Plenty of great TV shows premiered in 2016. But you won’t find any of them here. Click on to recall — for one last time — the year’s most-likely-to-be-forgotten bombs, clinkers and stinkers (in alphabetical order).
“Damien” (A&E)
The proud holder of an 11 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this TV adaptation of the horror movie franchise drew perhaps the most chillingly awful reviews of the year. “Ludicrous” was among the kinder summaries.
“Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency” (BBC America)
A major disappointment, considering the pedigree (Netflix/BBC co-production of a Douglas Adams novel series, with Elijah Wood costarring).
