For most of us , 2020 sucked. One thing for me that made it more bearable was how many outstanding TV series I watched.

What was your favorite TV series this year? You can include the latest season of ongoing shows.

Here are mine.

!. My Brilliant Friend (HBO)

2. Schitt's Creek - Final season

3. Ozark - 3rd season - Netflix

4. Pen15 - Hulu

5 We are Who we Are - HBO

6. Little Fires Everywhere - Hulu

7. Succession - HBO

8. The Queen's Gambit - Netflix

I actually meant to put just about 3 series, but I kept on thinking "what about this series" and felt I couldn't leave any of these out. There are others I really liked that I didn't include. What a year!

The Mandalorian.

Don't have one. Nothing compelled me that much this year...

Waiting for Manifest to return

"Call me Kat" the American version of "Miranda" is to sitcomy to be good. The trailer looks cheesy.

I think Amy Poehler would have been a better cast for the lead role.

Mandalorian and Stranger Things are the only 2 that interest me so far.

Nice presentation! Interesting this is the third list of severl shows but none of them overlap at all. I did almost include Sex Education.

I think they hired Mayim Bialik hoping Big Bang Theory fans will watch the series.

So did the finalie of TWD.

Good:

Better Call Saul S05

Mandalorian S02

.

i watched the entirety of GOT this year, only to become underwhelmed by the conclusion

i know it just missed the 2020 frame, but S03 of 'Cobra Kai' was tons of fun once again

I imagine TWD is obvious, but I am better at the Prince album song acronyms. So. ?

Schitts Creek by far is my fave of the year. The last season was perfect.

Other honorable mentions:

Succession

Ozark

Good Fight

Cobra Kai (cheesy byt fun!)

Queens Gambit

and one I discovered this year and totally addicted: Shameless.

GOT is game of thrones. TWD is the walking dead.

A bit off topic, but, i just watched the movie 'Dredd' and it afforded me a bit of GOT closure

...and a few more great additions:

(already mentioned, but i watched all 3 seasons in 2020) 'Ozark'!

'Your Honor' technically started last year, but it's getting deeper!

(also aleady mentioned)'The Boys' & 'Watchmen'

I liked Watchman, but it's sad and very dark stories.

This is an interesting comparison. Curious on how that worked. I loved Dredd but then I stan Karl Urban so...

The villain is played by Lena Headey

I never really got around to watching The Sopranos. I always watched it until season 3 or 4 and then had to stop for some reason, so this time, with the pandemic and all, I decided to start with season 1 again and now I´m almost done with season 5 and I love this show. It´s really special...very realistic, lots of pop cultural references, interesting characters, very brutal in a realistic way and it´s also an emotional rollercoaster for me. It´s also interesting to get a closer glimpse into Italian-American life in New Jersey.

And it seems like yesterday but it´s been 20 years already, or 13 if you count from when it ended. It´s strange to see a time before the omnipresent smartphones, or a pre-9/11 America, and to see them peddling stolen DVD players.

That Tony Soprano is a strange character....sometimes I deeply emphathize with him and find him very likeable and the next scene he is a complete asshole.

But that´s part of the charm of this show I guess.

My Top 10 Fav series of the year are

1. Cobra Kai, Season 3

2. The Flight Attendent. Season 1

3. His Dark Materials, Season 2

4. Sneakerheads, Season 1

5. Insecure. Season 4

6. The Manderlorian, Season 2

7. Law & Order: SUV, Season 21

8. Blue Bloods, Season 10

9. Death In Paradise, Season 9

10. The Boys, Season 2

But 2020 is over. For 2021.
