This year, the networks have presented a slew of new shows, with ABC and CBS offering a surprising amount of never-before-seen programming to their lineups.

Act of Valor was scripted by Kurt Johnstad ( 300 ) and is reportedly based on several real-life incidents involving Navy SEALs. Those stories were thereafter reconstructed and tied together to form the film's central narrative, which follows the Bandito Platoon as it works in collaboration with the C.I.A. and sets out to stop a global terrorist plot that threatens to result in the coordinated killing of thousands of U.S. civili

The lack of character skins in Valorant might be a turn-off for some players, but others will definitely appreciate the inclusion of the Urf weapon skins.

CW president Mike Pedowitz has been working to get a military drama on the network for several years now, and the choice to make Valor , a drama about U.S. Army helicopter pilots who find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy following a mission that went completely awry, the network's first foray into the subgenre an interesting one. For one thing, Valor is late to the party; NBC already launched The Brave and CBS SEAL Team , meaning The CW is entering into a marketplace that may already be saturated with military dramas. And Valor is airing the same night as The Brave , which even with the lead-in of Supergirl might not be a match for NBC's The Voice in terms of bringing in viewers. There's a good chance those who are looking forward to seeing the Girl of Steel return for season 3 will stick around for the premiere of Valor , after all, it also features a strong female lead with Christina Ochoa, who was most recently seen in SYFY's one-and-done grindhouse series Blood Drive . But it seems questionable whether or not that audience will stick around after the somewhat disappointing and muddled pilot epis


Life Sentence , on the other hand, looks like it could be a charming hit for the network, as it has an interesting core premise but also a charming supporting cast that, from the look of the trailer, will offer the series plenty of story lines to explore as the series goes on and the initial conceit eventually moves into the background. Seeing that sort of future proofing in a trailer isn't too common, so it might be a good thing that Life Sentence seems so aware its concept will only take the series so


It's a solid premise that feels almost like The CW was hoping for a cross between the first season of Homeland and the network's soapy dramas like One Tree Hill , Gossip Girl , and the like. There's some genuine intrigue with regard to the man Nora and Gallow left behind, and the show even generates interest in getting Nora back in the cockpit. But the pilot continues to add elements that the story's mostly solid foundation just isn't equipped to handle. Valor attempts to blend its military storyline and conspiracy with a half-baked psychological drama that's further complicated by Nora and Gallo's torrid love affair that has them keeping yet another secret, this time from her boyfriend Ian (Charlie Barnett).
