Top 19 New Shows of 2019: #15

My annual TV Awards, the AFT Television Awards, are given out during the summer. It’s always nice to check inn midway through the television season to reflect back on all the calendar year introduced us to. As 2019 closes out and 2020 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#15: Work in Progress

To date, this show has only aired three episodes, which made me consider whether or not it was right to include on this list. I had no expectations whatsoever for a half-hour comedy that Showtime was premiering in December in the 11pm slot on Sunday nights, but this show really surprised me. Creator and star Abby McEnany is wonderful in this creative amalgam of serious drama and hilarious comedy – I look forward to seeing more of it and thinking that maybe I should have moved this even higher on the list.
