Something I realized reading through The New York Times list, while it is mostly unranked, Poniewozik specified that he broke his normal alphabetical listing and that Reservation Dogs was his pick for best show of the year. Everything else on the list is unranked.

The Apple gang (Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Black Bird);

It’s going to be really interesting to see if it gets into new series at WGA.

Happy with Chucky mentioned by TVLine (the series is great if you accept the craziness of the franchise).

Episode 4 of this season was such a ridiculously entertaining hour of television. Definitely one of the highlights of the year for me. Jennifer Tilly can do no wrong. Episode 7 was also just fanservice galore for any long-time fan. The amount of times I giggled just at the thought of all these characters from over decades being together. Still though, the star of the season might just be Good Chucky for me. What a fun plotline.

I watched a few episodes the other day and it’s so fun.

It should be in comedy though.

This is an aside, but does anyone know if there’s going to be a Critic’s Choice Super awards this year?
