  1. Training Day (2017): Season 1
    Smoothing off some of the rogue cop’s edges, ironically, makes Paxton’s acting job more difficult. He has keep reminding us that he’s contemptuous of many law enforcement standards while at the same time throwing out hints he still harbors some deep and real humanity.Roarke sometimes lurches a little from this balancing act, at least in the early going, and that can throw off other characters as well.
  2. Rosewood: Season 1
    Rosewood brings nothing distinctive or memorable to the formula, aside from the welcome diversity of its cast.
  3. Guys With Kids: Season 1
    The women here are shrewish, the vibe is both manic and tired, and overall, the decent cast (which includes the wonderful Anthony Anderson) is given nothing funny to do.
  4. The Mysteries of Laura: Season 1
    What a big mess, and what a disappointing waste of Debra Messing.
  5. I Hate My Teenage Daughter: Season 1
    Women are as capable of writing a misogynist, soul-killing TV comedy as anyone else. Exhibit A: I Hate My Teenage Daughter, a shrieky nightmare.
  6. Outlaw: Season 1
    NBC's new Jimmy Smits vehicle is called Outlaw. I guess the title 'Contrived, Irritating Star Vehicle' just wasn't as catchy.
  7. Are You There, Chelsea?: Season 1
    Chelsea doesn't do anything to make the TV version of Chelsea interesting, likable or winning.
  8. We Are Men: Season 1
    The existence of this comedy, which pretends to be brash but mainly succeeds in being more offensive, unfunny and predictable than Dads, told me that we have angered the gods.
  9. Bleep My Dad Says: Season 1
    The attempt to shoehorn the Shat into the strained story of a father and an adult son, Henry, getting to know each other for the first time seems false. And when there are glimmers that it might work, Shatner's character, Ed, is visited by his grating other son, Vince, and his even more grating wife, Bonnie. They're awful.
  10. Liz & Dick
    Liz and Dick is badly paced, cheap-looking and encrusted with a tinkly, preposterous soundtrack that is designed to make viewers go insane.
  11. The Kennedys - After Camelot: Season 1
    It’s hard to assess much of the acting here because most of the actors are confined by a script that swings between harsh judgments and moments of deep sentimentality that almost feel as if they were included to be compensatory.
  12. Stalker: Season 1
    This shoddy program is nothing more than exploitative, misogynist trash.
  13. Dads: Season 1
    Creatively speaking, Dads comes off as if it were a much-resented homework assignment for all involved.
  14. Hot in Cleveland: Season 2
    White steals scenes and mugs for the camera, which is obviously what the producers want her to do. But even though the loud laugh track can be annoying at times, there's no denying that the cast of this endearingly retro sitcom makes the most of what they've been given.
  15. The Glades: Season 2
    A few notches below that "must-see" category are those "laundry-folders," if you will--programs that occupy some your attention but don't distract you unduly from household chores.
  16. Parenthood : Season 2
    This well-constructed drama is something to treasure on the TV schedule--it's a show that respects our everyday experiences and emotions and yet also manages to entertain.
  17. How to Make It in America: Season 2
    It's nice to see that in the first three episodes of the eight-episode second season, the plots, such as they are, have a little more discipline and focus than they did in season 1.
  18. Being Human: Season 2
    It's hard to get behind the dilemmas of a group characters who whine as much as this gloomy bunch.
  19. Misfits: Season 1
    The good aspects of this show are engaging and Misfits is a damn sight more consistent than the most spectacular fail in this genre, "Heroes."
  20. Alphas: Season 2
    All in all, the Alphas season premiere is competent and enjoyable when it comes to action and pacing, but this show (especially given its modest budget) will rise and fall on the continuation of the character development begun in Season 1, and the jury's still out on that front.
  21. Happy Endings: Season 3
    Happy Endings has so many things going for it that the occasional weak story line or meh scene is not a big deal at all.
  22. Suburgatory: Season 2
    One of the best things about "Happy Endings," however, is how the character relationships all work--each combination of characters brings its own pleasures. Suburgatory isn't quite there yet.
  23. Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23: Season 2
    This show only occasionally works, and I increasingly think it would have been a better bet as an animated show.
  24. Covert Affairs: Season 4
    This amiable, entertaining show isn't trying to change the world or strain the boundaries of scripted television, and that's just fine.
  25. Banshee: Season 2
    A taut, enjoyable second season.
  26. Defiance: Season 2
    Syfy's Defiance doesn't just cement its place as a well-made and enjoyable show, it continues to serve as a welcome corrective to some recent trends in TV sci-fi.
  27. A Young Doctor's Notebook: Season 2
    This British import is weird, slight and lovingly made, and perhaps most importantly, it's smart enough not to overstay its welcome.
  28. The Blacklist: Redemption: Season 1
    Blacklist: Redemption is a sturdy show built on a smart premise.
  29. Home Fires: Season 2
    Even more in the second season than the first, Home Fires is an ensemble piece. ... It’s precisely this approach, telling lots of little stories whose war connections differ widely, that gives Home Fires a ring of truth.
  30. Power: Season 4
    Power has turned into a stronger show as it’s gone along because it knows how to accelerate the action and keep the characters compelling without taking the seductive path of becoming a lavish soap. ... Besides Sikura, Naughton and Loren also shine in the opener.
