The best in 2017 TV

For us, the following were the best of 2017 on TV.  Where's MR. ROBOT?  We're still feeling burned from season two.


1) SENSE8 -- the second season of the series was epic -- even if NETFLIX failed to realize it.


2) WILL & GRACE -- a funny sitcom -- naturally, they had to go back to the 90s to deliver that.

3) LAW & ORDER TRUE CRIME: THE MENENDEZ MURDERS -- who would have ever thought there's be an aspect of the Dick Wolf franchise worth applauding?

4) DISJOINTED -- NETFLIX scores with this Kathy Bates-led comedy.

5) ORPHAN BLACK -- the Canadian series went out on all the right notes.

6) HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER -- at a time when Shonda Rhimes' Thursday night is looking rather blood poor, this show turned it around in the spring of 2017 and has been must-see TV ever since.

7) THE BLACKLIST -- did they really just kill Tom in the winter finale?  Let's hope not.  But the fall episodes were the tightest the show's ever been.

8) AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE -- the funniest thing on ABC.

9) EMPIRE -- when it's good, it's great, when it's bad, it's so very frustrating.   Season four isn't the giddy high of season two but it's also not the head-hammering-against-the-wall that was so much of season three.


10) BIG LITTLE LIES -- you can't talk the best of 2017 without noting this strong effort.
