Re: Things that surprised you about new shows you're watching!

I've been watching three new shows lately.

All Rise: honestly, I'm surprised I like it as much as I do. The commercials didn't look like my kind of thing at all, but it's way better than I expected. I love the relationship between the leads...I do sort of ship them, but I also appreciate their friendship because a platonic relationship between M/F characters with no 'will they-won't they' subtext is super rare. I also love that the good guys pretty much always win. It's not realistic in the slightest, but reality kind of sucks right now so I'm enjoying it.

Prodigal Son: it's much darker than I expected for a non-cable show and much more interesting than I expected. I'm pleasantly surprised by the pacing, too. A lot of times in mystery type shows things are revealed so slowly that it drags out and I just get bored. But even though we still know very little in the grand scheme of the story, they've done it in a way that hasn't been boring, at least in my opinion.

Evil: the show overall just isn't really what I expected. I don't know what I expected, but it's...weird. I saw reviews that compared it to the X-Files, and I personally don't find it at all similar. It's just strange, and kind of hard to describe, and I'm oddly intrigued by it.

I've been watching Prodigal Son and am also pleasantly surprised by the pacing. I was NOT expecting the pivot away from Murder of the Week cases into the Junkyard Killer arc, and it's been really fun to watch everything unfold.

nayrt

I was impressed by that, too. I thought I would get bored with the Murder of the Week plots unless the characters drew me in a la Elementary, but having an arc with mystery AND direct relations to the characters is definitely working in the show's favor.

Ah, I've been loving Prodigal Son too! I kind of meh'd out of Evil after 4 or 5 episodes, it just didn't hit enough interesting buttons for me.
