  1. Gotham: Season 1
    Not all of Gotham is as successful--a side plot involving Gordon's girlfriend Barbara Kean (Erin Richards) has yet to find its footing--but this dark (and cinematically shot) series will feel right at home as the lead-in to Fox's similarly toned Sleepy Hollow.
  2. Human Target: Season 2
    The interplay of the sexes has been used to better effect on other action vehicles--including FX's animated Archer--but the actresses lighten the tone, adding zip to a show that thrives on speed. [29 Nov 2010. p.42]

  3. American Horror Story: Coven: Season 3
    Despite its cheap shock effects, the show is indulgently ridiculous. [[28 Oct 2013, p.41]

  4. Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23: Season 1
    The jokes hop all over the place but the show, like Chloe, is refreshingly wild. [16 Apr 2012, p.49]

  5. Millennium: Season 1
    With its creepy soundtrack, terrifying visuals and ingenious plot twists, Millennium is far and away the best new show of the year.
  6. Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King: Season 1
    This four-part series adapted from Stephen King short stories starts off with a must-see performance by Oscar-winner William Hurt—the same kind of funny, ferocious, uninhibited turn that gave such a live-wire jolt to A History of Violence.
  7. Big Love: Season 2
    [It] remains a nervily ambiguous concept. [18 Jun 2007, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  8. Suits: Season 3
    Two tense, tricky, fine performances [22 Jul 2013]

  9. Vikings: Season 1
    History's first scripted series is a headlong tumble into an irresistible and surprisingly neglected genre. [18 Mar 2013, p.41]

  10. Dexter: Season 8
    This could all pay off spectacularly. [8 Jul 2013, p.36]

  11. Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 1
    Brooklyn Nine-Nine is fine as it is. Tell your DVR to book it. [9 Dec 2013, p.43]

  12. Huge: Season 1
    This is a carefully assembled, emotionally attuned drama about obese teens stuck in a summer weight-loss camp.
    • People Weekly
  13. The White Queen: Season 1
    Queen delivers the basic goods (intrigue, sex) , but the only vivid character is Margaret Beaufort, mom of the future Henry VII. She's played by Amanda Hale with startling neuritic fervor. [12 Aug 2013]

  14. Torchwood (UK): Season 4
    The show is a bit of a junk heap--Fringe, Mission:Impossible and Death Becomes Her are in the pile--but it's a real adventure. [11 Jul 2011, p.34]

  15. Penny Dreadful: Season 1
    As the season goes on, the narrative grip will (one hopes) tighten and grow as richly decadent as the surrounding production--or Eva Green. [26 May 2014, p.39]

  16. Falling Skies: Season 1
    The show doesn't have the sinister intelligence of ABC's short-lived Invasion, but it's good family entertainment. [27 Jun 2011, p.45]

  17. The X Factor: Season 1
    The talent is good, and on the long road to announcing a top 16, the show expertly milking every drop of pathos. [24 Oct 2011, p.39]

  18. The L.A. Complex: Season 1
    This blah drama about kids living in an LA apartment complex while hustling for big breaks is a Canadian import. [7 May 2012, p.46]

  19. Blue Bloods: Season 1
    Bloods isn't groundbreaking, but there are hints of a deeper scandal woven into the solid plot. Worth checking out. [25 Oct 2010, p.39]

  20. 24: Live Another Day: Season 9
    Jack is back, and he's still a lot of fun. [12 May 2014]

  21. In Treatment: Season 1
    Gabriel Byrne plays the part flawlessly, and he's up against tow especially rewarding talents. [1 Nov 2010, p.42]

  22. Oz: Season 1
    You won't escape easily from this drama's grip.
  23. The X-Files: Season 1
    If the producers can keep the mood spooky, this show will have its devoted adherents. Deservedly so.
  24. NewsRadio: Season 1
    NewsRadio is a nervier, more sophisticated version of WKRP in Cincinnati, updated to a time when people are much less secure about their jobs and far more wary about each other.
  25. Mrs. Harris
    The tone here can be offputtingly strange: brittle, flinty yet over the top. [20 Feb 2006, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  26. The Middle: Season 1
    In its second season, Patricia Heaton's family sitcom seems to have found its natural resting point.

  27. Robin Hood: Season 1
    I wish the show had a little more verisimilitude--the peasants' homes look cheap, not poor--but it's zippy mindless fun. [5 Mar 2007, p.37]

    Karen Sisco: Season 1
    Promising ... Like [Out of Sight's Jennifer] Lopez, Gugino is a looker who can be tough, but she makes the character more open, more alive.
  29. Hannibal: Season 1
    NBC's best new drama since forever. [15 Apr 2013]
