A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
This list was better than I expected.

Surprised that "It's Always Sunny" didn't make the cut.

Happy to see "Squid Game" so high. Was worried after all of the "it's overrated" posts.

Maybe I should watch Wandavision.

I am a little surprised that Ted Lasso is so high given that the second season seemed divisive. Or perhaps I am just overestimating how many people didn't like it.
