TheLeon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I’m kinda in the tank for Hailee Steinfeld, so it’s weird that I haven’t watched Dickinson yet. And kinda weird to list a comedy special as a series, but whatever. I think Only Murders in the Building deserves an honorable mention. It’s a reunion of the Three Amigos, but since nobody wants to work with Chevy Chase, they went with the most logical replacement: Selena Gomez. It’s kinda falls in the “cozy mystery” sub genre, where there’s death and twists and all of that, but it’s never really trying to be all that suspenseful. It’s funny and charming.

I am surprised at just how much it sucks tbh. Like, I expected it to be somewhere in the middle. But it sucks. 1 hour ago, TheLeon said: Here's another list from BFI's Sight and Sound.

Spork3245 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The “flawed but fascinating” list “Kevin Can Go Fuck Himself” - highly underrated and easily missed. Great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I know the line between TV and movies is blurring more and more, but why would Inside be considered a TV show? I suppose it's a film that didn't get a theatrical release, but that goes for plenty of streaming only movies that no one would ever consider a "TV Show." Classification aside, I loved Inside, and the more recognition, the better. Hell, give it a JD Power award for best mid-size car. I know a lot of people thought this season wasn't as good, but Ted Lasso remains one of my favorites. Arcane should probably be on every list, even if it's not a genre that gets picked by newspaper critics. Another show with a very specific audience that I think really came into it's own this year was Lower Decks. It's crazy and fun and it's doing a surprisingly good job of building characters that I care about. Mostly though, it's just a love letter to Star Trek. It finds just the right tone to skewer Trek silliness while still being a good Trek show itself. If you love Trek, it's an easy recommendation.

TheLeon Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 MORE LISTS! Get mad!Time Variety (2 separate top 10s) Vanity Fair Indiewire Indiewire (focuses on new series that either have been or could be renewed for another season) If these lists are good for anything, it’s reminding me of a lot of stuff I meant to watch and/or keep watching. I’ve watched one or two episodes of Hacks, Reservation Dogs, The White Lotus, The Great, Invincible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Reservation Dogs is the best show of 2021 - EVERYONE should watch it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 White Lotus was not great with a less than satisfying ending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
