Here are new and returning shows, live events, and more to look forward to for the week of Monday, September 4. See how they stack up by Tomatometer so far.


Tuesday, Sept. 5

Adjusted Score: 75316%
Critics Consensus: American Horror Story: Cult intrigues with timely, over-the-top creepiness - and lots of clowns - despite being hampered by broad political generalizations and occasional holes in the narrative's logic.

Wednesday, Sept. 6

Adjusted Score: 99463%
Critics Consensus: You're the Worst remains smartly idiosyncratic in its fourth season, deftly balancing its dramatic elements against some of the sharpest laughs on television.

Friday, Sept. 8

Adjusted Score: 98322%
Critics Consensus: BoJack Horseman's fourth season finds the show continuing to fearlessly traverse the emotional gamut - with results that are heartbreaking as often as they are hilarious.

#1
Adjusted Score: 99463%
Critics Consensus: Tig Notaro balances personal and political storytelling with tenderness and warmth in One Mississippi's even stronger -- yet darker -- second season.


Sunday, Sept. 10

#1
Adjusted Score: 33648%
Critics Consensus: An odd jumble of campiness and sincerity, homage and satire, The Orville never quite achieves liftoff.

Outlander: Season 3 (2017)
90%

#1
Adjusted Score: 90061%
Critics Consensus: Outlander's epic love story returns with the same strong storytelling and an added layer of maturity.

The Deuce: Season 1 (2017)
93%

#1
Adjusted Score: 97904%
Critics Consensus: The Deuce again demonstrates David Simon's masterful grasp of urban grit, while never losing detailed sight of its colorful characters.

Adjusted Score: 33427%
Critics Consensus: A distinctive ensemble brings a compelling flavor of Fear to The Walking Dead mythos, but this ambitious spinoff still shares its originator's penchant longwinded pacing that may diminish the tension for some viewers.

Adjusted Score: 75046%
Critics Consensus: Top of the Lake remains impressively idiosyncratic and ambitious in its second season, even if the plot of this six-episode arc isn't quite as tightly wound as its predecessor's.
