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.
Loosely based on a Richard Villegas Jr. short story, this half-hour Starz drama follows two very different Mexican-American sisters (Mishel Prada, Melissa Barrera, heading an all-Latinx cast) in Los Angeles' Eastside after they learn a shocking truth about their mother. Critics generally liked the six-episode series, while noting that the show is unlike anything else on the network (or any network, for that matter).
“At typical drama length, this series might have been bogged down with plot digressions and expansions. As it is, it sometimes slips into melodrama, but the lapses pass quickly. Life may be too short, but Vida is just right.” —James Poniewozik, The New York Times
