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.
Is this the golden age of the "anti-rom-com"? While 2014 introduced critic favorite You're the Worst, this past year saw British newcomer Catastrophe head to the U.S. via Amazon Prime. The six-episode series traces the unlikely relationship between an Irish schoolteacher (Sharon Horgan) and a visiting American (Rob Delaney)—their one-night stand turns into something a bit more permanent thanks to a pregnancy—and features a raunchy but charming script by the two stars themselves. A second season has already aired in the UK, and should head to Amazon in early 2016.
