As the season premiere of Valor approaches next week, media sites are analyzing the show’s potential for success. Adweek took a look at each broadcast network’s fall season premieres, and concluded their search with the CW’s new programming. Although Adweek acknowledged that the strong female lead in Valor would connect to the CW network’s millennial female demographic, the website doesn’t have much faith in the show itself.

Critics, like those at Adweek, believe Valor’s plot is not strong enough to compete with the other military shows premiering this season on NBC and CBS. While the actors have been noted as potentially successful, their characters don’t seem to be believable army enlisters. Critics argue that while the actors could be successful in other roles, the particular casting choices for this show were poor.

Despite critics suggesting this military drama to be off brand and unbelievable, they are anticipating higher ratings for Dynasty, the reboot of and 80’s primetime SOAP. The female driven drama is expected to serve an audience’s guilty-pleasure, and could be a strong follow for Valor. Hopefully if viewers enjoy the soapy female-targeted Dynasty, they will tune in earlier to watch the female driven military drama.
