This was a big night a year ago, as ABC got a huge 3.8 opening from new drama Resurrection and Fox was very much on the map with the documentary series Cosmos. But I'm far more down on this batch of series than I even was on last year's crop before they happened. Two of them will have to self-start; Battle Creek and Last Man will both probably have lead-ins that are (perhaps significantly) smaller than the required number. Only Secrets and Lies follows a series (Once Upon a Time) that is likely to go over, and I'm not sold ABC can get the Once audience interested or make this child murder concept work where others have failed. But it only takes one strong showing for "Over" to cash. Will the new Sunday series be well-kept Secrets? That's The Question for Sunday, March 1, 2015.
Highest Rating Among Secrets and Lies, The Last Man on Earth and Battle Creek Over/Under: 1.65.
TO CLARIFY: "Over" wins if ANY of Secrets and Lies, The Last Man on Earth OR Battle Creek goes over the line, while "under" wins if NONE go over.
