We Got This Covered’s Top 10 TV Shows Of 2016

Each and every year, television just gets better and better. At least, that's how it seems. With the rise of subscription-based streaming services like Netflix and bigger budgets being afforded to TV shows, we're seeing some truly tremendous work being done on the small screen. It used to be that A-list stars turned their nose up at the medium, but in 2016 we've seen talent like Sir Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hardy, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey and many more all grace our screens.

In the first season of American Crime Story, FX’s true crime anthology series, creators Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski splendidly recreate the transfixing inner workings and notorious televised spectacle that was the O.J. Simpson murder trial. The series received a staggering twenty-two Primetime Emmy Award nominations and won nine, three of which went to members of the cast (Sarah Paulson, Sterling K. Brown, and Courtney B. Vance) who, as a whole, were recognized for their efforts a total of six times in three acting categories.

The People V O.J. Simpson combined strikingly authentic performances, both in caliber and appearances, and intense, harsh, impassioned writing to deliver a topical, highly watchable hour of television. The work of the program’s three Emmy winners for acting, Paulson, Brown and Vance, should unquestionably be enough to shoot The People V O.J. Simpson to the top of anyone’s must-watch list. Not to mention the fact that it’s also a showcase for industry vets John Travolta and Nathan Lane.
