My 2018 list is quite different than my 2017 list. Missing this year due to not airing in 2018 are The Leftovers, Mr. Robot, Master of None, Better Things, Halt & Catch Fire, and Future Man. That is over half of my 2018 list. Plus 2 of my 2017 top 10, Legion and The Handmaid’s Tale I didn't watch this year. Shows That I Didn't Watch This Year, But I Feel Like They Could Have Made My Top 10 If I Did: Legion, The Handmaid's Tale, Killing Eve, Sharp Objects, The Terror Honorable Mentions: The Americans, Insatiable, Cobra Kai Un-Honorable Mention:Westworld 10-Love I almost forgot that the final season aired in 2018. It stuck the landing, and overall I think it was one of the better Netflix series. 9-High Maintenance This show benefited from a binge watch by me of all the HBO seasons this year. Also the post-election episode was just on point (and also that twist at the end was just...wow). 8-Barry Really good and it was a lot darker than it had any right to. I do wonder where the show goes in 2019, because that ending... 7-The Expanse While season 2 was just outside of my top 10 last year, season 3 easily surpassed it. Thank you Amazon for saving the show. 6-The Good Place I still love the show, but yes season 3 was a little uneven. 5-GLOW Season 2 is just amazing, and so much better than season 1. When the show was funny, it nailed it, and when the show was serious, it nailed it.  4-Counterpart I haven't started season 2 yet, but season 1 blew me away. That reveal in episode 6 I never saw coming.  3-Patriot At times season 2 was amazing, at other times it felt like the show was trying way too hard. I feel like I need to re-watch it to truly judge it, because I am still unsure how I truly feel about it. There are things I don't completely understand or that even make sense to me in season 2 (despite everything in season 1 making complete sense). Still despite that it is my number 3, because it is so original.  2-The Haunting of Hill House I was really worried (as someone who loves the book and the original 1963 movie) when I saw the trailer, since it was a completely different story than the book. In hindsight to do a original new story was genius. The influence of Six Feet Under was all over this show. The ending? I guess I have been ruined by Stephen King endings, because I thought the ending of this was fine.  1-Terrace House This show is the reason why I missed so much other TV in 2018. My wife and I watched 117 episodes of Terrace House in 2018 (46 episodes of Boys & Girls in the City, 36 episodes of Aloha State, and so far 35 episodes of Opening New Doors). I also have 98 episodes of the first non-Netflix season sitting on my laptop which I plan to start in 2019. I can not explain why this show is like crack to me. Maybe it is how great the host are or the look inside of a different culture. It doesn't matter, because it is my top show of 2018, and my all-time favorite reality show. To be clear I have based my number 1 ranking solely on the 2018 season of Opening New Doors (which part 1 of that was the first Terrace House I ever watched).
