"Negotiations were going well. They were very impressed by my hat." -Issaries the Concilliator"
Collecting this years top 10 list, I faced dilemma of not having watched that many new shows.
While reading on OP, I realized I just hadn't bothered watching new seasons of like dozen series
that I liked last year. I eventually figured out the reason for lack of my tv-watching.
The reason will be high on the list.

My top 10:

10 Arrested development season 5


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXg2_yExgVY

Not as funny or original as the first few seasons, but still makes me consistently laugh.


9. The Chilling adventures of Sabrina


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybKUX6thF8Q

Surprise show from the makers of Riverdale. Teen horror is my weak spot and
Sabrinas adventures tickle me from all the right spots. It's funny and "scary" at the same time.


8. The toys that made us


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iABClQiLUuc

Documentary about how corporations ruined our childhoods... I mean made toys that disappointed us.
Featured toy-lines this season are Hello Kitty, Star Trek, Transformers and Legos. Of those,
Legos were and still are legitimately awesome. Hello Kitty is cool, but not my cup of tea.
And Star Trek... You'll have to see the episode yourself to really understand how horrible the toy companies are.


7. Jessica Jones


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5EJzh60_z0

Unlike the goonsensus, I actually liked Jessica Jones and her mommy issues this season.
a Fun little season that doesn't reach the highs of season 1, but none of the netflix Marvel series do.
I'm happy to see season 3 next year, but I'm also happy that they're all cancelled.
12+ seasons in couple years was way too much.


6 .Altered Carbon


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-X7DPAPmzQ

Nice gritty vision of the future. I liked the contrast between the upper class towers and the main city.
Also features my favourite AI character of all time.


5. My next guest need no introduction with David Letterman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aIuWcT-O_M

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a12nTEcoqE

a Talk show featuring David Letterman and long-form interviews. What's different from regular talk shows,
is that there is no other filler. Only an in-depth interview with a guest, that isn't schilling their latest movie, book or series.
Guest list is top quality: President Obama, George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai and others.


4. Dynasties


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XvWaU4Oouk

Latest nature documentary from BBC and Sir David Attenborough. The man is 92 year old,
but still casts exciting nature documentaries every year. The focus of this documentary is
5 animal families and their "Dynasty". Featuring Chimpanzees, Lions, Tigers, Emperor Penguins
and Painted wolves.

This is much more personal scale documentary than we're accustomed to.
For example first 1 hour episode focuses on Chimpanzee family led by an older alpha male David
and the power struggle with younger males for dominance.


3. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0QIw3Sb4nA

You have all heard the catchphrase, so I don't need to urge you to look away. There's only tragedy
and misery in this show and there's no hope for happy ending in this tale of misery.
Neil Patrick Harris performance as Count Olaf is deadly funny, both metaphorically and literally.


2. Jayne @ https://www.twitch.tv/jayne

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi0AfXzxMEY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_JXygpBvHA

And here's the biggest reason, why I haven't watched that much television this year.
Twitch has variety of content that has tickled my fancy and interactivity that the platform enables,
gives it an addicting quality.

Jayne isn't the only streamer I follow, but his videos are big reason, why I'm still playing and following Overwatch.
Yes, he is a game streamer, but his his specialty isn't playing the game. His focus is on gameplay coaching,
educational streaming and community building.

To list some things he does on stream: He reviews viewers gameplay videos, analyses pro-matches and coaches semi-pro teams.
On community building side he organizes (with others) Tournaments and pick-up games for people of all skill levels, from beginner players to semi-pros.


1. The Orville

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrADPsg9MaQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yWEVMbb4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl37s46_ahI

Yeah, I know that it won't air until 30.12, but based on trailers alone, I'm placing it #1 show of the year. (Sue me).
In unlikely event of it flopping hard, I might change the order.

The Orville is the feel good Star Trek show on the television. I can't wait for the first episode of the season.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOHDnxgmhxc
Oh the last one is just some weirdo that has made like
zillion Orville videos during the season break. Just ignore him.
(Seriously he makes like 15 minute shows about 10 second of new footage.)


Honorable mentions of shows, I totally forgot continue to watch this season:

Glow
Legends of tomorrow
Travelers
Riverdale
Crazy ex-girlfriend.
Legion
The Good place
Ducktales 2017
Sense8 special
Lucifer

Don't keep us in suspense. What can beat Steven Universe in gayness?

I started to watch Ash vs. Evil Dead and by all accounts it should be trash.

It is, but its also best series ever!

I was so tempted to add Ash vs. Evil Dead to my list, but I don't have time to see latest season before deadline. Oh well.

In other news, The Orville is probably the best series of all time.
Definitely the gayest space show by far.
