We ranked new and returning series and films on TV and streaming from January 1 through mid-March by Tomatometer (seasons and films must have had at least 10 reviews to be included).

The final ranking reflects an adjusted score calculated based on the number of reviews a series has; for instance, if one title has 10 reviews and a 100% score, while another has 45 reviews and a 99% score, the second title ranks higher because of the larger pool of critics’ opinions used to form the score.

9JKL: Season 1 (2017)
19%

#94
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Irritatingly uninspired, 9jkl leaves its talented cast out in the cold.

Directed By: Dana Klein, Mark Feuerstein, Pamela Fryman, Aaron Kaplan

#93

Mute (2017)
21%

#93
Adjusted Score: 25599%
Critics Consensus: Visually polished but narratively derivative and overall muddled, Mute is a would-be sci-fi epic whose title serves as an unfortunate guide to how it might be best enjoyed.
Synopsis: In a Berlin of the future, a mute bartender's search for his missing lady-love takes him deeper and deeper into... [More]
Starring: Alexander Skarsgård, Justin Theroux, Sam Rockwell, Paul Rudd
Directed By: Duncan Jones

Living Biblically: Season 1 (2018)
18%

#92
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Living Biblically commits the cardinal TV sin of wasting the outline of an refreshingly unusual premise on broad, hammy acting and stock sitcom laughs.
Starring: Jay R. Ferguson, Lindsey Kraft, Ian Gomez, David Krumholtz
Directed By: Patrick Walsh, Johnny Galecki, Andrew Haas, Spencer Medof

#91

The Outsider (2018)
17%

#91
Adjusted Score: 16559%
Critics Consensus: Starring a disengaged Jared Leto and stuffed with gangster cliches, The Outsider never distinguishes itself enough to gain admittance into the inner circle of good yakuza pictures.
Synopsis: After World War II, an American POW stays in Japan and works his way through the rituals and hardships of... [More]
Starring: Jared Leto, Tadanobu Asano, Rory Cochrane, Kippei Shîna
Directed By: Martin Zandvliet

Valor: Season 1 (2017)
21%

#90
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Valor's attempt to highlight an often overlooked segment of the armed services is undercut by a badly judged blend of military action and melodrama.
Starring: Matt Barr, Christina Ochoa, Charlie Barnett, W. Tré Davis
Directed By: Kyle Jarrow, Bill Haber, Gregory Prange, Mikael Salomon

Disjointed: Season 1 (2017)
19%

#89
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Bland and uneven, Disjointed does more smoke-blowing than joke-telling -- though it's further proof that Betsy Sodaro is a comedian to watch.
Starring: Kathy Bates, Tone Bell, Aaron Moten, Elizabeth Alderfer
Directed By: David Javerbaum, Chuck Lorre

Mind Games: Season 1 (2014)
28%

#88
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: With only a mildly interesting premise, Mind Games leaves viewers with few reasons to continue playing.
Starring: Steve Zahn, Christian Slater, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Gregory Marcel
Directed By: Kyle Killen, Keith Redman, Sarah Pia Anderson, Miguel Sapochnik

Here and Now: Season 1 (2018)
24%

#87
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Here and Now clearly has a point it wants to make, but a nebulous plot and unfocused character development stand in the way of its potential.
Starring: Holly Hunter, Tim Robbins, Jerrika Hinton, Raymond Lee
Directed By: Alan Ball, Peter Macdissi, David Knoller, Jeremy Podeswa

Wisdom of the Crowd: Season 1 (2017)
24%

#86
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Wisdom of the Crowd wastes a talented cast on a formulaic procedural crime drama that wavers between modest returns and unintentional laughs.
Starring: Jeremy Piven, Richard T. Jones, Natalia Tena, Monica Potter
Directed By: Ted Humphrey, Adam Davidson, Avi Nir, Alon Shtruzman

Our Cartoon President: Season 1 (2018)
32%

#85
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Sugar-coated satire, Our Cartoon President wavers between scathing social criticism and softball slings in a way that's as unsatisfying as it is uncomfortable.
Starring: Jeff Bergman, Gabriel Gundacker, Zach Cherry, Anna Eilinsfeld
Directed By: Tim Luecke

Life Sentence: Season 1 (2018)
37%

#84
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Life Sentence avoids asking tough questions about serious issues, settling instead for a cloying sweetness.
Starring: Lucy Hale, Dylan Walsh, Gillian Vigman, Jayson Blair
Directed By: Erin Cardillo, Richard Keith, Bill Lawrence, Jeff Ingold

The Brave: Season 1 (2017)
42%

#83
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Formulaic to a fault, The Brave fails to bring anything new to the genre -- though high production values and a capable cast may be diverting enough for some.
Starring: Anne Heche, Mike Vogel, Sofia Pernas, Tate Ellington
Directed By: Matt Corman, Dean Georgaris, Chris Ord, Avi Nir

Alone Together: Season 1 (2018)
64%

#82
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Esther Povistky and Benji Alflalo's awkward charms and convincingly platonic chemistry work, though Alone Together's lack of urgency keeps its nihilistic tenderness from truly jelling.
Starring: Esther Povitsky, Benji Aflalo, Chris D'Elia, Pauly Shore

Absentia: Season 1 (2017)
50%

#81
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Absentia sticks too closely to the procedural handbook, leaving its capable lead and mildly intriguing mystery treading water.
Starring: Stana Katic, Patrick Heusinger, Cara Theobold, Amber Aga
Directed By: Oded Ruskin

S.W.A.T.: Season 1 (2017)
48%

#80
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Despite a commanding, charming performance from Shemar Moore, S.W.A.T. remains a simple procedural overrun with clichés.
Starring: Shemar Moore, Stephanie Sigman, Alex Russell, Jay Harrington
Directed By: Aaron Thomas, Shawn Ryan, Justin Lin, Neal Moritz

Hard Sun: Season 1 (2018)
48%

#79
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Hard Sun's heady mix of narrative and visual flourishes buckle under a surfeit of clichés that ultimately weigh it down and leave the show a muddled mess.
Starring: Agyness Deyn, Jim Sturgess, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Owain Arthur
Directed By: Neil Cross, Kate Harwood, Nick Rowland, Richard Senior

Dynasty: Season 1 (2017)
49%

#77
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Dynasty's revival retains enough of its predecessor's over-the-top allure to offer a glamorous guilty pleasure in its first season, even if it never quite recaptures the magic of the original.
Starring: Nathalie Kelley, Elizabeth Gillies, Sam Adegoke, Robert Christopher Riley
Directed By: Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Sallie Patrick, Esther Shapiro

LA to Vegas: Season 1 (2018)
50%

#76
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Refreshingly lewd humor and funny, relatable characters are crammed into LA to Vegas alongside pacing problems and a dearth of punchlines, leaving this sitcom's high-flying potential stuck in an amiable holding pattern.
Starring: Kim Matula, Ed Weeks, Nathan Lee Graham, Olivia Macklin
Directed By: Lon Zimmet, Steve Levitan, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay

Instinct: Season 1 (2018)
54%

#75
Adjusted Score: -1%

Starring: Alan Cumming, Bojana Novakovic, Daniel Ings, Naveen Andrews
Directed By: Michael Rauch, Marc Webb, Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin

Final Space: Season 1 (2018)
70%

#74
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Final Space doesn't always hit its mark, but for those looking for a bite-sized intergalactic comedy it may prove an amusing diversion.
Starring: Olan Rogers, Fred Armisen, Tom Kenny, David Tennant
Directed By: Conan O'Brien, David Kissinger, Jeff Ross

#73

The Polka King (2017)
67%

#73
Adjusted Score: 67339%
Critics Consensus: Despite moments of hilarity and a talented ensemble, discordant direction and a sloppy script keep The Polka King from truly singing.
Synopsis: The rise and fall of Pennsylvania polka sensation Jan Lewan, who ultimately fleeced millions from investors through his polka-related activities.... [More]
Starring: Jack Black, Jenny Slate, Jason Schwartzman, Jacki Weaver
Directed By: Maya Forbes, Wallace Wolodarsky

The Resident: Season 1 (2018)
59%

#72
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: With sporadic amusement and a handful of decent performances, The Resident​ drifts between medical melodrama and hospital horror with often unintentionally funny results.
Starring: Matt Czuchry, Emily VanCamp, Manish Dayal, Shaunette Renée Wilson
Directed By: Antoine Fuqua, Amy Holden Jones, David Boorstein, Oly Obst

Rise: Season 1 (2018)
59%

#71
Adjusted Score: -1%
Critics Consensus: Rise's admirable aim to inspire audiences with a grounded depiction of high school theater is undercut by stock characters and an off-putting presumption that it is more moving than it ever manages to be.
Starring: Josh Radnor, Auli'i Cravalho, Shirley Rumierk, Ted Sutherland
Directed By: Jason Katims, Michelle Lee, Jeffrey Seller, Flody Suarez

The Good Doctor: Season 1 (2017)
63%

#70
Adjusted Score: -1%

Directed By: David Shore, Daniel Dae Kim, David Kim, Sebastian Lee
