The Worst New TV Shows of 2019
What were the biggest television duds of the past year? Above are the lowest-scoring first-year primetime TV series (including limited series) debuting in the United States between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019. Shows are ranked by Metascore (an average of grades from top professional critics on a 0-100 scale) prior to rounding, and must have at least 4 reviews from professional critics.
(#4) It may have been Fox's highest-rated TV series last season, but this singing competition featuring elaborately disguised celebrities mostly left critics bored despite being weirder than other TV talent shows.
“The show’s far more boring than it has any right to be ... So far, the American version is too preoccupied with selling the enormity of the the unmaskings that it doesn’t bother to make sure the rest of the show is particularly interesting at all.” —Caroline Framke, Variety
