[Ocha905]

1. We Own This City
2. The Rehearsal
3. The Bear

That’s all I saw from 2022. All were great though.

Prefer watching shows that have been completed so I know they don’t turn to s**t.

Edit: oh and Better Call Saul which I'd put 3rd and Stranger Things in 4th.

1. Better Call Saul- for those that stayed the journey after its commencement did not meet the pace of BB, the pay off came with a final season of excellent performances, cinematography and story telling.

2. Andor- a grown up Star Wars with the episode of the guerilla attack to steal the $$ one of the most tense episodes of the year in tv, through to the heart break of the great escape.

3. Dhamer- who would have thought this tv with its macabre storyline could emotionally move us to the extent that it? The opening episode edge of your seat through to wishing against hope that you know who would not renter the Apartment.

4. House of Dragon- another prequel suffering big sister comparisons in the early episodes, with the final three delivering a perfect entry point to the next bloody seasons.

5. Colin from Accounts - don’t let the title put you off. An Australian romance comedy that has two likeable leads and supporting cast. Some genuine laughs throughout this sleeper.

Honourable mention-

Hard to leave out Stranger Things. The episode that saw Kate Bush make millions was unexpectedly emotionally challenging and the talk of water coolers when people caught up with it.

There's a lot shows I'm yet to see which I'm sure would make the list, so only going by what I've seen in no specific order;

Ozark - Season 4, Incredibly good acting, having young characters played by people who can act well makes a big difference for me, and the amount of awards for this show speaks for itself. Strong finish to the series.

Severance - Didn't slow down where other shows can. Unique storyline, well executed, good build-up to the finale, this was the show I found the hardest not to binge episodes.

Black Bird - Mini series, based on a true story which makes it all the more intriguing. Great acting and has that darkness to it which is incredibly captivating.

Better Call Saul - Season 6, Probably the most anticipated show of the year. Already had such a high bar in all areas and the final season didn't disappoint.

House of The Dragon - If you've seen GoT then this must've tickled your fancy. The visuals, dragons, the acting (again the young actors actually being decent makes a big difference), and a show that's not afraid to kill off significant characters gets my tick of approval.

I watched The Bear but I don't understand the hype around it?

By no means was it terrible, but I don't see why people are constantly raving about it?

 

[DEVO]

I started about a dozen shows but was only able to sit through two till the end.

1. Reacher
2. Legacy: The True Stories of the LA Lakers

I get that. After the first episode I thought “that was neat, but eh”.

I don’t think it’s a masterpiece and I don’t think anything about it is totally original. But across the entire season, I got fully caught up in the story, of wanting to see the shitty restaurant become a success, and of wanting this prodigy to get his s**t together. I also liked some of the supporting characters which helped.

Then you throw in the extended takes throughout and the manic score going on in the background, and the occasional food pr0n.

I finished watching and felt like I’d had a different viewing experience, that I’d followed a story I wanted to, and enjoyed some of the filmmaking aspects.

I understand when people have said to me that they don’t like it; I don’t think it’s one of those shows that is objectively good (eg True Detective season 1), but I really enjoyed it.

 

[No Quarter]

The Bear would have to be my number 1.

Stranger Things S4 was epic too!

Succession S3

Superpumped

Actually hard to rate.. some good content out there.

 

[Gasometer]

Abbott Elementary?

Watched the pilot and thought it was cringey but it’s getting rave reviews/credits

Why should I persist?

I really enjoy it; I think it’s pretty underrated.

It’s more SuperStore than The Office, but it’s entertaining.

1. Better Call Saul
2. From (I harp on about it but people here need to get on this)

Super Pumped
Stranger Things
The Bear
Only Murders in the Building
Winning Time (not sure if this falls into the cut off for this year but saw it this year)
War of the Worlds Season 3

Disappointments:
Ozark, loved every season, the ending disappointed
We Own This City, watched it on a lot of plane trips, didn't amaze me.
