What critics said (Season 9): "Archer remains the same terrific spoof it’s always been, even as it shifts from a spy satire to a jokey, adventure homage." — Ben Travers, Indiewire

Cate Cameron/The CW
Description: "Olivia ‘Liv’ Moore was a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident who had her life path completely mapped out…until the night she attended a party that unexpectedly turned into a zombie feeding frenzy. As one of the newly undead, Liv is doing her best to blend in and look as human as possible."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 4): 92%
What critics said (Season 4): "iZombie has found success by taking daring leaps of faith before, and even if this storyline doesn’t ultimately come together in the long run, a few mistakes likely won’t hurt a show that’s as reliable as iZombie has proven itself to be." — Kaitlin Thomas, TV Guide
3. "Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." (Season 6) — ABC, May 10
ABC
Description: "After Agent Coulson and the team escaped the Framework and awakened back in the real world, they battled L.M.D. (Life Model Decoy) AIDA who had become fully human – and given herself multiple Inhuman abilities. After defeating AIDA with the help of Ghost Rider, the team went to a diner to celebrate but were interrupted by a mysterious man who rendered them frozen. Later, Coulson woke up onboard a station … in space.
"Coulson will discover that some, but not all, of his S.H.I.E.L.D. colleagues were taken with him and placed onboard a space station. As they come into contact with the vessel’s inhabitants, it becomes abundantly clear that something has gone terribly awry. The team must figure out their role, delving deeper into this nightmarish mystery to try to right what has gone incredibly wrong."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score Season 5): 100%
What critics said (Season 5): "Instead of wondering what might have been, for now at least the show did what it’s done best as it’s grown beyond its roots as an MCU tie-in to an excellent series in its own right." — James Whitbrook, io9
