15 Best New TV Series of 2015
Below, we rank the 15 highest-scoring (and thus best-reviewed) new TV shows to debut in the U.S. during the 2015 calendar year. Shows must have at least 15 reviews from professional critics to qualify for the list. Specials, TV movies, and one-time miniseries are excluded from this list.
Note that Metascores are based on reviews at the time of each show's debut, which generally reflect just the pilot and perhaps a few subsequent episodes (though cable networks generally provide more episodes in advance to critics). Shows are ranked by Metascore prior to rounding.
Thanks to the hit podcast Serial and HBO's recent miniseries The Jinx, true crime stories are all the rage—especially when the cases feature unexpected twists and plenty of ambiguity. Debuting just two weeks ago, Netflix's new docuseries investigates another such tale, tracing a decade in the life of ex-con Steven Avery, who was convicted and then exonerated of one murder, only to be accused of another killing after he was freed from prison.
