It’s harder than ever to keep track of great television. No matter your taste, from trashy reality to highbrow prestige, there’s definitely a show out there that you’ll love — or two, or three, or more — but only if you actually find it among the hundreds and hundreds scheduled to air this year. To get more TV series, you can visit shine news official website.
Luckily for you, Vulture is here to sort through the mess. Here’s our complete guide to the TV shows we’re most excited to watch in 2018, arranged in chronological order by premiere date.If you put Angela Bassett, Connie Britton, and Peter Krause in a Ryan Murphy procedural, I will watch it. Bonus points for the perspective of this Fox show, which centers on first responders rather than the ubiquitous catch-the-bad-guy rhythm.
What if Murphy and co-creator Brad Falchuk figure out how to depict first responders as one part of a government-funded social safety net based on compassion and humor and a desire to help people in their hardest moments? Just spitballing here. —Kathryn VanArendonk The two Crank films are wildly inappropriate masterpieces, and fans of them should rejoice at the existence of SyFy’s Happy! Set to return after a holiday hiatus, Crank co-auteur Brian Taylor directed many of the episodes of this adaptation of Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s bonkers comic-book mini-series, and the resulting show is about as anarchic as TV gets.
I’m told the seventh episode will be one of the most shocking things you’ve ever seen on television, so buckle the hell up. —Abraham RiesmanThe third season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has been hilarious, brilliant, and blistering in its honesty, particularly when it comes to its exploration of mental illness. I’m very curious to see where it will go when it returns from its mid-season hiatus. Recovery is rarely portrayed in pop culture when it comes to mental illness. What does a healthier Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom) look like? What does this mean for her dramatic love life? Can madwomen find peace? Can the series top the greatness of Paula (Donna Lynne Champlin) singing “The First Penis I Saw” in a grocery store? CXG has cemented its place as one of the best shows on air, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. —Angelica Jade Bastién Lena Waithe, screenwriter and co-star of Master of None, created this dramatic series about a predominantly black neighborhood in the South Side of Chicago, with a large ensemble cast and a decentralized narrative that distributes its attention as equally as possible among major characters. In the pilot, directed by Rick Famuyiwa (The Wood, Brown Sugar), a teenager’s initial discovery of a body causes a narrative chain reaction that affects the lives of everyone in the community. It’s been a while since anyone attempted a neighborhood-based ensemble tapestry like this, hemmed in by geography as well as by class and lifestyle. —Matt Zoller Seitz
