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.
The Duplass brothers, long among the film world's most prolific filmmakers, have increasingly been turning their attentions to TV as well, including recent roles in The League (for Mark) and Transparent (for Jay). Mark stars in—and both brothers write, direct, and produce (along with co-star Steve Zissis)—this HBO comedy series about the complicated lives of four adults in Los Angeles. The brothers have another HBO series (the animated Animals) arriving in February alongside a second season of Togetherness.
