spoiler-free/generalities: I was almost more terrified by the Tench family subplot than by the rest of the show this season.
I know, it has me on pins and needles.

The new season of Mindhunter is good.
I really dig the criminal aspect of psychology. @The Oi
@Hydroponic3385 have you ever dealt with the behavioral aspect of criminals?
Not especially. Had a 6-month practicum where 1 of my days was spent at a halfway house for recently released inmates. But mostly did initial intakes and helped co-facilitate a parenting skills group.
New fall shows that's I've watched so far.
Bob (hearts) Abishola: This is basically a more diverse version of Mike and Molly. I'll probably give it a couple more episodes to make a decision if I'll keep watching. It will be a show that I just put on more than look forward to watching.
Emergence: I like the premise and hope it can build off the first episode. It seems like one of those shows that comes up every year that tries to be a mystery like Lost but can't last past the first season.
Stumptown: This just seems like a show that will be fun every week. It has a solid cast and it should have good source material since it's a adaptation from a comic.
Harmony: Seems like a comedy that fits into NBC's line up. Probably will watch it because I just like watching comedies. Not sure if it has anything to it that will make it long lasting.
Sunnyside: Another comedy but I think the cast of this has more potential and the premise is unique. Weird characters usually make for good comedies.
Carol's Second Act: Saying this a bad version of Scrubs might be too much of a compliment. I think they knew it was show that might be dead in the water so they added Ashley Tisdale in the scene at the credits. I'll give it one more episode to see is Tisdale make a difference but I don't have high hopes.
The Unicorn: A good cast that seems more hand picked than any other new comedy. If I had to bet on a comedy lasting and doing well, it would be this one. It just seems to have the mass appeal like Modern Family or Life in Pieces.
Evil: I think the premise of this is better than the actual execution of the show. After the pilot it feels like they can go in two very different directions. I'm hoping they go towards the supernatural but it seems like they want to disprove these potential supernatural events. It could get very boring and bad very quick.
How in the blue fuck have you watched all these shows?
And perhaps a better question...instead of watching bad network shows, have you considered watching actually good cable shows? Of which there are seemingly thousands at this point.
I watch alot of tv. Most of those are 30 minute comedies. I usually watch most of the stuff new network stuff to see if I like anything. Fox basically punting the year at least helps to lessen the load. I don't have high hopes for most of this year's crop though.
I do watch cable shows too. I don't agree that network shows are crap, there are alot of good ones. They are just more hit or miss which is why I try to give them a chance when they premier in the fall.
I probably went a bit too aggressive by just labeling them crap. The issue, to me, is that very few network shows tend to measure up to the literally dozens of cable shows I already don't have time to watch.
The only network show that has moved the needle for me the past few years was AP Bio, which I found to be really funny and very enjoyable. Other than that, there's not really a network show I can point to that I would watch over something like forty different cable shows.
