TAGGED AS: Best and Worst, Winter TV
Winter/Spring TV Scorecard 2016
#87
Critics Consensus: Competent acting and a sufficiently intriguing premise aren't enough to make up for Game of Silence's unnecessarily convoluted, heavily clichéd storytelling.
#86
Critics Consensus: Shadowhunters boasts visual thrills and a potential-rich premise, but they're not enough to overcome the show's self-serious silliness and dull, convoluted plots.
#85
Critics Consensus: Lucifer's got sex appeal, but the show's hackneyed cop procedural format undermines a potentially entertaining premise.
#84
Critics Consensus: The Shannara Chronicles wears its influences heavily on its sleeve and needs to find surer footing before it can tap its true potential, but it still might suffice for viewers in search of a teen-friendly Game of Thrones.
#83
Critics Consensus: Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life wins points for earnestness and a slight progressive slant, but an overall lack of smarts or structure keeps the show from living up to its full potential.
#82
Critics Consensus: Uninspired performances and pedestrian writing make Containment just another in the long line of disaster movie scenarios we've seen played out countless times before.
#81
Critics Consensus: Solid performances by Jennifer Lopez and Ray Liotta fail to lift Shades of Blue above the ranks of the pedestrian network procedural.
#80
Critics Consensus: Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny's chemistry remains intact, but overall, The X-Files revival lacks the creative spark necessary to sustain the initial rush of nostalgia.
#79
Critics Consensus: Fancy effects, comic-book nostalgia, and an alluring cast help keep it afloat, but DC's Legends of Tomorrow suffers from an overloaded cast of characters that contribute to a distractingly crowded canvas.
#78
Critics Consensus: The Family takes a confusing, convoluted course to solve its central mystery that few will want to follow, despite a game performance from Joan Allen.
#77
Critics Consensus: While the humor is uneven and the characters verge on obnoxious, Animals compensates with its straightforward approach and wacky social commentary.
#76
Critics Consensus: Mad Dogs boasts exciting twists and a rich landscape, but occasionally squanders its talented actors on stale midlife-crisis observations.
#74
Critics Consensus: Funny writing and a solid cast save The Real O'Neals from traditional sitcom perils.
#73
Critics Consensus: Fear the Walking Dead sets sail in its sophomore season with an intriguing backdrop that doesn't always disguise its deficiencies in comparison to its predecessor.
