Hey all,
2014 winner Outlander makes its bow in today's opening poll. The Starz series is the competition's top seeded current show this year, leaving it in good shape to impress once again. Whether or not it can replicate its debut glory is yet to be seen, but it will certainly be a strong contender, especially with its third season premiering right on the cusp of the end of the season round in just a couple of weeks time. Grimm is its opponent today, appearing just mere months after wrapping its series having been absent from this competition since 2013 - in my time at the helm, this is Grimm's first appearance. No disrespect intended towards it, but, after today, I'd be surprised if I see it again before next year.
Supergirl, a show I considered far more widely supported here than the nomination stage would suggest, is up next. Last year, after a rocky freshman season that saw it move from CBS to the CW over hiatus, it finished 57th in the competition. I'd be astounded if it did so poorly this year. Another recently concluded drama, debutant Bates Motel, challenges the Girl of Steel today. The Psycho-based series goes somewhat under the radar but isn't lacking in fans, so this could be an interesting contest - albeit one I expect it to lose.
A reminder of the rules:
