best tv shows of 2020

[henrygandorf 29189]

so i was going to do a top 10, but there are so many, so this is ~10 i really liked, and then the rest that i liked enough to finish and remember for the purpose of this list.

note - this does not include shows i love like "last week tonight", "the circus", and "bob's burgers" (i like pretty much every episode of these).

in no particular order:

 

ted lasso

wayne (technically 2019 but whatever)

the mandalorian s2

schitt's creek final season

the queen's gambit

dave

the last dance

central park

mrs america

ap bio s3

the crown s4

utopia

the right stuff

the comedy store (showtime doc)

 

here are the best of the rest:

hunters, quiz, better call saul s5, good place final season, dead to me s2, bojack horseman final season, the boys s2, the third day, high fidelity, briarpatch, away, perry mason, upload, tiger king, snowpiercer, white lines, little fires everywhere, the undoing, fargo s4, mcmillions, tehran, flight attendant.

i still want to watch "the great" and "alex ryder" and some assorted others.

Ted Lasso has no business being as good as it is.  But it is.  

[Gil Bang 25907]

Big Sky is really good. 

[C-Man 27182]

I stayed up until 3:30 the other morning binging the last three episodes. It’s just oddly satisfying and uplifting.

What We Do in the Shadows is strangely missing from this thread. My favorite show on TV.

that’s on me, still need to watch.

Breeders - hilarious and dark. The grandparents are a riot.

Do three episode mini-series count?  Quiz, about the cheating scandal in Who Wants to be a Milionaire.

[Parliament 14224]

Letterkenny. I know the 2020 season hasn't dropped yet, but still.

[C-Man 27182]

Damn, son. You’ve got to get on that ASAP. I think you’ll love it.

[Loose Stool 112]

+1 for The Outsider.  Excellent show.

For me, Mandalorian S2 was just outstanding.  Top on the list.

Also, the last four episodes of season seven of the Clone Wars was excellent.

Any love for Expanse Season Five?  I know it just started and won't finish until next year so maybe a 2021 entry?

Quiz is excellent.

[Brandywine 1316]

Enjoyed Ted Lasso, The Queen’s Gambit, Mandalorian Season 2, but I loved High Fidelity.

quiz was on my "others receiving votes" list.  i liked it.

i still need to watch breeders.  i did watch "trying" on apple+ and enjoyed it.

I saw lots of hype for The Morning Show with Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon. I have to agree, it was hype. Not my cup of tea. Sorkin's failed HBO show The Newsroom was better.
