SHOWS YOU MUST SEE BEFORE YOU DIE
Most people don't have the time to watch everything that's
coming out, no matter how good the TV show.
The problem now is we have to become really selective. Some of
the stuff that made it to our TV screens a year or two ago just doesn't hold up
any longer compared to the competition.
Cable, the streaming companies, and even broadcast are taking
viewers to bold new places - from HBO's "The Young Pope" to FX's
"Legion" and Netflix's "A Series of Unfortunate Events."
But where should you start?
WE keep track of a curated group of
critics, assigns each review a number according to how positive or negative it
was, and then creates a weighted average score for each show.
