She agrees to become a spy herself and is hurled into a secretive, complicated world of espionage that throws her entire existence into chaos, including her social life and romantic prospects. But hey, at least she has some great wigs to wear in the meantime.

'Lost' 

"Lost" begins as a regular "stranded" story after the survivors of a plane crash find themselves marooned on an uninhabited island. They work to stay alive while struggling to get along and find shelter and food. Then they face a variety of strange threats like polar bears, a smoke monster and a shadowy organization called the Dharma Initiative. Over the course of some seriously confusing seasons, they learn that they aren't actually alone after all. This is a show that will keep you asking questions, and it's a wild ride from start to finish.

'The Middle'

The Hecks are your average middle-class family living in Indiana. Mom Frankie (Patricia Heaton) and dad Mike (Neil Flynn) do their best to raise their three kids Axl (Charlie McDermott), Sue (Eden Sher), and Brick (Atticus Shaffer) while grappling with all the classic trappings of suburban life. The Midwest runs right through each of the characters as they live their seemingly quiet middle-class lives, though it's not always easy when you have three awkward kids, two parents who just want some alone time, and a small town where nothing seemingly ever happens.

'Schitt's Creek'

The Rose family, headed by patriarch Johnny (Eugene Levy) and matriarch Moira (Catherine O'Hara), find their idyllic existence crashing down after they lose their fortune due to their business manager's misdeeds. Along with their spoiled adult children David (Dan Levy) and Alexis (Annie Murphy), they're forced to move to the one area left in their possession: a small town in Canada called Schitt's Creek that Johnny originally bought as a joke. There, they have to learn to adjust to life while living in a rundown hotel without all the perks of the good life.

'Raising Hope'

Jimmy Chance (Lucas Neff) is a 23-year-old who makes a living by skimming pools. When he meets a serial killer named Lucy (Bijou Phillips) on the run from the law, the pair have a one-night stand. When Jimmy visits Lucy in prison months later, he finds that the pair now have an infant daughter named Hope, and it's on him to raise her while Lucy is in prison. The Chance family is woefully underprepared for raising a child, but Jimmy has to do right by his daughter, and the hijinks begin.
