Top 20 New Shows of 2011: #12

My annual TV Awards, the AFT Television Awards, are given out during the summer. But this year, during both the spring and the fall, produced many impressive new television series. As 2011 closes out and 2012 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#12: Alphas
Syfy’s newest show is a procedural, technically speaking, but it’s one done the right now, enhanced by the powers possessed by its team members. David Strathairn is a great moral anchor, and the standout is Ryan Cartwright as high-functioning braniac Gary. This show is full of action and humor, making it a terrific science fiction series worthy of a healthy life.

Best Episode: “Pilot”
