12 Worst TV Shows Of 2017 (So Far)

4. Training Day

Yet another depressingly toothless attempt to bring a classic movie to the big screen, Training Day is an unfortunate footnote in the late Bill Paxton's career. Though not aggressively awful by any means, there was absolutely nothing to distinguish this miserable, dull cop procedural slog from its genre brethren.

The visceral qualities and moral ambiguity of the 2001 film are largely jettisoned in this stamina-drainingly simplistic, underwritten long-form version.

Paxton fans might want to check out an episode or two, and of course he's the best thing in it, but it shouldn't surprise anyone that CBS binned it after a single season.
