[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8915070, member: 7023840"] I'm going to go off the beaten track, well, partially, for my 2022 list. [U]This won't include the usual geeky shows we all spend so much time obsessing over.[/U] So even though I loved Andor and Peacemaker and Ms. Marvel and Strange New Worlds (as did my couch mate SNARFZODIACKILLER!!!!!), they won't be considered. Also? I don't think I watched much that was bad this past year ... life is too short for bad. So ... the good stuff. [U]TV SHOWS (10)[/U] [B]The Bear.[/B] I didn't believe the hype. And then I finally got around to watching it on Hulu. If you've ever worked in, or near, a kitchen ... well, you'll feel this. Just an absolute banger of a first season. [B]Severance.[/B] I wrote a thread about this when it first came out (the best show no one is watching) and, eventually, people started watching it. It so perfectly captures the disquieting anomie in the modern workplace, but also the little ties that bind people together. [B]The Rehearsal.[/B] There is little I can say about this that hasn't been said. Either you think Nathan Fiedler is a creative genius, or you hate every moment of this. I fall in the first camp, and remain stunned that anything so brilliant and so strange made it TV. [B]The White Lotus.[/B] Who says camp can't also be incredibly thought-provoking? Besides, you've seen my avatar. [B]Irma Vep.[/B] Does the TV show comment on the movie, or on the TV show, or the original Irma Vep, or on the life of the creative people behind it? Yes. [B]Hacks.[/B] Season 2 somehow managed to build on what was a perfect Season 1. [B]Barry.[/B] I put this here because, as TV shows go on in time, people start to lose interest. Don't lose interest in this one. What started as a comedy with dark moments became a dark comedy and is now ... well, it's dark. But still anchored by absolutely brilliant performances. [B]Station Eleven.[/B] Given the recent pandemic, it was a tough watch at times ... but it was also so very good. [B]WeCrashed/Dropout.[/B] Both shows say a lot about modern capitalism ... none of it very flattering. [B]What We Do In Shadows.[/B] It's funny. [I]Note- There are several shows that are likely going to be on the list, like We Own This City, but I haven't seen them yet.[/I] [/QUOTE]
