What do you think the role of visual formalism should be in assessing a tv show? I think there are some shows - for example, Hannibal or the Knick - where the innovation on that front is part of what makes the show as good as it is. Conversely, something like the X-Files (which I've always thought of as being aesthetically neutral) doesn't seem to have seen any adverse effect on its standing, or encountered any criticism, for lack of visual dynamism.
