The New Normal

What happens when a gay male couple (Andrew Rannells and Justin Bartha, natch) decide to have a child through a surrogate--and even ask her, however unlikely this would be, to move in with them?

Elementary

Sherlock Holmes reboots are a dime a dozen, but this adaptation could breathe new life into the classic with its modern Manhattan setting and an intriguing twist: Jonny Lee Miller stars as Holmes, but Lucy Liu plays Watson, a woman hired by Holmes's father to keep him sober.
