Top 10: Autumn TV Shows

More and more TV shows appear on the screens each year. Therefore, it becomes really difficult to choose the best ones.

10 prospective premiers of this fall for your attention.

1. The Intruders

BBC America, August 23

This show is a new project of the executive producers of The X-Files and a co-director of The Blair Witch Project, the most successful mystical series of the nineties. Despite its graveness, The Intruders is full of unseemly funny clichés, like a secret brotherhood of eternal people and a pair of retired cops, working on the side as writers. In a word, welcome back to the nineties.

3. Red Band Society

Fox, September 17

The story of the severely ill adolescents in the hospital.

10. The Missing

Thriller about British tourists who start for continental Europe to visit FIFA World Cup. During a stopover in France their child disappears.
