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.
