The Best TV Shows Of 2020

With more choices than ever, trying to choose what to watch can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. If you need help choosing which prestige drama or quirky comedy to pick up next, we’ve collected the very best new television options of the year.

Adapting one of Stephen King’s many acclaimed works is pretty much always a recipe for success, whether it’s on the big or small screen. HBO’s The Outsider is no exception. One of King’s most recent works — the novel was published in 2018 — tells the story of Oklahoma Detective Ralph Anderson, who arrests Terry Maitland , a respected citizen who coaches Little League, for the brutal assault and murder of an 11-year-old boy. Though there’s physical evidence tying Maitland to the crime, he still has an alibi, and it’s Anderson’s responsibility to break Maitland, even as the town stirs itself into a fervor in the background.

Starring Ben Mendelsohn and Jason Bateman and boasting a stellar supporting cast that includes Julianne Nicholson, Cynthia Erivo , Mare Winningham , and Bill Camp, The Outsider was a surefire win thanks to its excellent source material and pitch-perfect performances, and critics agreed. The series earned rave reviews, particularly singling out Erivo for her scene-stealing supporting turn. There are plenty of crime dramas on television these days, but The Outsider is a standout.
