A military drama or a glitzy family feud?
Either way, let the (snap) judging begin.
Valor
Mondays, 10 p.m.
ET
Heres my knee-jerk reaction to the trailer: Who is thisfor?
The trailer fires its shots all over the place.
There are some soapy elements, too look, a love triangle!
and tantalizing shots of shirtless cast members.
And then on top of all that, theres a dash of intriguing, albeit clunky dialogue (Itsalwaysclassified!
I almost lost you over there!)
pointing to a larger mystery of how these honored pilots may not be honorable after all.
It culminates in what looks like a messy, potentially overcomplicated show whose target audience seems very un-CW.
(WillSupergirlaudiencesreally keep the TV on forthis?)
Im still going to proceed with caution on this one, though.
Dynasty
Wednesdays, 9 p.m.
ET
Well, would you look atthat.
Maybe The CW wasrightto bet on a reboot of a show that ended nearly three decades ago.
is aptly inscrutable as the Carrington matriach-to-be, Cristal Jennings.
My only concern is in the way the dialogue translates to this modern setting.
In the meantime, betweenValorandDynasty, Im picking the latter battle.
