What's the best new drama of the 2013-2014 TV season? HuffPost TV rounded up 19 of the top TV critics in the country to share their picks, and seven new shows got a shout-out.
While there was a clear favorite in the Best New Comedy video we posted yesterday, the dramas have us a bit more divided. From a hotly anticipated new cable series to shows in the sci-fi, thriller and comic book genres, there are also some new genres to explore: twisted history and literary time travel revamp.
Watch the video, above, to see which new dramas should be on your must-see list, then check back all week long for more from the critics. We'll be posting a new video each day this week, including picks for Favorite TV Star, Most Anticipated Returning Show and Worst New Show.
