Fall premiere season is here! Much has been made of the fact that by the end of 2015 more than 400 scripted TV shows will have been viewed by fans between traditional TV and streaming services, but as HitFix TV critic Alan Sepinwall argued, that can only be a good thing for viewers drowning in great, diverse television. Well, September marks the premiere of dozens of those 400 shows, including returning favorites, as well as brand-new series. It is a lot to keep track of, but we are here to help.
