“State of Affairs” (10 p.m. Monday, KSNV-TV, Channel 3) is finally here.
Not that it’s great television.
Even after some heavy retooling from the version sent to critics in May, the drama about the CIA analyst (Katherine Heigl) in charge of the president’s daily briefing still feels like a “Homeland” clone desperately in need of a Brody.
Its debut, though, closes the door on a terrible fall season.
Of the 24 new series, only “Utopia” and “Manhattan Love Story” are off the air. But I stuck with only Fox’s “Gotham” and the CW’s “The Flash.”
There’s always next year.
