THE GOOD PLACE
Premise: From Michael Schur (Brooklyn Nine-Nine & Parks and Recreation) is this comedy that follows Eleanor Shellstrop an ordinary woman who, through an extraordinary string of events, enters the afterlife where she comes to realize that she hasn’t been a very good person. With the help of her wise afterlife mentor, she’s determined to shed her old way of living and discover the awesome (or at least the pretty good) person within.
Stars: Kristen Bell, Ted Danson
TIMELESS
Premise: Produced by Eric Kripke (Revolution & Supernatural) and Shawn Ryan (The Shield), Timeless is about a criminal who steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past. Out to stop him is an unexpected team: a scientist, soldier and history professor who must use the machine’s prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive. Can this handpicked team uncover the mystery behind it all and end his destruction before it’s too late?
