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.
If you don't get the Sundance Now streaming service (and, let's face it, you don't), you are missing out on a well-received dramedy from deaf actors Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman, who serve as writers, creators and stars. The cast of This Close, which has been renewed for a second season, also includes Zach Gilford, Cheryl Hines, and Marlee Matlin.
“Both Stern and the less-seasoned Feldman are appealing performers who’ve written themselves characters they know and can play well, in both their righteous moments and their deeply flawed ones. And even when the story sags here and there, This Close is a reminder of the creative value of more inclusive storytelling.” —Alan Sepinwall, Uproxx
