2018 TV Preview: 25 Shows to Watch This Winter
If you opt to heat up your winter months with television's warm, glowing, warming glow, you certainly won't run out of options. January and February will see the arrival of new shows from Steven Soderbergh, Alan Ball, Ryan Murphy, Ronald D. Moore, Cary Fukunaga, Alex Gibney, and more. Expect a pair of promising sci-fi shows, a new (but different) DC Comics series, the return of favorites like The X-Files, and even a cartoon look at the Trump presidency. Preview each of the season's most promising new and returning shows in the gallery above.
Debuts December 29 on Netflix. You don't even have to wait until 2018 to kick off your midseason viewing. Six new episodes of Netflix's hit anthology series are available to stream this weekend, including episodes directed by Jodie Foster, David Slade, and John Hillcoat. Though the season is collecting mostly positive reviews overall, critics feel that the highlight of the bunch is "USS Callister" (pictured above), a feature-length Star Trek homage directed by Toby Haynes and starring Jesse Plemons and Cristin Milioti. Opinions are divided on the other new chapters, though Tim Van Patten's "Hang the DJ"—the rare Black Mirror episode that offers a glimpse of optimism—appears to be another favorite. The universal choice among reviewers for worst of the bunch is the closer, "Black Museum."
