The 20 Best New TV Shows of 2018 (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, 2018 and June 27, 2018. Only shows with at least 7 reviews from professional critics are included.
AMC's 10-episode adaptation of the novel by Dan Simmons is inspired by true events—specifically, the Royal Navy's 19th century search for the Northwest Passage—though it adds a bit of a supernatural horror element to the wintry proceedings. (There's a reason it's titled The Terror.) Produced by Ridley Scott, the series stars Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, and Ciarán Hinds. The network is turning The Terror into an ongoing anthology series, recently announcing that next year's second season will be partially set in a Japanese-American internment camp during WWII.
“This grueling but rewarding 10-part series from Ridley Scott's company is like a Masterpiece version of a classic horror movie: literate and philosophical, yet shocking but terrifically scary.” —Matt Roush, TV Guide Magazine
