Fall TV Scorecard 2016

Critics Consensus: Haters Back Off is bizarre, painful, and often times excruciatingly funny-yet the appeal of the YouTube transport doesn't quite carry over in the longer television format.

Starring: Colleen Ballinger, Steve Little, Angela Kinsey, Erik Stocklin

Critics Consensus: The Great Indoors serves up one repetitive, formulaic joke, though the cast performs respectably within the significant constraints of the material.

Starring: Joel McHale, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Susannah Fielding, Chris Williams

Critics Consensus: American Housewife is boosted by a strong and enjoyable lead performance by Katy Mixon, yet her performance alone strains to sustain an excessively quirky show that relies too heavily on stereotypes.

Starring: Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader, Daniel DiMaggio, Meg Donnelly

Critics Consensus: Graves squanders the talent of its star, Nick Nolte, and lacks the sharp satire needed to live up to its claim as a political dramedy.

Starring: Nick Nolte, Sela Ward, Skylar Astin, Callie Hernandez

Critics Consensus: A formulaic set-up and predictable plotting are elevated by The Ranch's surprising sensitivity and strong performances.

Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Sam Elliott, Debra Winger

Critics Consensus: Son of Zorn earns points for originality, a talented cast, and intermittent laughs, but they aren't quite enough to prop up a gimmick that's still in search of a workable premise for an ongoing series.

Starring: Jason Sudeikis, Cheryl Hines, Tim Meadows, Johnny Pemberton

Critics Consensus: Lethal Weapon's overly polished production values and tired narrative are somewhat overcome by solid chemistry between its two leads.

Starring: Damon Wayans, Clayne Crawford, Jordana Brewster, Kevin Rahm

Critics Consensus: While the execution borders on superficial, the dark humor and character chemistry in Divorce hit the mark.

Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Thomas Haden Church, Molly Shannon, Talia Balsam

Critics Consensus: Though the narrative remains too ambitious, DC's Legends of Tomorrow enjoys a freer creative arc with the removal of problem characters.

Starring: Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Arthur Darvill, Dominic Purcell

Critics Consensus: Odd and ambitious, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency sometimes overdoses on pure weirdness but offers absurdist rewards to those who stick with it.

Starring: Samuel Barnett, Elijah Wood, Aaron Douglas, Dustin Milligan
