Rogues Portal’s Best TV of 2017

2017 was a bit of a slippery slope for TV. We’ve had things canceled, renewed, hyped, failing and rejuvenated. We’ve been introduced to new concepts of unimaginable storytelling and fascinating characters that we’ve grown to love or hate. 2017 in television has had it’s shared of ups and downs. We’ve got a tone of good bingeing material for it though. 

Rogues Portal’s staff has assembled the best of the best of what they loved in 2017’s year of television. Let us know what you love. Except if it’s Bughead cause Michael likes to tell Insha about that ALL the time.
