Top 16 New Shows of 2016: #2

My annual TV Awards, the AFT Television Awards, are given out during the summer. It’s always nice to reflect midway through the television season to reflect back on all the calendar year introduced us to. As 2016 closes out and 2017 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#2: Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

I’m a sucker for time travel, and this truly odd original from BBC America presents a much more liberal view of the subject than I’m used to.

Eight episodes wasn’t nearly enough, and I cannot wait for season two.
