3 Fall Shows that Are Relevant To Your Interests (Part 1)

Heroes is gone. LOST is gone. What's a girl to do this fall without her primetime sci-fi/action fix this fall? Watch reruns of VIP?

WRONG!

Do you like Action?

Do you like Adventure?

Time Travel?

Intrigue?

Attractive people being attractive?

Well guess what, y'all? Christmas has come early.

There will be approximately 7 brand new genre series airing on many major (and less major) networks this fall. Here's a sampling of the 3 I will definitely be tuning into. Will it be for love or lol's? Only time can tell.

1) Undercovers

This is the new offering from the JJ Abrams camp, the same folks that brought us ALIAS, LOST, the now deceased Heroes, and my personal cocaine Star Trek (2009).

Why am I amped about it?

For one, Alias was my jam. And for two, why wouldn't I want to look at Boris "Brown Sugar" Kodjoe getting his espionage on every week? The series also features Gugu Mbatha-Raw, from Doctor Who (series 3) fame, she played Martha's sister, Martha being the Companion with the best hair. If you haven't noticed yet, this means that Undercovers will be (to my knowledge) the first hour-long primetime drama to feature two lead characters of color, this is no small feat, and makes a show that was already sporting about 10 scout badges in "badassery" even more badass.

What's the buzz?

Since it's Abrams, this show is getting as much hype as any show possibly can, especially following in the footsteps of LOST and Heroes.

What's the story?

Two married ex-CIA operatives get called back into the game to find the Big Bad, in the process, they find that action and intrigue are really great aphrodisiacs. A lot of people have been complaining that the show sounds like a rehashing of the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt movie Mr. And Mrs. Smith. To me it sounds more like Remington Steele on the rocks with a twist.
