THR:
NBC's new Friday lineup gets a demo win, while "The Carrie Diaries" loses some steam in its move on the CW.
NBC unveiled its new Friday block last night with the return of Grimm and the launch of Dracula at 10 p.m. Fast National returns give the freshman series a 1.8 rating with adults 18-49 and 5.3 million viewers. The network's first scripted push into the hour in some time, it won the hour in the demo and held 100 percent of its lead-in. Grimm (1.8 adults) was up two-tenths from last fall's Friday return (1.6 adults). Dateline (1.3 adults) started the night, even from last week's two-hour episode, giving NBC a winning 1.6 rating among adults 18-49 for the night and 5.8 million viewers.
Ashley Madison-Sex Lies and Scandal Review: The documentary refuses to take a stand on whether or not it wants us to feel bad for cheaters, infuriating viewers with its wishy washy attitude.
Outer Range Season 2 Review: This season is as insane and slow as the last part and doesn't attempt to answer any questions, while adding on to those of the last one.
Monster Review: While this film delivers elements of horror and thriller, they're only sporadically effective, leaving the overall experience falling short of expectations.
Those two shows on NBC are the best thing to watch on Friday night if you are a stay home person and then after that it's Haven on the SyFy channel.
These two shows are solid. Even Dracula pulled it off quite nicely with a fresh spin yet nice nod to the original material and characters.
