New TV Season - Weak?

For the first time in years, a very small handful of network shows drew my interest. Is it just me or is the lineup of new shows this year pretty weak? Out of the new shows out, I've only flagged…

Now that it's the new TV season in the States, I went through some lists of upcoming shows starting over the next month or two. For the first time in years, a very small handful of network shows drew my interest. Is it just me or is the lineup of new shows this year pretty weak?

Out of the new shows out, I've only flagged Magnum PI, Manifest, A Million Little Things and New Amsterdam.

Note that I'm only talking about Network TV (CBS, CW, NBC, FOX) and not Netflix/Hulu/HBO/Showtime etc.

Have I missed anything that is on other peoples' radars?

Miss Sherlock is a HBO Asia show. The OP is strictly talking about shows from the major American Networks.

Manifest sounds interesting. Apart from that probably go with 1 or 2 of the non network shows

Add "You" to your list; first episode should be a must watch for millenials on how stalking works and overall a very very promising start.

I know it's not network, but how is Kidding?
