Best New Shows of 2016 (In Brief)

For as long as I can remember, I've pulled together a list of the best new television shows of a particular year. Even though this year my role with covering television changed significantly, I felt I would be remiss if I didn't scroll back through the mental catalogue I was keeping of the best new shows of 2016 and offer up my take.

Like last year, I won't be writing captions for this and this list will have to stand on its own without qualifications or explanations.

Without further ado, here is my list of the best new televisions shows of 2016:

Stranger Things
Better Things
Atlanta
Insecure
The Night Of
The Night Manager
Search Party
Thirteen
The Crown
Fleabag
Westworld
Victoria
The A Word
Lady Dynamite
Love
The Good Place
The Girlfriend Experience
