Winter/Spring TV Scorecard 2016

Critics Consensus: Full of addictive twists, the second season of 12 Monkeys overcomes time traveling logic issues with help of added thriller elements.

Starring: Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Kirk Acevedo, Barbara Sukowa

Starring: Connie Britton, Hayden Panettiere, Clare Bowen, Chris Carmack

Critics Consensus: Though it can never live up to its parent publication in terms of purpose and cachet, many of the segments in The New Yorker Presents are classy, polished, and culturally educational.

Starring: Edwidge Danticat, Jesse Moss, Courtney Barnett, Murray Bartlett

Critics Consensus: While the plot could be more concise, Hap and Leonard benefits from engaging characters and an absorbing, offbeat atmosphere.

Starring: James Purefoy, Michael Kenneth Williams, Christina Hendricks

Critics Consensus: Six seasons in, The Walking Dead is still finding ways to top itself, despite slow patches that do little to advance the plot.

Starring: Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan

Critics Consensus: House of Cards retains its binge-worthiness by ratcheting up the drama, and deepening Robin Wright's role even further.

Starring: Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, Jayne Atkinson

Critics Consensus: What Wynonna Earp lacks in originality it more than makes up for in gritty, silly, supernatural fun.

Starring: Melanie Scrofano, Tim Rozon, Shamier Anderson, Dominique Provost-Chalkley

Critics Consensus: Judd Apatow's Love is an honest look at building a relationship, helped along by its two appealing leads.

Starring: Paul Rust, Gillian Jacobs, Claudia O'Doherty, Mike Mitchell

Starring: Charlotte Newhouse, Jillian Bell, Stephen Root, Jennifer Elise Cox

Critics Consensus: Togetherness returns with its charm intact, though its compelling characters could stand to have a few more laughs.

Starring: Mark Duplass, Melanie Lynskey, Steve Zissis, Amanda Peet

Critics Consensus: Bloody and captivating as always, Game of Thrones plunges back into the midst of a world touched by grief, dread, and precarious sexuality.

Starring: Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Iain Glen

Critics Consensus: While still tonally uneven in season two, Gotham is back with a renewed focus, moving away from disjointed case-of-the-week plots into a darker, more stable serialized story.

Starring: Benjamin McKenzie, Donal Logue, Michael Chiklis, Sean Pertwee

Critics Consensus: Time Traveling Bong's goofy stoner adventure is packed with good-natured giggles -- and makes a few sneakily intelligent points along the way.

Starring: Ilana Glazer, Paul W. Downs

Critics Consensus: Angie Tribeca's unique blend of sharp wit and broad humor - and the obvious fun being had by a talented cast - make for a consistent, charmingly absurd spoof of police procedurals.

Starring: Rashida Jones, Deon Cole, Andree Vermeulen, Jere Burns
