9-1-1, Heartbreaker

9-1-1 is now easily my favourite new show of the season. Also it's already been renewed for most likely a longer second season.

ABC (US commercial station) has yet to deliver a new show worthy of my viewing and Inhumans has been a major Marvel disaster (ratings wise and no doubt it cost a mint to make).

CBS has delivered S.W.A.T which I am willing to give a go, mainly due to David Lim, however I am yet to watch it.

The CW has given us the improved Black Lightning, slow to start but getting a lot better as the season and the family of Mr Black Lightning develops. Dynasty is a ratings nightmare for The CW and will be banished to Fridays soon. It's been a bit of a hit with the gays and picked up by Netflix to screen weekly however after a long winded camp 22 episode season one, season two is highly unlikely.

FOX has rested the majority of my stories at present, Gotham, Star and Empire however 9-1-1, the latest Ryan Murphy series has gone from strength to strength. I wrote about this series around a month ago after watching the Pilot.

I enjoyed it but didn't love it, now six episodes in and after the brilliant Valentine's Day episode Heartbreaker, this is a top show. With DVR ratings included this show is consistently getting over 10 million sets of eyeballs per week and it was an easy option for Fox to go with season two so early on.

It's a shame we have to wait till the end of the month (Feb 28 to be exact) for an episode titled Full Moon (Creepy AF) which to me sounds brilliant.

Murphy is not exactly kicking goals with the second outing of American Crime Story but this will still have him in demand with TV execs at FOX and Netflix.

Finally NBC have had a tough start to the year also, Blindspot is dying a slow death on Friday evenings and Law & Order: True Crime, did not light the world on fire. Despite the love for true crime and crazy American crimes, this show failed to fire. Rise or Glee Version 2.0 or maybe since it's on NBC Smash Version 2.0 is likely to be a hit and even better for Australian's it will stream weekly on Stan.

All five major networks are already working on 2018-2019 pilots and reboots seem to be in, Charmed and a number of others will possibly replace some of this years failures and ending series.

9-1-1, it gets two blog posts in as many months, great, easy to watch and highly addictive. Murphy has another certified hit on his hands and FOX have made a good call giving this an early green light for the writers to get cracking on season two.
