Top 13 New Shows of 2013: #4

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 a handful of impressive new television series. As 2013 closes out and 2014 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#4: The Bridge
This dark drama started off as a moody thriller and evolved into a deeply powerful look at two different personalities and the cultures that helped shape who they are. Diane Kruger and Demian Bichir were equally terrific as an American cop with social difficulties and a kindhearted Mexican cop with infidelity issues, respectively, and Annabeth Gish was fantastic in a supporting role that helped anchor and balance much of the show’s grimmer main plot.
