- CreatorVince GilliganPeter GouldStarsBob OdenkirkRhea SeehornJonathan BanksThe trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer Jimmy McGill in the years leading up to his fateful run-in with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.While not it's strongest season, season 6 capped off this masterpiece of a show in the most satisfying way possible and cemented the show's place in TV history as one of the greatest of all time.
- CreatorRyan J. CondalGeorge R.R. MartinStarsMatt SmithEmma D'ArcyOlivia CookeAn internal succession war within House Targaryen at the height of its power, 172 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen.A show that manages to crawl out of the enormous shadow of its predecessor, combining great visuals, great characters, superb acting and wonderful political intrigue. Season 2 can't come any sooner.
- CreatorTony GilroyStarsDiego LunaKyle SollerStellan SkarsgårdPrequel series to Star Wars' 'Rogue One'. In an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue, Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a Rebel hero.After the previous Star Wars TV stinkers, Andor turned out to be the biggest surprise of the year. Slow-paced, deliberate and gorgeously shot, this show is the best Star Wars has gotten since Rogue One.
- StarsJessie James GrelleBryce PapenbrookTrina NishimuraAfter his hometown is destroyed and is traumatized, young Eren Jaeger vows to cleanse the earth of the giant humanoid Titans that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction.Season 4 Part 2 might be peak AOT, with arguably the most haunting and critical moment of the whole show taking place, alongside riveting characters and plot twists.
- CreatorJosh HealdJon HurwitzHayden SchlossbergStarsRalph MacchioWilliam ZabkaCourtney HenggelerDecades after their 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament bout, a middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence find themselves martial-arts rivals again.Cobra Kai never fails to entertain, and its 5th season might be its best since season 1. The action is at its peak, and the characters are still superb.
- CreatorJames GunnStarsJohn CenaDanielle BrooksFreddie StromaPicking up where The Suicide Squad (2021) left off, Peacemaker returns home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport - only to discover that his freedom comes at a price.Such a fun series, and John Cena was one hell of a surprise. I did not expect to have this much fun with a show. The comedy is excellently balanced with drama and the action is superb.
- CreatorMatt DufferRoss DufferStarsMillie Bobby BrownFinn WolfhardWinona RyderWhen a young boy vanishes, a small town uncovers a mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one strange little girl.Another major surprise of the year was Stranger Things' return to form with its 4th season. Adopting a darker tone, adding a new mystery to be solved with some improved character-work, this season makes me excited for season 5.
- CreatorAlfred GoughMiles MillarStarsJenna OrtegaHunter DoohanEmma MyersFollows Wednesday Addams' years as a student, when she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a killing spree, and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents.Certainly better than expected. This show is at its best with (most of) its characters. It's shot well, well-acted and the score is pretty good. The main plot is mostly bland and predictable, but the characters make it a lot of fun.
- CreatorJack ThorneStarsDafne KeenKit ConnorRuth WilsonA young girl is destined to liberate her world from the grip of the Magisterium which represses people's ties to magic and their animal spirits known as daemons.His Dark Materials finishes with its weakest season with a good climax and conclusion for Asriel and Marisa but a boring, but mostly satisfying, ending for Will and Lyra, who had very little to do this season.
- CreatorDoug MoenchStarsOscar IsaacEthan HawkeMay CalamawySteven Grant discovers he's been granted the powers of an Egyptian moon god. But he soon finds out that these newfound powers can be both a blessing and a curse to his troubled life.This show had so much potential. The mystery is well-built, the acting is pretty good and the characters compelling. It is just a shame the finale rushes through all the pay-off and potentially ruins the whole thing.
- CreatorSydney NewmanStarsJodie WhittakerPeter CapaldiPearl MackieThe further adventures in time and space of the alien adventurer known as the Doctor and his companions from planet Earth.Whittaker's farewell specials all carry the same problems as the rest of the Chibnall era. Eve of the Daleks is serviceable, Legend of the Sea Devils is possibly the worst DW episode I have ever seen and Power of the Doctor is a messy farewell to the era.
- CreatorJon FavreauStarsTemuera MorrisonMing-Na WenFrank TriggBounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigate the underworld when they return to Tatooine to claim Jabba the Hutt's old turf.My personal biggest disappointment of the year. What could've been an interesting show about Boba Fett becoming a badass crime boss is disneyfied into something dull and boring with Boba Fett almost feeling like a complete afterthought in his own show.
- StarsEwan McGregorMoses IngramVivien Lyra BlairJedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi must save young Leia after she is kidnapped, all the while being pursued by Imperial Inquisitors and his former Padawan now known as Darth Vader.Wow, this was bad. A complete disregard for characters and canon, with minimal effort placed into the writing, effects and cinematography. Obi-Wan deserved better but this show is nothing more than a cheap-looking cash grab.
