The year 2016 has not been a great year for TV shows fanatics, but it’s been a reasonably good 50 weeks nonetheless. Across the genres, whether it’s drama, fantasy, adventure or crime, there have been hits and misses.
Here’s a list of TV shows which managed to strike a chord with the TV audience in the year 2016:
Westworld
This was the most anticipated HBO show in 2016, and guess what it delivered the goods. It raises great philosophical & existential questions about our lives, the planet and the state of entire society. It is unarguably the best sci-fi fantasy show of 2016 with jaw-dropping performances particularly from Thandie Newton, Anthony Hopkins, and Rachel Wood.
Stranger Things
It’s one of the best original TV series that Netflix has ever produced, which crystallizes our love for everything 80’s. It crafts a compelling adventure story that leaves you wanting for more and you couldn’t help but cheer for the amazing direction of the show. Hats Off!
The People v. OJ Simpson
It’s a different take on the OJ Simpson trials which shocked the conscience of the nation and redefined the very definition of a serial criminal. Ryan Murphy pulled off a masterpiece with an extraordinary ensemble of actors along with an amazing screenplay.
Game of Thrones
It’s kinda clichéd now to praise this international phenomenon again and again, but the season 6 of the show deserved all the props for taking the show to a whole new level. The Battle of the Bastards is the best thing on TV in 2016. Can it go bigger and bloodier?
The Americans
It’s one of the most underrated cold war spy drama which will hook you from the word go, and it was amazing as hell.A 13-episode fifth season will air in 2017. The sixth and last season will consist of 10 episodes and air in 2018. Three episodes remain in the series’ current fourth season.
