The Television Critics Association’s summer press tour, currently underway in Los Angeles, often serves as a helpful litmus test for the networks and the streamers that produce the medium’s best programming. The TCA tours—which happen twice a year—congregate the biggest networks and the critics and reporters that cover them into one place. It’s mutually beneficial: the press get access to the minds behind the programming they cover, and the networks in turn can use any (positive) press to churn the hype machine for the programs that merit it. As a result, the TCA summer tour also offers a window into what direction our Peak TV tastemakers might be headed, for better or worse. Everyone—your HBOs, Netflixes, and Amazons—wants eyeballs, but the sheer glut of options available for consumers makes sticking out of the pack trickier than ever. Below is a handy guide for assessing how the biggest networks and streamers are positioning themselves for 2018 and beyond.
