Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are comedic live wires on the third season of Portlandia.

The new Reba McEntire show, Malibu Country, is pretty much the old Reba McEntire show, Reba, recycled.

The espionage thriller is an archetypal and sometimes dog-tired genre. Double-crosses, sex, and explosions can only go so far, so modern audiences demand more personal and grounded spies. The Jason Bourne and Daniel Craig-era James Bond movies scratch that itch, but most televised spy dramas are shallow in the character development department. Cinemax’s second original primetime series Hunted aims to buck that trend.

A high school masquerading as a hospital-that’s the idea behind Emily Owens, M.D. The title character, played by Mamie Gummer (The Good Wife, and Meryl Streep’s real-life daughter) was a loser in high school, albeit a high achieving one.

The CW continues with its winning supernatural streak. The latest creatures are beasts of some kind-and the story has next to nothing to do with the fairy tale of the same name.

The promotional posters for the CW’s Green Arrow adaptation show lead actor Stephen Amell all shirtless and beat-up. Female Smallville fans may flock for the eye candy, but this DC Comics TV series is gravely serious; inspirations include Christopher Nolan’s grim Dark Knight trilogy, Mike Grell’s The Longbow Hunters, and Andy Diggle’s Green Arrow: Year One.

Nashville hits all the marks: fame, family, politics. The always-luminous Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights, American Horror Story) plays country legend Rayna James. Although looking fantastic, Rayna is not selling either records or shows the way she used to.

While Chicago has been the epicenter of a recent rush of TV shows (Mike & Molly, The Good Wife, Whitney) the city’s charm has always been most transparent in dramas reflective of its blue-collar sense of service-take the long-running series ER and Chicago Hope as examples.

Henry and Jane are the new caretakers of a luxurious old building on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Better known as “The Drake,” the building has played host to more than its fair share of tragedies in its 90-year history. Suicides and murders are a norm there; both ghosts and occult societies have called The Drake their home.
