The 20 Best New TV Shows of 2020 So Far
Which newcomers on the small screen have impressed reviewers the most during the first half of the year? Above, find the highest-scoring first-year TV shows (and miniseries) debuting between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Only shows with at least 7 reviews from professional critics are included.
HBO's five-part documentary series centers on a dark period in Atlanta's history, when at least 30 young African Americans were abducted and killed. That history is by no means over; the investigation into the killings was recently reopened by current Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms despite the fact that a young man was long ago convicted and sentenced for some (but not all) of the crimes.
“You might walk away from this series thinking that the case was correctly solved. You might walk away thinking it was merely closed to stop a race war from destroying the city. But you will definitely walk away with a clearer picture of why this story remains such a vital part of Atlanta’s history. It still feels like its final chapter has yet to be written.” —Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
