This show caught my eye based on the commercials alone, and I had thought about watching it. Based on what you've posted here, I might give it a try.

"Based on TVLine’s annual Fall TV Premiere Polls, this is how they ranked (broken down within letter grade by our top-secret and proprietary mathematical algorithm):

1. Evil (average reader grade “B+”)
2. Prodigal Son “B+”
3. Emergence “B+”
4. Stumptown “B+”
5. The Unicorn “B”
6. All Rise “B”
7. Perfect Harmony “B”
8. mixed-ish “B”
9. Bluff City Law “B-“
10. Sunnyside “C+”
11. Bob Hearts Abishola “C+”
12. Carol’s Second Act “C”

Our world-class Fall TV Premiere Polls also measure the respondents’ intent to watch a second episode of the sampled shows. Fox’s Prodigal Son topped that list with 94 percent planing to stay tuned, followed closely by Evil and Emergence. The prospect for retention is far less promising for the noobs in the bottom three: Sunnyside and Bob Hearts Abishola (with 70 percent planning to stick around), and then Carol’s Second Act (just 68 percent)."
