Honourable Mentions Umbrella Academy S2, Zoe’s Extraordinary Playlist, Brave New World, Amazing Race, Halifax Retribution, Love Victor, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Nailed It, She-Ra, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend, Kipo, Unsolved Mysteries Agents of SHIELD - Come on Disney, acknowledge and celebrate your unloved child. Bring Quake over to one of your new shows. Superstore - Superstore has always been a breezy retail sit-com which often reflects current issue. None so much as the Season 6 opener. Christ. It really should be a historical document at this point - https://youtu.be/wGfuLCI9BOs Ducktales – Look, this cute cartoon is ever-so improved on the 90s version. It’s a shame they’ve cancelled it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVAUxd3_l48 At Home Alone Together – The good old ABC came up with this gem during lockdown. Aunty Donna’s Big Old House of Fun – EVERYTHING’S A DRUM! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2T7oLbmvx4 Infinity Train S3 – Well they took the antagonists from S2 and made this season about them. It certainly got dark. 10) The Crown – I have never watched this show before. But I heard Princess Diana was in S4, so I tuned in. It was a glossy, soapy reimagining of history. Those monsters treated Diana terribly. 9) Westworld – This is a shiny show that isn’t nearly as smart as it believes it is. It frequently squanders interesting plots, characters and themes. But the concept & art design/cinematography is the part which keeps me engaged. Let’s see how things go with Dolores in S4. 8) Mad As Hell – They kept this gem of a satirical show running during the strict lockdown in Melbourne. Shaun Micallef really is a national treasure https://youtu.be/pGaAszsh57s 7) Harley Quinn – Watching Harley Quinn & Ivy interact is great. Plus, the number of characters they’ve killed off is surprising. It constantly subverts expectations and keeps you laughing. Oh and I loved the Bachelorette Party on Wonder Woman’s island. Jen is the best. 6) The Haunting of Bly Manor – I didn’t know I was getting a ghost story as a cover for a lesbian love story, but I really enjoyed it. 5) What We Do in the Shadows – The cast are fantastic and it’s constantly hilarious. The mundane BS of getting a chain email leads to these out-of-time vampires losing their poo poo.

The pilot really encapsulates that the magic and monsters are on the periphery, it’s the racist monsters in the every day to look out for.  3) Drag Race – RuPaul Charles can be a problematic person. But their show still gives a platform to a diverse range of queens from around the world. Season 12 was fascinating in that they effectively ‘edited out’ a contestant as allegations (and confessions) arose when the season premiered. The re-edit certainly helped give the cast more air-time and reduced a clear winner’s edit. Never forget Crystal’s Baby Bird lip-sync. Honourable mention to Drag Race Canada & Holland. Oh and Shea & Jujubee for carrying a dismal AS5. 2) Legends of Tomorrow – Honestly, the best DC series. The fact it doesn’t take itself seriously is a godsend. This season we said goodbye to Ray Palmer (total mistake), but we still had a wide range of ridiculous (in the best way) stories. From exploding Rasputin to captive Marie Antoinette, Legends improved from a middling S4. 1) The Good Place – We only had 4 episodes in 2020, but the ending of The Good place was one of the best finales I’ve seen. As soon as it was released, I had downloaded the episode off of Netflix before boarding a flight. Watching the characters go left me in tears. It wrapped up almost everything perfectly. On another note, I still want to know - How did Simone die?
