Looten Plunder posted:Countdown won't be happening on the 2nd so if there are any late lists that need to be posted - you can probably still sneak it in. I ended up falling asleep then worked all day and totally forgot to post my list! But, just for fun, here’s mine even if it doesn’t count to the tally: 10. Silo This was surprisingly fun! 9. Rick and Morty Turns out Roiland didn’t add very much! 8. Loki It’s like Doctor Who for Americans! 7. Doctor Who It’s Doctor Who! 6. The Bear This show made me want to run a French Kitchen and yell a lot then I got back to work and realized I’m more of a Bob Ross type. Show’s still good! 5. Foundation Doesn’t really have anything to do with the books. After season one I was basically like “I hope season two has more Naked Lee Pace” and boy howdy did this show deliver! 4. Star Trek Strange New Worlds It’s Star Trek! I still find the Millennial Awkward Banter off putting, though. 3. One Piece Surprisingly fun and charming. Reminded me of the vibe of family shows like Merlin. Netflix finally made a good adaptation! 2. The Last of Us Like zombies, the genre came back for one last go. Despite knowing the plot, this season had some surprising and poignant moments. Craig Mazin continues to hit home runs! 1. Attack on Titan ”Genocide is always wrong.” One of those rare shows that sticks the landings. The message is clear in both the text and the subtext. People accused this show of many things, in bad faith, but the show stayed true to its core narrative and message: that war ruins us all, but especially our children. A must watch.

Alrighty! Let's do this people! Didn't have time for a fancy intro, but some really good shows this year, strikes be damned! We'll see what hangover effect the strikes have on 2024, as well as some tightening of the purse strings for every company not named Apple and Netflix. But let's not worry about 2024, we're here to celbrate 2023! Without further ado - The preliminary results:

Next, we have another 3-way ties between a new propery, a reboot of a beloved show and a new series from a modern day auteur.Hakkesshu posted:Someone in the show thread said that watching the Curse is like watching a horror movie where the monsters are the main characters but the scariest thing about them is how much they suck, which I think is a great encapsulation of what the show is about. Hope it ends well!  24. The Curse (Showtime) NEW ENTRY 20 Points, 3 Nominations Escobarbarian posted:Over the years, we've had a trillion TV revivals. We've had ones that were terrible, ones that were admirable but overall tepid, ones that did something totally different, but very rarely if ever do you get one where it feels like no time has passed in between and the show remains the exact same as before. Thankfully, that's exactly what happened with this unbelievably great revival!  24. Party Down (Hulu) NEW ENTRY 20 Points, 4 Nominations Ishamael posted:Throughout this show I kept asking myself, "is this genius? Or is it just weird?" after seeing the resolution to the season I think it is much more on the genius end of the spectrum, but you can't deny the weird.  24.
