The New Fall Season
The New Fall Season

We’re nearing the end of a week of looking at the new fall season on broadcast TV night by night with an evening that just has one new show. And what a lousy one it is. Luckily, it’s also the night of the week when Netflix tends to issue its new programming. 

NEW SHOW

“Marvel’s Inhumans” (ABC, 8 p.m., tonight) is the only new network title, and this one also has the distinction of being one of the worst Marvel adaptations, despite the fact that ABC is owned by Disney, which also owns the comic book line. Stranded Inhumansmembers of a royal family try to reunite and go home except that a conflict develops between Black Bolt and Maximus (about who has the more ominous name?). The characters include a giant dog and a woman who can’t control her hair. Serinda Swan, Iwan Rheon (from “Game of Thrones”) and Anson Mount star in a production that has already bombed at IMAX screens.

RETURNING SHOWS

“Hell’s Kitchen” (Fox, 8 p.m., returns tonight), “MacGyver” (CBS, 8 p.m., tonight), “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (The CW, 8 p.m., Oct. 13), “Once Upon a Time” (ABC, 8 p.m., Oct. 6), “Blindspot” (NBC, 8 p.m., Oct. 27), “The Exorcist” (Fox, 9 p.m., tonight), “Hawaii Five-0” (CBS, 9 p.m., tonight), “Dateline” (NBC, 9 p.m., tonight), “Jane the Virgin” (The CW, 9 p.m., Oct. 13), “Blue Bloods” (CBS, 10 p.m.).
