Friday nights, as per usual, aren't jam-packed with new shows. It is becoming less of a place where TV shows go to die (although it is still somewhat of a graveyard). Two new shows (and another airing of reality TV Utopia) are on fall Fridays: another laugh track comedy and a supernatural drama.
Cristela
Premiere Date: October 10
Showtime: 8:30 pm
Network: ABC
Description: Cristela is a Mexican-American law student who must juggle an unpaid internship and her family.
To Watch or Not to Watch: Meh. This seems like basically another version of The McCarthys. Laugh track, zany family problems, etc., etc. Hitflix found Cristela the actress/producer incredibly engaging at the press conference, but the comedy of the pilot too broad and overdone.
Constantine
Premiere Date: October 24
Showtime: 10 pm
Network: NBC
Description: A TV adaptation of the Hellblazer comic book series, which has also been a movie with Keanu Reeves. John Constantine is a man with his own demons, who fights actual demons.
To Watch or Not to Watch: Yeah, I'm in. I'm up for trying anything with a supernatural tinge. It certainly looks exciting, if a bit grim. Hitflix found it a little too exposition-y and wooden, so we'll see if I stick around
