Gotham | The
highly anticipated Batman TV series stars Benjamin McKenzie as James Gordon
before he became the commissioner of Gotham. Apparently it will be the hybrid of
a crime-of-the-week procedural, while also teasing introductions to the famous
mythology. A young Bruce Wayne, Penguin, Catwoman and Poison Ivy are set to
appear.
FOX’s foray into superhero television comes after The CW’s notable
success with the retired “Smallville” and recent hit
“Arrow”. Last
season, ABC attempted to produce similar results with “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”,
which after sufficient early buzz saw its share of struggles. “Gotham” has a 16-episode order so FOX is taking a cautious
approach before committing to more, a move that should prove fruitful either
way.

Red Band Society |
An American adaptation of the Catalan series “Polseres vermelles”, “Red Band
Society” follows the relationships between a group of teens living
in a pediatric ward and the staff that takes care of them. Billed as a dark
comedy, it’s hard to imagine watching a show focused on such a grim subject
matter. However, the trailer makes a compelling case to watch. It was
incredibly moving, reminiscent of “Glee” with the theme of
kids from different walks of life being brought together by similar circumstances.
After the success of
“The Fault in Our Stars”, it wouldn’t be
surprising to see “Red” be a hit. Oscar winner Octavia Spencer anchors the
cast of unknowns and she should provide a lot of the series heartfelt laughs.
Premieres: Sept 17 & Airs Wed @9pm EST
Best Returning Bet:
Glee | The last season of the landmark musical dramedy will take its final
curtain call next year. Bidding farewell to the lovable characters that have
left an indelible impression will bring its share of sorrow but the good news
is that it is putting its best foot forward to give fans the goodbye they
desire. The final season finds Blaine, Sam and Rachel returning to Lima to
pursue new endeavors.
Last season the show lost a bit of itself in New York,
especially where Rachel came into play. Thankfully, she seems to be back on
track next season as her storyline focuses on efforts to resurrect the Glee
Club. Catch up on Season 5 with Eclectic Pop's TV Report Card,
