4. Evil — Thursdays, 10 p.m., Global & CBS

In the latest from The Good Wife/The Good Fight creators Robert and Michelle King, the line between science and religion blurs for a skeptical psychologist (Kate Herbers), a priest-in-training (Mike Colter) and a blue-collar carpenter (Aasif Mandvi) as they tackle the Catholic Church’s backlog of unexplained mysteries, everything from miracles to demonic possession to hauntings, in order to determine if there’s a logical explanation to these phenomena or if there’s actually something supernatural at work.

5. Sunnyside — Thursdays, 9:30 p.m., NBC

Garrett Modi (Kal Penn) held the distinction of being NYC’s youngest-ever city councilman—until his arrest for public intoxication was captured on video and went viral, spectacularly cratering his political career.

7. All Rise — Mondays, 9 p.m., CTV & CBS

This legal drama follows a group of judges, prosecutors and public defenders in a Los Angeles courthouse as they navigate a flawed legal system in order to dole out justice. Among them: newly appointed judge Lola Carmichael (Simone Missick), who jumps in headfirst, pushing the boundaries and challenging expectations of what a judge can be.

8. Mixed-ish — Tuesday, 9 p.m., City & ABC

There’s already a Black-ish spinoff (Grown-ish, starring Yara Shahidi) and now we have another—this time a prequel focusing on the childhood exploits of Rainbow Johnson (Tracee Ellis Ross, who provides narration), played as a youngster by Himmel, chronicling her experiences growing up in a mixed-race family in the 1980s after Bow’s parents (Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tika Sumpter) make the move from a hippie commune to the suburbs. Bow’s grandfather (Gary Cole) is also on hand, to remind everyone that he’s the one footing the bills.

9. Stumptown — Wednesday, 10 p.m., CTV & ABC

Based on a graphic novel, How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders plays Dex Parios, a strong, assertive military veteran with a complicated love life and a gambling addiction (along with the debt to prove it). Working as a P.I. in Portland, Oregon, her military intelligence skills make her great at her job, while her ramshackle personal life and blunt manner don’t exactly win her any friends in either the law-enforcement or criminal circles in which she moves.

10. Perfect Harmony — Thursdays, 8:30 p.m., City & NBC

The West Wing vet Bradley Whitford stars as Arthur Cochran, a former Princeton music professor who accidentally stumbles into a small-town church’s choir practice, and reluctantly agrees to coach this ragtag group of singers (including Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp) as they compete in choral competitions.
