New Shows Ring In the New Year

Proceding the beloved show, Boy Meets World, comes Girl Meets World.  The show centers around the tween daughter, Riley (Rowan Blanchard), of the main characters from Boy Meets World, Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga Matthews (Danielle Fishel).  Once you get past the cheesy Disney Channel spin, the show may live up to its potential.  The show’s premiere date is yet to be announced.
 
The first season of the upcoming drama series, True Detective, will follow two detectives, Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) as they retrace their steps from a homicide they “solved” seventeen years before in 1995.  Each season of the series will feature a different cast of characters with a different story (the anthology format).  True Detective will air January 12 on HBO.  

Enlisted is a comedy ready to capture your heart.  The show surrounds three brothers, who each get assigned to the same Florida military base (Fort McGee).  The oldest is in charge of supervising a troop at the base, that includes his two brothers.  Enlisted takes a rather comedic approach to military life, stirring in some emotional scenes between the laughs.  The series will premiere Friday, January 10 at 9:30 p.m. on FOX.  

Rake follows the life of a criminal defense lawyer, Keegan Deane, played by Greg Kinnear (“The Kennedys”), as he deals with his ex-wife, his son, and his intense job.   Rake will premiere Thursday, January 23 at 9 p.m. on FOX.
