To me, "bad TV" is a show with any combination of bad acting or bad writing, TBH. I also tend to avoid shows that haven't completed their runs, because a lot of shows get cancelled before they get a chance to conclude properly. I honestly just check the IMDb rating and the trailer and if the rating is above 7.0 or so then it's probably not bad. Unless the fanbase is huge, sometimes the score is inflated.

Sometimes I will find shows by looking at which programs got Emmys over the past few years but that's not the most efficient way to find new shows IMHO
