Top 15 New Shows of 2015: #15

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 large number of impressive new television series. As 2015 closes out and 2016 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#15: Supergirl

I’m surprised that one of the best new shows of the year – about a superhero – airs on CBS. This show definitely does not fit the procedural mold that the network is famous for, and instead offers a lighthearted but affirming portrait of a female alien hero forever in her younger cousin’s shadow with a great central performance from Melissa Benoist and great support all around from a fun cast.

Best Episode: Pilot
