Some new shows

I have enjoyed a few good new shows this TV season.

 HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER is an excellent crime show.  It is the third of the Shoda Rhimes shows, and it is as good as the other two.

FOREVER is about a guy who is a medical examiner of New York, but he is also immortal.  It so far has had goot front stories, and has had a good connective backstory as well.

STATE OF AFFAIRS is solid, but I am still undecided.  Katherine Heigl is alright as a CIA agent, but the stroy is a little slow so far.  I am still giving it a chance.

CONSTANTINE - I am just two episodes in but I am enjoying it so far.  I hope that NBC gives it a chance.  I think it can bring in some of the more mystical characters of the DC Universe.

GOTHAM - This is  so far my favorite new show.  Characters are great, and they chose the actors well.  The new character, Fish Mooney, played by Jada Pinkett Smith, is devilishly brilliant.  I am looking forward to the Arkham storyline that will begin when it returns.

MADAM SECRETARY - As someone who has a background in political science, I am enjoyinng this show.  Like FOREVER, it has both good front and back stories.  Enjoying Tea Leoni as the Secretary, and it is good to see Tim Daly on TV again.  He is good at playing her husband.  The kids story line is a little week, and the only one that is even interesting to watch is the anarchist son.

THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA - I was uncertain about Debra Messing doing drama, but she is good in this.  They surrounded her with a good cast, and put in just enough comedy with her character to keep me watching episodes.
