This season’s crop of new and returning TV dramas is sure to keep any audience captivated. But with so many crimes, catfights and controversies, how can you know which to tune into? Here are our picks for the top five buzzworthy dramas worth watching this fall.

666 Park Ave

September 30, 2012 on ABC

Want some haunted house fun?  Then 666 Park Ave is definitely a show you are going to want to catch! It all takes up place in an Upper East Side apartment building In Manhattan that is owned by two hellion types (played by Lost's Terry O’Quinn and Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams) who claim the souls of their unlucky tenants. We are introduced to a clueless couple that move into the too good to be true building so they can manage the place for the owners. Little do they know the devil just might be watching them. This show is sure to have a multitude of twists and creepy turns.
 

Nashville

October 10, 2012, at 10/9c on ABC

From the creator of “Thelma and Louise” comes this feisty country drama. This show promises complex and layered characters full of sass and slick country charm. It also features great performances from Connie Britton (American Horror Story) and Hayden Panettere (Heroes).  Watch as they both become more and more entangled in a web of deceit and lies. Nashville will deliver big hair and bigger attitudes while giving a new meaning to the phrase “the dirty south”.

Grimm (Season 2)

Airs on Fridays 9/8C on NBC

Can’t wait for Halloween? Then catch the second season of Grimm, the show that switches treats for tricks and gives you all the foolish hob goblins that you crave. If you didn’t get a chance to catch the first season, prepare yourself for a supernatural drama that follows protagonist Nick Burkhardt who is a descendant of the Grimm's, an elite group of supernatural hunters. Now Nick has been put in charge of keeping the peace and balance between the supernatural world and the human world. So go get your pre-Halloween fix and check out Grimm!

Revenge (Season 2)

September 30th 2012. 9pm E.T on ABC

You can always count on Revenge to keep things interesting. This show truly captivates you as you watch Emily Thorne’s story unfold one suspenseful moment at a time. We follow the life of Emily as she seeks to avenge her father by bringing those who wrongfully imprisoned and killed him to justice. Last season left us with Emily finding it harder and harder to separate her need for vengeance with her desire for love and security. It leaves the viewer wondering if she can juggle the two or if it will all come crashing down around her.

Revolution

Premieres September 17th 2012. 10/9c  on NBC

Imagine a world without your cell phone, laptop, Facebook or Twitter. Could you survive? Some could for a day or two, but imagine a 15 year blackout! The new series Revolution introduces us to a post-apocalyptic future with no means of electricity or modern technology. We are introduced to a young woman named Charlie Matheson and join her on her quest to find the cause of the worldwide black out. As well as uncovering the reasons behind her father’s death. We watch as she tries to uncover the connection between the two.
