Television in 2020
Television. I watch way more of it than I should, but television has really entered an amazing age with the advent of streaming. I almost always gravitate to series and limited-series over movies anymore, so at the end of each year I like to read the various best-of lists that popup online and based on those I do a quick list myself. So, without further ado, here are the television shows of 2020 that I watched this year in rough order from most to least favorite:
- Ted Lasso
- The Queen's Gambit
- The Mandalorian
- Schitt's Creek
- The Expanse
- Perry Mason
- The Outsider
- Altered Carbon
- The Good Place
- Tales from the Loop
- Raised by Wolves
- Upload
This list doesn't include some shows I watched this year after skipping out on them when they first aired, such as The Leftovers and The Americans. (I might need to do a separate list of my favorite shows of the decade.)
The following are shows I started, but couldn't get into despite them getting good end of year reviews:
- Lovecraft Country
- BoJack Horseman
Along with those two above, I might catch up on these series that I missed this year in the coming year because that caught my eye as I saw them pop up on more than one list this year:
- I’ll Be Gone In The Dark
- Better Things
- Better Call Saul
- The Good Lord Bird
- Mrs. America
- Normal People
- What We Do in the Shadows
- Kingdom
- The Crown
- The Great
- Ramy
- The Plot Against America
- Narcos
- ZeroZeroZero
- Ozark
- Fargo
- Devs
- The Third Day
- How to With John Wilson
- I May Destroy You
