TV Schedule - Summer 2021
 

Welcome to the tv series schedule thread. This years thread will be different compared to previous years. We are used to many series airing at certain times of the year and it will not be the case this year. As with cinema and film, coronavirus has disrupted production schedules meaning that most of the series which we usually expect to see new seasons start in September/October have been delayed until after Christmas. There was are even some series which weren't able to complete their previous seasons such as the DC series and Grey's Anatomy and and we are awaiting the season finales. The latest information will be posted in this thread as soon as we get it.

Every every effort is made to include all series which may be of potential interest to all forum users however the majority of the series are US produced series and thus the air dates provided are the US network air dates. This list serves to bring exciting tv to your attention and if you wish to watch them on terrestrial tv/sky/virgin etc further queries will need to be made for the air dates. Given the rise of streaming services it will come as no surprise that some of the series are Netflix and Amazon and thus will be available if you subscribe to those services. Please click on the individual series links for further information regarding the series and the network/services which they are available on.

As I mentioned above I endeavour to include a variety of series to appeal to everyone and as such if you feel I have missed something out which may be of interest to the user base please feel free to say so and I will add it to the list.

The thread will be continuously updated as new series and information becomes available and aired series will be removed so check back every month and there will no doubt be something new which may be of interest.

Together they set out on an extraordinary adventure across what's left of America in search of answers - about Gus' origins, Jepperd's past, and the true meaning of home.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I am pretty sure that most of the returning series aren't going to start till January so the good news is that we have got another four of five months to watch older series. I am working my way through SG1 atm, then I'll do Atlantis and probably BSG.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Just to confirm that the DC series won't be returning until January. Filming is set to start this month and DC have released some apt artwork to tease you

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I've never heard of Devils.

Swamp Thing is only a premier on CW, it was on DCU this time last year.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

It is but it aired on the streaming service last year and has subsequently been cancelled.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Got it!

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

It is just like when you get some backwater channel on Sky advertising "the network premiere of Babylon 5 starts this Thursday at 6pm". :)




Utopia premieres Friday 25th September

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Did you watch the Channel 4 version years ago? It was excellent and way too underrated, so got cancelled after its second series. Hoping this has a better chance of success.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I dont watch terrestrial tv.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

It has been on streaming sites before.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Yeah, I have that on my list to check out.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Me too, i am not sure about it though. I expect stuff fr9m HBO to be top notch but this doesnt look very good.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

The Outpost Season 3 returns to UK TV November 17th. (US October 8th).

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I never did get to see Season 1, was it any good ?

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

yeah, defo worth a watch. I would describe it as an action period drama. I always like to watch this kind of things to get an insight into the culture in that time period and I imagine what you see in terms of the life style and costumes is very realistic. Likewise, as far fetched as the story and characters are, it is probably representative of the cultural clashes which existed at the time and how people dealt with one another. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a boring documentary, it is very action packed and entertaining in its own right and well worth a watch. I wouldn't put it on the top of your list but if you are running out of decent stuff to watch now that the fall series have been delayed I would defo recommend giving it a go.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I pulled down episode 1, it wasnt too bad, so I'll probably grab a few more.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021

Ah, James Delingpole - in the dictionary, if you look under "curmudgeon", it says "somebody more pleasant than James Delingpole".

He’s a grumpier version of Toby Young, and a slightly more polite version of Julia Hartley-Brewer...

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Checkout The Watch, I think it will appeal to a great many viewers of this thread. I have added it to the list.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I'm an avid Terry Pratcher fan, I love the sense of humour in his books. Pity he's no longer around to write more.

I'll be giving The Watch a go but I hope I'm not going to be disappointed.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021

I think I have mentioned it previously but there is a new scifi series called Resident Alien. It stars Alan Tudyk so I am sure it will garner much interest. It starts on 27th January

Fate: The Winx Saga






Clarice






Tribes of Europa






The Equalizer

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I watched the first episode of this tonight.

TBH, I didnt really expect much. I never really watched the original series (saw one I think) and havent seen any of the films, and it struck me as just being another PC remake (aka let's redo this, but of course have a black woman replace the white man).

However, I did quite enjoy it, and will continue watching the series to see how it goes. A nice change to have my poor expectations improved on.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

The 4400 Reboot Ordered to Series at The CW

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I never saw the series but I loved the Denzel Washington movie (first one). I am going to be very narrow minded here but my impression of the character is that a degree of physicality is involved and casting PC Queen Latifah in the role doesn't deliver on that and this is the kind of thing which kills my realism factor. I don't care how good the stories are and the production quality, if you can't believe the actor is the character who they say they are then it ruins the premise of the series.


fantastic, i loved the original

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I watched, and the action scenes are believable - may I suggest you try it before you judge?

Not sure why you put "PC" in front of Queen Latifah?

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

"politically correct" (casting choice)

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Not all casting choices are PC though...

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Was it "PC" when Denzel Washington was cast in the film?

Why can’t women be action heroes - have you seen Gina Carano fight, or Charlie Theron in Atomic Blonde or Old Guard?

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

for some US networks everything is about PC choices in casting and pushing certain agendas in story lines and for some series that is the only thing they are about.


absolutely, and they were suited for the role because they were physically fit and capable of doing what was required and thus the performance and characters are realistic and believable. Anyway, what about Aeon Flux :D

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

From that one trailer though she didn't look bad. I'd have to give it a watch though cause trailers are misleading.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Unfortunately, many also are, and in some cases they actually boast about it (Batwoman for example). Even the UK is now doing it (Dr Who).

This was (IMO) another case, but as I said above, I think it went quite well (so far) so I'll keep watching for now, to see how it pans out. :)

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Oh yeah there is a lot of examples of it done badly like. Dr Who came to my mind earlier as well. Arrowverse does seem quite bad for it too.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

It is how they edit the trailer and/or scene which makes it look good though. If they want it to look good they just need to get someone who can do what is required and film the whole thing in one shot rather than getting body doubles and shooting it from different angles, quickly cutting between them trying to make it look like it is the same person. Putting Denzel Washington aside from the movie, I think Keanu Reeves and John Wick are the perfect example of how things like this should be done. He deserves an A*.

it's terrible for it, especially Supergirl. This is what I was talking about earlier but didn't want to pick on particular series. Grey's Anatomy is starting to get really bad for it as well.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

for those of you who like your anime






You should also checkout a new series I added called Debris. I added a description and and a link to a teaser in the main post.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I already had this on my list to try, I didnt realise you didnt. :)

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Tbh I mostly rely on tv calendar to alert me to new tv series. I come across some by accident when reading articles about different things but the majority of them I rely on tv calendar for, that way I get a concise synopsis and a premiere date. I hear about loads of stuff on sites like imdb and tvseriesfinale but there is such a thing as hearing about something too soon. I am not interested in a new series when it has been green lit/assigned script writer/casting is underway etc because it is still yonks away and any number of things can happen between those very early stages of pre-production and the series actually being broadcast.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Thank you for posting that animé trailer General. Looks interesting but as we don't subscribe to Netflix we'll have to wait to see if it becomes available through the usual alternatives.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Well, I enjoyed the film, so I hope the series lives up to it.

I never knew a previous series existed, apparently it dates from 1996.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115277/

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

That is some good talent as well so it'll be interesting to see where they take it.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

New series coming to Netflix soon and definitely worth a watch; The One


I wouldn't normally post a synopsis of new series as it would be featured in the main thread however I do find this one appealing. I love (no pun intended) it when real science is closely incorporated into sci-fi series because if you understand it (and I have a microbiology background which is heavily weighted on genetics background) you watch thinking "could we actually do this, is it possible, how feasible is it, would people be interested in it and what are the moral implications?"

12th March if you are interested

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

I think it is the metaphorical sense like when we say "we are 1 minute to midnight" when describing relativistically how close we are to nuclear war.

Manifest returns 1st April.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Debris March 1st.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

That looks like it could be either very good or very bad. Hopefully it'll be a good show.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Looks good so far.

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

New series coming to Disney+

The Bad Batch May 4th.



Loki June 11th

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

LOL, of course. :D

Its the same Loki trailer as previously posted.

Re: TV Schedule - Spring 2021
 

Debris premiered. Neither thrilling nor poor. Will take a few episodes I think.

The creator/writer has a pedigree in this genre with Fringe though.

Re: TV Schedule - Spring 2021
 

I didn't realise Almost Human was the last show he did. That had potential too. I'll give it a watch soon. From what I remember of the trailer, I thought he could go either way.

Re: TV Schedule - Spring 2021
 

It's on my list, should get to it at the weekend I think.

I enjoyed it. Wasn't the strongest series but it was good quality scifi. Stuff like this doesn't benefit from being a procedural and I would have liked to have seen a more fleshed out story arc like Altered Carbon.

Re: TV Schedule - Spring 2021
 

I dont think it was intended to be thrilling, it definitely had a Fringe feeling about it. I will be continuing with it. :)

Re: TV Schedule - Fall 2020/2021
 

Season 1 now available. Downloading.

Something new to watch.
