Another year, another list. Honorable mentions: Sense8 (RIP), You Me Her (Good smut), Brooklyn 99 (Still funny). ____________________________________________________________________________________ 10 Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt “Women really can be anything except president and late night hosts.” Season 3 and Kimmy Schmidt is still funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwiVPkwY2ZE ____________________________________________________________________________________ 9 Glow "Sometimes you have to trick yourself into having a good time. Just pretend you’re having the best time in the world, and then maybe you will." Gorgeous ladies of Wrestling oh yeah! Nice Netflix show about 80:s wrestling promotion. Alison brie is awesome. Wrestling is awesome. the 80:s was awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZqDO6cTYVY ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8 American Gods "You work for me now. You protect me. You transport me from place to place. You run errands. In an emergency, but only in an emergency, you hurt people who need to be hurt. In the unlikely event of my death, you will hold my vigil. And in return I shall make sure that your needs are adequately taken care of." Based on book by Neil Gaiman, it's a show about American mythology and mix of tales from around the world and how they arrived to the new world. It's also about Ian McShane chewing scenery and being mysterious. Also about Gay efreet, a deadwife and the worlds most unluckiest leprachaun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBkoG-8E-2w ____________________________________________________________________________________ 7 Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events "I should think at least a fraction of your unhappiness will turn to excitement when you meet this man. I know he's certainly very eager to meet you. And he's employed as an actor, so you know his excitement is genuine. His name is Count Olaf." Another series based on books. Very sad sad tale about 2 orphans, their misfortunes and multitude of inept/insane legal guardians they must endure/survive. Neil Patrick Harris really hams it up as Count Olaf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tup-5yOcJuM ____________________________________________________________________________________ 6 The Good Place "I've only ever said, “I love you” to two people. Stone Cold Steve Austin, and a guy in a dark club who I mistook for Stone Cold Steve Austin" People living happy afterlives after a life of selflessness, except they're all miserable up there and none of them actually deserved to be in a good place. Hijinks ensued. Now on season 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDnO4nDA3kM ____________________________________________________________________________________ 5 Blue planet 2 “It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.” Another BBC nature documentary by David Attenborough. This he returns to the Oceans ecosystem, where his soothing voice and insightful commentary brings the cinematography even more alive. Lot of good moneyshots as usual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgNKnljfuYY ____________________________________________________________________________________ 4 Crazy ex-Girlfriend I'm going to mail him my poop but pretend it is cupcakes. This musical series is on its 3rd season and still going strong. Last season she got dumped on altar for Jesus and now she is on warpath. Quality stuff and quality music numbers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEhTmETAt9A ____________________________________________________________________________________ 3 Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency "Did I make some mistakes? Yes. Did I only make mistakes? …Yes. But did it all work out? Kind of!" The show is about Dirk Gently and his holistic mystery solving. Last season they solved a mystery of Shark Attack in a top-floor hotel room. This season the mission is simple. "Find the boy." No other clues, but that's ok, because holistic detecting is not about clues or logic. It's about poo poo happening until you solve the mystery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBk6BHGcD68 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 2 Legion It's sweet, really. They think they can save you." It's a superhero story set in faux-70's. It's an artsy take on a mentally ill mutant Legion and his struggles with his own mind, powers and secret government organization. This show is simply beautiful, artistic and just plain weird. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDYCXjZq4nY ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1 The Orville "My God, we gotta get better people." My favourite show of the year. It's a modern take on classic the next generation era Star Trek, by the showrunner Seth MacFarlane. It's an optimistic, inspirational and funny show about a better future. a Future where Midclass ship USS Orville is crewed by average people doing their best and having hour long scifi adventures in spirit of Star Trek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaVLnWSZY5A ____________________________________________________________________________________ Compared to last year I have 6 new shows, 3 returning show that all are ranked worse and yet another David attenborough serial.

I just made a list and was ready to edit it, if Doctor Who Christmas special was any good. It wasn't. It's always fun to see what great shows I should try. Last years haul was the Good Place and Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency.

So what happened with Black Mirror? The voting period was extended for it, but no one hasn't voted for it yet.

TLDR, but Tin Star is your no.1 show of the year? Bold choice.

Jerusalem posted:Also I loved The Orville a lot but holy gently caress it beat The Deuce? More importantly The Orville beat other grittier Space Scifi shows. With optimism and jokes.
