8. "Friends From College" (Netflix)
Season 2 premieres January 11.
Description:"Twenty years after graduation, a tight-knit group of college friends reconnects and discovers that love hasn't gotten easier with age."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 1): 24%
What critics said:"The show's biggest crime is that it overestimates its audience's tolerance for watching people screw up."— Sophie Gilbert, The Atlantic
7. "Cosmos" (Fox)
Season 3 ("Possible Worlds") premieres March 3.
Description:"Continuing the legacy of its predecessors, COSMOS: POSSIBLE WORLDS will translate the revelations of science into a lavishly transporting experience, taking audiences on a series of spiritual voyages of exploration."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 2 — "A Spacetime Odyssey"): N/A
What critics said:"Tonally the show strikes just the right balance between education and inspiration. The science explored in the opening episode isn’t anything teenaged astronomy fans wouldn’t already be aware of, but the show doesn’t talk down to the viewer. That said, those already familiar with the antics of Dr. Tyson may feel like they’re getting a watered-down version of the real thing."— Bryan Bishop, The Verge
6. "The Blacklist" (NBC)
Season 6 premieres January 3.
Description:"Following the startling revelation that Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) isn't who he says he is, Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) is torn between the relationship she's developed with the man assumed to be her father and her desire to get to the bottom of years of secrets and lies."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 5): 100%
What critics said:"The Blacklist has returned for its 5th season, and finally, the paternal cat is out of the convoluted, hole-riddled, sphinx-guarded parentage-bag...and everything is surprisingly chummy post-reveal!"— Jodi Walker, Entertainment Weekly
