The 20+ reality TV premieres this week
Dear newsletter friends,
Happy fall eve! Tomorrow is the autumnal equinox, and I’m hoping the change in seasons brings crisp air, gorgeous leaves, and the winds of change. 🍂

🗓️ Coming this week
Reality TV premieres this week include:
New seasons of longtime competitions: Survivor, The Amazing Race, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, Hell’s Kitchen, and Halloween Wars
The new Korean competition Crime Scene Zero, which I can’t wait to check out—it sounds a little like that fun show Whodunnit.
More of The Voice and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, with Kody Brown and Jussie Smollett, among others, and The Golden Bachelor. Ugh, screw all those guys!
New shows Unlocked: Family Secrets and The Death Investigator with Barbara Butcher (who you may remember from this show I kinda didn’t like 😅)
This week’s docs and specials include:
A documentary about the Lilith Fair, which I’d make a “Building a Mystery” joke about except that’s actually the doc’s subtitle!
The Bitter Pill, the story of a lawyer who sued drug companies over the opioid crisis
The Devil is Busy, which follows workers at an abortion clinic in Atlanta
Profiles of Roberto Clemente, Barbara Walters, and Cleopatra
What I’m working on
What’s on my schedule to write for you this week:
Reviews of Crime Scene Zero and Next Gen Chef, both on Netflix
A piece about Project Runway, as it ends this mess of a season
Survivor and Amazing Race premiere recaps, of course!
Have a great start to your week, and I’ll see you back in your inbox on Friday.
best,
Andy
