Ah, the August doldrums. When people go outside, relax, hit the beach and… Just kidding, there was still a ton of new TV on this month, including premieres, continuing series, ending series, and more. And with the siren call of the beach mixing with the equally loud call of new television series, it might have been difficult to figure out what to watch, and when to watch it.
Don’t worry, we watched a lot of TV this month here at Decider, so you didn’t have to, and the staff’s pale skin and sickly demeanor can attest to that. And as usual, we broke down the best of the best, breaking out 12 TV shows well worth your time. That includes the most recent season of Netflix’s wrestling comedy GLOW, which took the gang to Vegas; the return of the David Fincher produced serial killer drama Mindhunter; and Danny McBride’s latest, uncategorizable show for HBO, The Righteous Gemstones.
Here’s our methodology: each member of the staff submits their top five shows of the month, based on TV shows that either aired in full, or at least one episode during August. Those are weighted, and then culled together. If there are ties, there’s a runoff in order to re-rank the list. Then we publish it and you read it, but you figured out that part.
