Pilot Season Wishlist 2015

Since this year's Upfronts are only a week away, I decided to do a list of all the pilots that I would love to see get ordered to series for next season, so that next week I can know just how disappointed am I supposed to be exactly.

As a general rule of thumb I'll be interested in a new series if it has either a good story or an actor that I like, or both. This year it's mainly the second category that dominates, there are only one or two pilots that I chose based on their stories, and then there's the Arrow/Flash spinoff which is kind of a weird combination of both/neither...it's really hard to explain but I know I'm gonna watch it anyway.

So without any further ado, here's a list of all the shows I would love to see next fall, the ones that I really, REALLY want to see are bolded, and the name of the actor(s) that got me interested is also added.

I'm already prepared for the possibility that only one, maybe two of these will get ordered per network, but that's fine as well, I found some of my favourite shows entirely through hype/recommendations, without knowing any of the actors in them, and then I ended up loving some of those actors so much that a couple of them can actually be found on this list... so whatever happens, I know I won't be bored come September.

If you have a similar list, or maybe just a few series that you would like to see get ordered, do share in the comments! Here's the list that I was working from, in case you want to take a look at all of them and then decide.
