Loki

Time hasn’t progressed much at all for the ancient god of mischief Loki (Tom Hiddleston) since Season 1’s cataclysmic finale cliffhanger.

Magnum P.I.

The Irrational

SO WHAT’S NEW? That’s a question being asked by many viewers, surveying a fall season of patchwork lineups on the broadcast networks. A fresh scripted series (not counting imports from other countries) is almost as rare as a camera-shy Kardashian, but NBC’s The Irrational would be worth a look in any season, with a charismatic star (Law & Order veteran Jesse L. Martin) and an intriguing premise.
