NBC, 10:01 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: This isn’t a recommendation, just a notation, because of the talent of the people behind this new series. Two of the executive producers are J.J. Abrams and Alfonso Cuaron – but with Abrams shepherding both the Star Trek and Star Wars movie franchises, and Cuaron just walking away with a Best Picture Oscar for Gravity, the level of their time and commitment to this new NBC series is a very valid question. The opening hour, about a youngster with special powers who is protected by some and hunted by others, isn’t exactly ground-breaking. But if you’re a big fan of Abrams and Cuaron, you might want to peek in and see what they’re up to. Johnny Sequoyah stars as Bo, the girl with Heroes-type developing superpowers. Jake McLaughlin plays her eventual traveling companion and fellow fugitive, and Delroy Lindo plays someone pivotal to them both.
