Fall TV continues to return with another wave of premieres, giving Noel and Kate another full week of TV to discuss. We kick things off with the comedies and dramas, including the premieres of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, black-ish, The Conners, and The Rookie, as well as another terrific The Good Place. Then we move over to genre, including the finale of FLCL Alternative, the premieres of Supergirl and Arrow, another strong Black Lightning, and the first full-on adventure for the Thirteenth Doctor, on Doctor Who. Afterward, we head over to the spotlight section, to dive in with the first season of Netflix’s The Dragon Prince.
