    CBS had a pretty lackluster premiere week last week, receiving tepid reviews for most of its new fall series and breaking a ten-year ratings winning streak, but one bright spot was debut of Evil. Produced by Michelle and Robert King (the power duo behind The Good Wife franchise), thw show is earning praise from critics and strong social media buzz (unusual for a CBS procedural). Is it the eye network's next big hit? Stay tuned...

    NEW EPISODE: Picking up after last week's spookfest of a premiere, tonight's episode of Evil sees our new favorite investigators of supernatural phenomena looking into the case of a high school soccer player who comes back to life two hours after being declared dead.

    NEW EPISODE: One episode into its sixteenth season, Grey's Anatomy may have finally cured itself of mad love, but the show's characters are still making plenty of poor decisions.

    NEW EPISODE: It remains to be seen whether or not this season of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is the reset the show has been needing, but tonight's episode should be a good test, as Benson works with a young woman to help her recall the details of her assault. 10:00 PM ET on NBC
