they didn't have to start this year, but definitely have had to air a season sometime during 2019

my top five in no particular order would be:

  • succession (and i would go so far to say the best series this year)
  • fleabag (one of the best comedies on TV recently, definitely up there with veep and barry)
  • watchmen (the most densely packed series i've watched, and a great take on a solid comic)
  • big mouth
  • the dragon prince
a big shout out goes to the mandalorian, although hasn't finished yet and one of few things that star wars has nailed in the disney era

Man im actually struggling with this a bit. Have def dropped the ball on TV shows a bit this year.

I think the shows that immediately comes to mind are:
Watchmen
Barry (I haven't even finished this!)
Sex Education

I liked the good place this year a lot but think it suffers a bit from an end of year pov by being a fourth season rather than something fresh. I also liked the end of the fucking world a lot but think s1 was better and for some reason in my head I think it and sex ed are too similar to both make a top 5

HM: Euphoria, What We Do In The Shadows, This Is Us, You're The Worst, The Righteous Gemstones, Veep

I haven't gotten around the Mrs. Maisel yet. That should make my top 5

i liked the first two seasons of the good place, but wasn't too fond of the rest. i think i stopped watching half way through S3. although i did binge watch it so maybe i needed a break

i've not seen the second season of the end of the fucking world but absolutely loved the first

dude you should watch fleabag, i think you'll enjoy it

fuckkk i can't believe i forgot about euphoria. i might have to replace that with the dragon prince. euphoria is definitely one of the best shows i've watched this year. chernobyl is up there as well

i love that you mentioned you're the worst as well. i'm slowly watching that show and it hits me real hard sometimes. it's as niche and great as happy endings on abc imo

great shout, nice to see some british shows getting appreciated

a bit on the depressing side seeing as it's probably accurate in how the 2020's will be

Watchmen seemed promising in the first few episodes, but it turned out to be nothing but heavy-handed, contrived shit. and the only thing it was densely packed with was meaningless surface-level references to the original graphic novel that were only there so people could say "i understood that reference" and feel good about themselves. it completely missed the mark on anything deeper than that relating to the spirit of the original graphic novel.
it can be very heavy handed, but i wouldn't say it was contrived shit. it's densely packed with ideas about american mass culture, race and superhero-ism in there

i never read the original graphic novel and i still enjoyed it

Hey Parappa what did you think of the dong in Watchmen
it was the most godly dong i've ever seen

you'd def be on your knees worshipping it

No one has mentioned The Deuce. That was a great show.

Shameless has been meh so far, but it's never really been a top show. It's just fun to follow the Gallaghers

I still have to watch Castle Rock, Big Mouth, The Morning Show, End of the Fucking World, The Crown, and The Dragon Prince.

I probably won't bother with Lost In Space. That show was so damn boring. Season 2 of You comes out in 2 days and it is absolutely my guilty pleasure

Surprised no one mentioned True Detective, though it was at the very beginning of the year. Season 3 wasn't on 1's level but I thought Ali and Dorff's performances really boosted it.

Yeah I liked true detective a lot tbh but I feel like I watched it, enjoyed it and moved on.

I really liked Mr robot s1 and s2 but forgot to keep up when s3 started and it seems a bit daunting to try and reacquaint myself with it now. I heard s4 was great though

True Detective was superbly acted, but they just can't reach the highs of season 1. The finale was so underwhelming that I really don't remember what happened

The best thing about Mr. Robot S4 was how big and cinematic everything was. They really went all out and the music was better than ever

Yesterday I found out that Mad Men season 8 is coming next year. How. The. Fuck did I not know this until now??? I'm shaking

the weird thing about mad men is that it feels like something you could spin stories out of indefinitely and yet i am also completely sated by how the show ran and indeed ended and i feel like doubling back on that would betray it somewhat

What would you compare The Morning Show to? Of course the cast looks awesome, but it kinda looks like an Aaron Sorkin show. The finale scored an 8.7 on trakt tv and you just don't see scores like that anymore

its tough to compare it to anything. at times it does feel like it wants to be a sorkin show but the script is p terrible at parts and the characters are kinda lame

you can tell theres a lot of money in the show but it feels hollow at times

i'm surprised its ranked so high tbh
