3 new series kick off the fall TV season — VIDEO

The fall TV season officially kicks off Monday night with the premiere of three new series: NBC’s “Blindspot,” Fox’s “Minority Report” and CBS’ “Life in Pieces.”

Here’s a look: 

BLINDSPOT

 

10 p.m. Monday, NBC

Who’s in it: Sullivan Stapleton (“Strike Back”), Jaimie Alexander (“Thor”), Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“Without a Trace”), Rob Brown (“Treme”)

What it is: A young woman (Alexander) is found in a duffel bag in Times Square, naked and covered from neck to toe in fresh tattoos, including the name of FBI Agent Kurt Weller (Stapleton), with zero memory of who she is or how she got there.

Why you should watch: 1) You love “Bad Ink” and “Tattoo Nightmares.” 2) You never saw “Prison Break” with its similar ugly-tattoos-as-a-series-of-clues storytelling device. 3) You like your high-concept action thrillers entertaining but full-blown, bat-excrement crazy.

MINORITY REPORT

 

9 p.m. Monday, Fox

Who’s in it: Meagan Good (“Think Like a Man”), Stark Sands (Broadway’s “Kinky Boots”), Wilmer Valderrama (“That ‘70s Show”)

What it is: In 2065, a decade after the demise of the Precrime program, Dash (Sands), one of the three precognitives who predicted future felonies, teams with a police detective (Good) to try to stop murders before they happen in this sequel to the Tom Cruise-Steven Spielberg movie.

Why you should watch: 1) You’re a sucker for the sort of solid but ultimately marginally rated genre fare Fox introduces every year around this time. 2) You miss “Almost Human,” last fall’s genre entry, with its similar futuristic pairing of a no-nonsense cop and a socially awkward outlier. 3) You can’t get enough glimpses of the future, whether it’s the rampant virtual reality and holograms, the selfie drones or the NFL’s Washington Red Clouds.
