Blindspot Interview
NBC
We’re still heading into summer, but TV networks are already looking ahead to the 2016-17 fall season. As such, NBC on Tuesday announced premiere dates for its fall lineup, which includes the return of relatively new shows like the hit Blindspot, long-running staples such as Law & Order: SVU, and newcomers like the buzzworthy drama This Is Us.

The first of the fall shows will hit NBC in mid-September, but premieres will continue into early October. First on the list is Blindspot, which kicks off season 2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Wednesday, September 14. The ball really gets rolling the next week when nine shows premiere: The VoiceThe Good Place, a new comedy starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson; Law & Order: SVUChicago P.D.SuperstoreChicago MedThe Blacklist; Caught on Camera with Nick Cannon; and Dateline NBC.

There’s a lull during the last week of September, but a couple more premieres trickle in as October begins. Both new time-travel thriller Timeless and Chicago Fire bow early in the month. By the time the latter premieres on October 11, the shows should be more or less settled in their respective time spots.

Viewers can expect a couple of time shifts during the first few weeks of the season. After its premiere, Blindspot moves the next week to its usual time at 8 p.m. Wednesdays. Additionally, The Good Place will get the benefit of premiering directly after The Voice on Monday, September 19, but it will then move to 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on Thursdays starting September 22. Meanwhile, This Is Us will also follow The Voice initially when it debuts on Tuesday, September 20, but it will later move to 9 p.m. Tuesdays starting October 11.

Wednesday, September 14
10 p.m. ET/PT: Blindspot (episodes will air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT starting September 21)

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
