The television industry was flooded with new series in 2016. With about 18,450 shows premiering, 2016 was the biggest year yet for scripted television. Netflix and other streaming platforms have a number of new shows, including everything from groundbreaking comedy series to fresh-faced dramas.
The Best TV Shows of 2016 - Almost Half are Freshly Made
This year's screen was filled with a wide range of perspectives and voices. The result is an array of compelling and edgy shows. More than half the list is made up of brand new shows. And more than a fourth of these were created by women or minorities. These new shows took years to reach the screen. Others were created by writers with no previous experience in television.
The Top Ten TV Shows of 2018: 1. Stranger Things (Netflix) - This underrated series isn't exactly a smashing success, but it has found an audience among the most diehard pop culture devotees out there and, thanks to a genuinely organic beginning, has become a cultural touchstone for a whole generation.
2. American Crime Story (FX) - Set during the Rodney King race protests and O.J. Simpson trial, a time capsule of 20 years ago that could be watched again and again, also had an impact on the viewers today by telling a tale more true to reality than most TV series.
3. The Good Place, Mike Schur's humorous ode to forgiveness, ethics, and fixing broken societies is an impressive feat in comedy storytelling. This story sounds like something that would be in an Adam Sandler film, but Schur and the cast have turned it into a funny treatise about finding your moral compass and loving yourself more.
4. Bojack Horseman, an animated show where humans and animals coexist, gets more complex with every new season. It's not often that a show can have both the pure joy and inventiveness of a nearly dialogue-free underwater episode and the dark horror of the season's third penultimate "Grandpa" installment.
5. American Crime Story - This FX miniseries built on a storyline that had been around for decades and took it to new heights by showing how the NSA spied on Americans while still allowing fans to enjoy the series for what it was: a deeply tense, psychologically complex political thriller. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Keri Russell gave some of the most complex and brilliant performances that have been seen in recent years.
6. The Handmaid's tale - Based off Margaret Atwood's dystopian novels, the Hulu Series is far more acclaimed than the 1990 feature movie of the same. Elisabeth Moss delivers a stunning performance as she portrays what could happen in a dystopian world where religious radicals are in control.
