Back at the start of the current TV season, we ran a poll<\/a> asking about which fall TV dramas you most looked forward to watching. Now that all of those series have premiered and you’ve had a chance to watch them, let’s do a follow-up. Which shows are you still watching, and which were the biggest disappointments?
\n<\/p>\n

In the original poll, by far the leading contender was Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’, with ‘Sleepy Hollow’, ‘Almost Human’ and ‘The Blacklist’ also garnering a decent number of votes. Of least interest were some shows that correspondingly struggled in the ratings, including the already-canceled ‘Ironside’ and ‘Lucky 7’ (both of which I’ve removed from this new poll).<\/p>\n

As we’ve discussed in other articles in this blog, I think many of us will agree that ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ has been a huge let-down. I’m still watching and recapping it, but the show has certainly not lived up to its potential or its hype. I watched the pilot episode of ‘Sleepy Hollow’ and found it too dumb to continue on with. I’m told that it got better and is a decent hit for Fox, but I just don’t have interest in picking it back up again. ‘Almost Human’ I kind-of like, though it’s been very hit-or-miss. I really liked the first two episodes of Frank Darabont’s limited-run ‘Mob City’ on TNT, but was underwhelmed by the next two (in stark contrast to our recapper Shannon, who felt the opposite).<\/p>\n

I’ll be honest that I’m a little puzzled by the huge ratings success of ‘The Blacklist’. I passively enjoy the show, but it’s very corny and fairly dumb. With that said, the last two episodes before the winter break made a big upswing in excitement and suspense. I’d like the series a lot more if every episode could maintain that level of quality, but I won’t hold my breath for that. <\/p>\n

The most pleasant surprise of the season for me has been NBC’s ‘Dracula’, which (judging by its ratings) I apparently enjoy much more than the general public. I expect this to get canceled at any moment.<\/p>\n

My favorite new show of the season is one that I haven’t talked about much here. Showtime’s ‘Masters of Sex’ has a phenomenal cast, writing and production values. I’m a huge fan of this, and hope it comes back for another season.<\/p>\n
