Crisis in Six Scenes: Miniseries (2016)
18%

Adjusted Score: 20206%

Critics Consensus: Woody Allen's filmmaking skills prove a poor fit for the small screen in Crisis in Six Scenes, a talk-heavy, unfunny, and overall disengaged production buried below numerous superior offerings.

Starring: Woody Allen, Miley Cyrus, Elaine May, Rachel Brosnahan

Westworld: Season 1 (2016)
87%

Adjusted Score: 92604%

Critics Consensus: With an impressive level of quality that honors its source material, the brilliantly addictive Westworld balances intelligent, enthralling drama against outright insanity.

Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden

Directed By: Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, J.J. Abrams, Jerry Weintraub

Marvel's Luke Cage: Season 1 (2016)
90%

Adjusted Score: 93616%

Critics Consensus: An immersive, socially conscious narrative and a confident, charismatic lead performance make Marvel's Luke Cage a stellar sampling of the new Marvel/Netflix universe.

Starring: Mike Colter, Mahershala Ali, Alfre Woodard, Simone Missick

Directed By: Cheo Hodari Coker, Jeph Loeb
