What have you been watching? Including FBI, New Amsterdam and The First

It’s “What have you been watching?”, your chance to recommend to fellow TMINE readers anything you’ve been watching this week

The US fall season started in earnest this week – no more previews, just plain old new episodes of new series in their regular time slots. Since the last WHYBW, we’ve had – and TMINE has reviewed – I Feel Bad (US: NBC), Magnum P.I. (US: CBS) and Manifest (US: NBC). Joining them are New Amsterdam (US: NBC) and FBI (US: CBS), which I’ll review after the jump.

The Internet streamers have been keeping up, too – as has TMINE – with the likes of season two of Ozark (Netflix) and after the jump, The First (US: Hulu; UK: Channel 4). Netflix also gave us Maniac over the weekend, but I’ve not had a chance to watch that, so here’s a trailer in lieu:

Meanwhile, the plucky Australians have decided to give us their own version of Footballers’ Wives (Aussie rules, of course) in the shape of Playing for Keeps (Australia: Ten).

Needless to say, I won’t be bothering with that. Maybe you will.

I’ll be trying to keep up with the rest of the new schedule (I hope) so expect all manner of new US TV shows to be reviewed by the next WHYBW, although my work schedule looks a bit crazy for the next week, TBH, so I can’t promise nowt, I’m afraid.

After the jump, on top of those new shows, I’ll be casting my eye over the latest episodes of the regulars: Forever, The Last Ship and You. See you in a tick.

What have you been watching? Including Forever

It’s “What have you been watching?”, your chance to recommend to fellow TMINE readers anything you’ve been watching this week

As the fall season hasn’t quite started in the US, it’s been relatively easy to stay ahead of the tele this past week. I’ve reviewed the first two episodes of the rather good You (US: Lifetime; UK: Netflix) and previewed the surprisingly not bad God Friended Me (US: CBS). And although I’ve not actually reviewed it yet, I’ve finally made it through the second season of Ozark, so I’ll be boxsetting that for you on Monday. I’ll also be giving at least the first episode of The First (US: Hulu; UK: Channel 4) a whirl.

That means this week’s WHYBW is going to be rather short and sweet, particularly as I’ve given up on Kidding (US: Showtime; UK: Sky Atlantic). I’ll be catching up with the latest episode of The Last Ship (US: TNT; UK: Sky1) and the final ever episode of Shooter (US: USA; UK: Netflix). I’ll also be taking a bewildered look at the first couple of episodes of Amazon’s Forever (no, not that one). Join me after the jump.
