FALL 2020 TV SURVEY: 30 MOST ANTICIPATED NEW SHOWS

Critics Consensus: The Trouble With Maggie Cole is that it's logical leaps and tonal incongruities make for a dizzying viewing experience - albeit one with fun performances that's maybe a little confusing, but never dull.

Starring: Karen Henthorn, Gwyneth Keyworth, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Chetna Pandya

Critics Consensus: John Slattery is convincing as a charismatic genius, but neXt's procedural formula could have used more of the intelligence possessed by the series' rogue A.I.

Starring: John Slattery, Fernanda Andrade, Jason Butler Harner, Michael Mosley

Critics Consensus: Beautiful, but slight, A Teacher's attempts to unpack its cautionary tale are admirable, even if its approach is too muted to make a meaningful impact.

Starring: Kate Mara, Nick Robinson, Ashley Zukerman, Shane Harper

Critics Consensus: Alex Rider's first season takes a minute to find it's footing, but once it does it proves a solid entry into the espionage game that the whole family can enjoy.

Starring: Otto Farrant, Ronke Adekoluejo, Vicky McClure, Thomas Levin

Critics Consensus: A modern crime family masterpiece, Gangs of London builds its own empire atop tried and true mafia turf -- complete with engaging drama, exhilarating action, and fine performances all around

Starring: Sope Dirisu, Joe Cole, Colm Meaney, Lucian Msamati

Critics Consensus: Ethan Hawke dazzles in The Good Lord Bird, an epically irreverent adaptation that does right by its source material's good word.

Starring: Ethan Hawke, Joshua Caleb Johnson, Beau Knapp, Mo Brings Plenty

Critics Consensus: Devils has production values and star power to spare - if only the same attention was paid to the writing.

Starring: Patrick Dempsey, Alessandro Borghi, Laia Costa, Malachi Kirby

Critics Consensus: Despite some impressive performances, The Comey Rule's chaotic approach to current events clarifies very little, further obscuring the facts of already confusing circumstances without adding much insight.

Starring: Jeff Daniels, Brendan Gleeson, Holly Hunter, Michael Kelly

Critics Consensus: Though it struggles to find a strong through line, Monsterland's cross-country scares are a perfect showcase for its talented cast and crew

Starring: Adepero Oduye, Adria Arjona, Bill Camp, Charlie Tahan

Critics Consensus: Flesh and Blood's non-linear storytelling doesn't always play, but there's no denying the engrossing glory of its colorful mystery.

Starring: Francesca Annis, Imelda Staunton, Stephen Rea, Russell Tovey

Critics Consensus: Though its depiction of France is tré cliché, Emily in Paris is rom-com fantasy at its finest, spectacularly dressed and filled with charming performances.

Starring: Lily Collins, Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo

Critics Consensus: Utopia's cast and mystery at times transcend its overtly cynical and overly violent tendencies, but even those willing to look past the torture may find the whole thing too timely - in a bad way.

Starring: Desmin Borges, Dan Byrd, John Cusack, Christopher Denham

Critics Consensus: Helstrom's strong visual effects can't save it from the fact that its characters simply aren't interesting enough to overcome their familiar setting.

Starring: Tom Austen, Sydney Lemmon, Elizabeth Marvel, Ariana Guerra

Critics Consensus: World Beyond's strong performances and new perspective within The Walking Dead universe aren't enough to make it stand out in an increasingly crowded franchise.

Starring: Aliyah Royale, Alexa Mansour, Hal Cumpston, Nicolas Cantu

Critics Consensus: The Undoing is a beautifully shot mystery that benefits greatly from Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant's performances - if only its story was as strong as its star power.

Starring: Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Donald Sutherland, Ismael Cruz Cordova

Critics Consensus: Ratched is undeniably stylish, but salacious plot holes and cartoonish characterizations undermine its gorgeous production and committed performances.

Starring: Sarah Paulson, Sharon Stone, Cynthia Nixon, Finn Wittrock

Critics Consensus: It may not be as scary as its predecessor, but with plenty of spooky tricks inside its haunted halls and a strong sense of heart, The Haunting of Bly Manor is another solid entry into Mike Flanagan's growing horrorography.

Starring: Victoria Pedretti, Henry Thomas, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, T'Nia Miller

Critics Consensus: Despite an A-list ensemble and a smattering of poignant moments, The Stand's extended runtime doesn't make for better storytelling, leaving its expansive cast stranded in a cluttered apocalypse.

Starring: James Marsden, Amber Heard, Odessa Young, Henrique Zaga
