tear up once, so at the very least, it won’t be like a weekly installment of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s a little guilty of glamorizing hospitals, but it’s definitely a nice change of pace from the typical medical show.
Go ahead and skip… Gotham
I got WAY too excited about this show and was sorely let down after the premiere. Ben McKenzie is as hot as ever, but this show is way too dark (and scary!) for weekly viewing. It’s a cool idea to do a Batman prequel, but if you don’t want to feel depressed/scared every week, skip this show and watch re-runs of The OC instead. God bless Ryan Atwood.
