1. Marvel's "Inhumans" — ABC
"Inhumans" shockingly beats "Iron Fist" as the worst Marvel adaptation ever. And that includes all of the "Fantastic Four" movies. Despite a huge budget, the production looks cheap, from set to costumes to hair and makeup. The story is boring, clunky, and just as stupid as all of its one-dimensional characters. The good-for-nothing dialogue also ensures that none of the performances are even halfway-decent, even Iwan Rheon's (Ramsay Bolton from "Game of Thrones"). At least "Iron Fist" looked like a decent show before any of us saw it.
2. "Wisdom of the Crowd" — CBS
Ugh. Don't watch this. "Wisdom of the Crowd," starring Jeremy Piven as Jake Matthews, is trying way too hard to make a crime procedural that's technologically relevant. The storyline, revolving around the murder of Jake's daughter inspires a social network used for crowd-sourcing evidence, is a laughable farce.
3. "The Orville" — FOX
Seth MacFarlane's"The Orville" takes a high concept and applies simple, human-based comedy in a sci-fi world, and it totally doesn't work. It's trying to be a sci-fi satire with a lot of laughs, but falls completely flat.
4. "The Good Doctor" — ABC
This gimmicky ABC drama has a great cast. Freddie Highmore continues to prove he should be taken seriously as an actor, and Richard Schiff is amazing, as always. But the cast can't make this emotionally manipulative drama worthwhile, though it has potential. The show has solid ratings, so it can trust its reliable audience and make the story a little more nuanced, but will it?
5. "Dynasty" — The CW
This reboot isn't nearly as fun as the original because it's trying way too hard in every way. The first shot of the series is of the Trump family. Everyone is overacting, but not in the silly way that made the '80s "Dynasty" so enjoyable. The dialogue tries so hard to be clever that it's condescending. The pilot is filled with exposition — the main character, in voiceover, explains what a dynasty is, as if some people would be too dumb or poor to know. And the show desperately tries to fit in a feminist angle, despite the fact that the plot clearly relies on pitting two women against each other.
6. "Young Sheldon" — CBS
"Young Sheldon" could be good if it wasn't trying so hard. The show has something going for it, especially in Sheldon Cooper's parents and family life, but everything is lost in network comedy cliche. An exhaustive effort to incorporate Sheldon Cooper's personality into the adorable newcomer Iain Armitage — mixed with every cliche you can think of — makes it feel like something you've seen before, but don't need to see again.
