Below you can see a snapshot of the show, a trailer and a reason why you should.
#5 Supergirl
Melissa Benoist suits up as Superman’s cousin in this lighthearted drama. Come for bubbly heroine Kara saving National City from disaster, stay for the Devil Wears Prada work environment with Kara’s nightmare boss Cat (Calista Flockhart) and wardrobe changes. Mehcad Brooks, David Harewood, and Chyler Leigh also star.
Why You Should Watch: A girl super heroine is just what the world needs now.
Where It Can Win: The last proper girl superhero on primetime television was Wonderwoman. This could long a long way for #girlpower.
It will air October 26, 2015 at 8:30pm. Watch the trailer:
#4 Quantico
The cast is headed by Aunjanue Ellis as Miranda Shaw, the Assistant Director of the FBI Academy, with Josh Hopkins as her subordinate, FBI Special Agent Liam O’Connor. The series’ protagonist is Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra), an FBI trainee who has an affair with another recruit. Jake McLaughlin, Tate Ellington, Graham Rogers, Johanna Braddy and Yasmine Al Masri co-star as FBI recruits.
Why You Should Watch: FBI shows teach more than you know. The lead character has tons of strength.
Where It Can Win: It can take the idea of procedural show to the next level. It is smartly shot.

#3 Blood & Oil
Don Johnson won’t be getting Blood & Oil all over his Miami Vice linen clothes in this dirty series about a modern-day oil boom in North Dakota. Johnson plays an oil tycoon who’s the antagonist to ambitious young couple Billy (Chace Crawford) and Cody (Rebecca Rittenhouse), who do everything they can to break off a little piece of that oil pie for themselves. Will everything of theirs — including their marriage — stand up to the challenge?
Why You Should Watch: This will be the tune that allows for a mix of young and old to sit and watch together.
Where It Can Win: The show show has the promise of telling a real good versus evil tale. Don Johnson is a very strong actor who should drive the younger members to perfect.

#2 Code Black
Marcia Gay Harden stars in this medical drama about an emergency room in Los Angeles that’s overcrowded, understaffed and under-equipped. But the doctors get it done, because this is a television show! Based on Ryan McGarry’s award-winning documentary of the same name, Code Black also stars Luis Guzman, Raza Jeffrey, Benjamin Hollingsworth and Bonnie Somerville.
Why You Should Watch: Luis Garcia is a great actor. Singularly he is the one reason yo should tune in. Hopefully we get to see tons of him during the season.
Where It Could Win: If it delivers a fast paced hospital focused show it will be a monster! It’s only competition is Chicago Med. ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy focuses too much on the personal lives of the doctors.
It begins airingWednesday, Sept. 30 at 10pm on CBS. Watch the trailer:
#1 Limitless
