The team at the SpoilerTV website have put together a list of their most anticipated shows of the upcoming 2017/18 season.
Each regular contributor voted for their own favourites and the results of that internal poll left the site with thirteen shows to present.
One of the lucky 13 is Reverie, a show KM UK and its followers are eager to see as Kathryn Morris is due to co-star in the show that is looking to hit the small screens earlier next year. Reverie stars Sarah Shahi (Person Of Interest) as an ex-cop and behavioural expert brought in by a virtual reality company that is having problems with people not wanting to leave their alternative worlds. Kathryn’s Monica Shaw is from the Department of Defense, who are taking an interest in VR project, and that is rarely a good thing in a show like this. Dennis Haysbert (24), Jessica Lu (Awkward.), and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes) also co-star.
SpoilerTV has now put that baker’s dozen to the us, the great unwashed public, to vote on the ones we are looking forward to most.
At the time of writing The Gifted is out in front in the poll. Lead actress Amy Acker (Angel) returning to the small screen after starring with Sarah Shahi in the hit show Person Of Interest may have a lot to do with that popularity. Amy’s co-star Stephen Moyer (True Blood), another Brit making waves in Hollywood, might also be having an effect. And then there’s the whole Marvel universe and mutants things. And Amy Acker.
Next up is The Good Doctor. David Shore, the creator/writer of House, has returned to the medical profession with this show based on a South Korean drama of the same name. Another Brit, Freddie Highmore (Bates Motel) leads this one with a hint of House about it. Freddie is a brilliant surgeon with autism. Richard Schiff (The West Wing) and Hill Harper (CSI: NY) co-star.
After that is a close fight between several other shows Black Lightning (a DC comics character), The Resident (another medical drama, this time about a… resident, think Scrubs with fewer laughs), The Orville (Seth Macfarlane of Family Guy does a Galaxy Quest-like show), Life Sentence (Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars as cured of cancer living in the moment), and Reverie (see above).
Which leaves The Mayor, Ghosted, Wisdom Of The Crowd, S.W.A.T., Seal Team, and Deception trailing behind.
I think The Gifted will take this one easily. Did I mention Amy Acker’s in it? 
But there is plenty of scope for Reverie to move up to a podium place.
