I’m completely biased, but I believe (as it wasn’t even included in the honorable mentions) they literally forgot My Brilliant Friend, as they gave it the some of the highest grades when it aired. Oh well, too bad for them. Also, the fact that they put Better Things on top makes me indulgent.
ReplyCopy URLNot exactly a top 10 yet but the Boston Globe did their “highlights” of the year on television:
– Gillian Anderson (Sex Education/The Crown)
– The Queen’s Gambit
– What We Do in the Shadows
– Schitt’s Creek
– The Good Place
– P-Valley
– Ted Lassohttps://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/11/19/arts/what-this-tv-critic-is-thankful-2020/
Interesting to see so many Ted Lasso mentions. It got average reviews from critics (I say this as someone who recently binged and loved the show).

The flavour and the range
Last year there was a clear top 3: Succession, Fleabag, and Watchmen. I don’t think we’ll have such dominant this year, but I don’t think you’ll see many lists that I May Destroy You, Better Call Saul, and Better Things miss.
Agree. Right now thinking the top five will be the aforementioned three with a combination of P-Valley, Pen15, Schitt’s Creek & The Queen’s Gambit rounding out the top 5.
(I Hate Suzie too if enough have seen it)
ReplyCopy URLI’m always excited about these year end lists. Probably I May Destroy You is winning this time.

Why were you expecting it to make all of the lists? It wasn’t a critics-driven show.
It’s one of the most acclaimed (and widely seen) shows of the year and critics were raving about it.

It was actually under-reviewed. Not many critics picked it up when it dropped. For example, it only has 11 reviews on Metacritic in comparison to something like Mrs America’s 42 reviews. Then it completely blanked at TCA. These were clear indicators that it probably wouldn’t do well on year end lists. It was a word of mouth hit with Netflix audiences, but it was never something that critics really got behind.
