Australian and New Zealand TV

It’s “What have you been watching?”, my chance to tell you each week what movies and TV I’ve been watching recently and your chance to recommend anything you’ve been watching. TMINE recommends has all the reviews of all the TV shows TMINE has ever recommended, but for a complete list of TMINE’s reviews of (good, bad and insipid) TV shows and movies, there’s the definitive TV Reviews A-Z and Film Reviews A-Z. 

It’s that time again. No, I’m not talking about WHYBW. For starters, it’s Wednesday. Oh dear.

Hopefully, we’ll be back to the regular Tuesday slot for WHYBW next week, since Sunday and Monday’s schedules seem to be dying down. But I was actually referring to my usual October cull of the schedules, to weed out shows that for me are no-hopers, which should help, too.

For just a little sense of excitement, I won’t reveal which ones those are until after the jump, but at least two regulars are for the chop, in fact – ooh! On top of that, a lot of the new shows didn’t make it passed their second episodes, either.

Elsewhere, I’ve reviewed the first episodes of Kevin (Probably) Saves The World (US: ABC) and The Gifted (US: Fox; UK: Fox UK). I’ve also passed third-episode verdicts on Absentia (AXN), The Brave (US: NBC) and Me, Myself and I (US: CBS).

No, I didn’t get round to Alias Grace (Canada: CBS; UK: Netflix). Sorry. That’s three episodes in. Some day, though. Some day. However, Ghost Wars (US: Syfy; UK: Netflix) and Valor (US: The CW) will be getting their turn tomorrow for sure.

I did also promise a review of Ten Days in the Valley (US: ABC), Kyra Sedgwick’s new show in which she plays a TV producer whose daughter goes missing. However, so terrible, so boring, so unbearably by the numbers was it that I didn’t even get as far as her daughter going missing. Fortunately, the ratings are so low I doubt ABC will air the entire series, so not a huge omission on my part, I feel.

So follow me after the jump where I’ll be discussing the latest episodes of Get Krack!n, Ghosted, The Gifted, Great News, Halt and Catch Fire, Kevin (Probably) Saves The World, Lethal Weapon, Lucifer, Marvel’s Inhumans, The Mayor, Professor T, SEAL Team, Star Trek: Discovery and Will & Grace, as well as the season finale of The Last Ship and the returns of The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Which do you reckon will be getting the boot?
