2019 Winter TV Scorecard

Thanks to cable networks and streaming services, we don’t have to wait until the traditional September-to-May network TV season to watch quality programming. The first three months of 2019 brought a total of 90 new TV series, seasons, and movies that made this list, along with 37 Certified Fresh shows.

The final update included the returns of critically acclaimed series including The O.A., The Good Fight, Jane the Virgin, Veep, and Barry; a batch of new shows including NBC’s The Village and Abby’s, Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots, Hulu’s The Act, FX’s What We Do in the Shadows, and Amazon’s Hanna; and Netflix movie The Dirt and comedy special Amy Schumer Growing. Also on the list: Billions season 4, Santa Clarita Diet season 3, and the miniseries Mrs. Wilson.

Which series came out on top? That would be Netflix’s recently cancelled sitcom One Day at a Time, which is currently searching for a new home.

The list below tracks every new TV season or streaming movie from the last few months of winter (Jan. 1 through March 31) that got at least 10 critic reviews for TV shows and 20 critic reviews for movies. (If you’re wondering why your favorite show isn’t on here, it likely just didn’t have enough season reviews to qualify under our criteria.)
