Yeah Alright. Lets Do This Welcome to the 2023 TVIV Top 10 Poll for the 2022 calendar year. Thank you all for your submissions (if something piques your interest, i encourage you all to go back and read the nominations in full as there are some fantastic observations and summaries that our users have submitted) and thanks for your patience while I tallied the results. There were some big retiring giants in 2021 so 2022 was always going to be interesting. With the streaming landscape ever expanding, but at the same time, self-imploding it was bound to lead to some interesting results. Could the old guard of Showtime and AMC find themselves a hit in 2022? Is HBO still the king of prestige TV? Has Netflix managed to stave off the streaming competition? Will AppleTV+ continue it's impressive rise? Is Network TV even relevant anymore? All these answers and more, will be answered soon!

Some interesting results so far in the 30 onwards count.
Tokyo Vice, Reboot (RIP), Fleishman is in Trouble, Industry, Mythic Quest, Black Bird are all personally recommended and could have made my top 10 ballot. Goon favourite, What we do in the Shadows, finally takes a drop and is no longer part of the official countdown Slow Horses and Yellowjackets were stiff to miss out (Yellowjackets suffered from 2021/2 crossover. Check out last years poll if you'd like to read more about it)

Primal (Adult Swim) RE-ENTRY 12 Points, 2 Nominations Best AnimationIshamael posted:The beginning of the season was a bit clunky as they moved the pieces into place, but a series of fun misdirects and interesting twists brought it all around for a satisfying conclusion. BetterLekNextTime posted:An absurdist mystery show with a lot of twists and turns that just nails it most of the time.  28. Only Murders in the Building (Netflix) DOWN 22 SPOTS 12 Points, 4 Nominations Achillesforever6 posted:Feel the show did a good job with the depiction of Muslim American life and also always good to point out how evil the British Empire was.

Shneak posted:I was invested until the very end. This was the most fun I had watching TV in 2022.

The Mole (Netflix) NEW ENTRY 14 Points, 2 Nominations, #1 Spot 1 Time CeeJee posted:Gorgeous, horrifying and captivating this was something to sit back, let it wash over you and don't think too much on what is actually happening. Open Source Idiom posted:Love the way it holds all its cards close to its chest and makes even costuming choices end up being relevant to the narrative. Really gut wrenching when it wants to be.  24. The English (Amazon) NEW ENTRY 14 Points, 3 Nominations Chairman Capone posted:Absolutely stunning, and extremely engrossing for a nonfiction quasi-documentary on prehistoric wildlife. What more needs to be said? Oasx posted:It's just nice seeing dinosaurs depicted well, that isn't an awful disaster movie.  24. Prehistoric Planet (Apple TV+) NEW ENTRY 14 Points, 4 Nominations CeeJee posted:A fitting end to a lovely show, ending with the end of the terrible conflict. Consistently funny and charming.

Problematic Pigeon posted:The Boys continues to occupy the narrow central zone of a Venn diagram comprised of sharp satire of corporate entertainment, exploration of toxic masculinity, and extreme cartoon violence. When it nails all three, as it did this past season, it's thrilling, thought-provoking, and wildly funny. Jerusalem posted:While there's plenty of sex and violence, what makes the show work beyond even the delightful parody of the superhero genre, celebrity culture, and exploration of the impact (and exploitation) of society, is the strong character work and excellent acting.  22.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:A really clever and entertaining show that's a murder mystery, but also a comedy. Pillowpants posted:This did the Murder Mystery/Comedy combo a lot better than anything else I’ve seen -so much so that I marathoned the show during an all nightery.  19. The Afterparty (Apple TV+) NEW ENTRY 22 Points, 6 Nominations Mrbuddylee posted:Consistently entertaining, lighthearted and feel-good. I teach kids frustration tolerance by having them watch this show with their parents. fancy stats posted:I will never tire of watching comedians making asses of themselves/occasionally being absolute legends. TelevisedInsanity posted:It celebrates all the many forms of comedy and art, from improv to slapstick to sketch to musical, that one season still delivers "something for everybody" and is still continuing to change and evolve  19.

Bulky Bartokomous posted:I enjoyed the shift from class issues to relationship issues and jealousy and honesty because it kept things fresh. timp posted:A sad and sexy show.

The White Lotus (HBO) DOWN 1 SPOT 32 Points, 6 Nominations Andrew_1985 posted:I enjoyed seeing a post-apocalyptic world that wasn’t walker dominated. fancy stats posted:Just an extremely beautiful story about people finding purpose and community in the face of societal collapse. A welcome breath of fresh air when everything else is just prepper fantasies. Chairman Capone posted:A series about surviving a pandemic but having to leave the city, deal with relationships and people left behind while making new connections, building a new future while coming to terms with the grasp of the past - the show obviously still hits very hard to me  15.

Raspberry Bang posted:ACAB am I right? Another great story from David Simon. Jerusalem posted:This is all real. This all actually happened. I had to keep reminding myself of that as I watched this show, jaw often agape. Leatherhead posted:A grim reminder that watching 'The Wire' didn't actually fix any of the problems. There's a lot to love about the acting and craftsmanship here, but above all else this is one of the most meticulous dissections of just how wholly the institution of American police-work has failed.  14.

Bulky Bartokomous posted:This show didn't suffer from having to tell too many stories and tie them together, and, as a result, it got to tell a more intimate GoT tale in superb detail.  12.

Shageletic posted:A few months after watching the show, what sticks with me isn't the fast-paced and hilarious dialogue, the killer action scenes, or sci fi inventiveness, it's John Cena breaking down and crying. The secret power of this show depicting hosed up super heroes is emotional honesty, delivered in swift punches and relentless combos. cant cook creole bream posted:John Cena can provoke some real emotions. That guy is great. The rest of the cast were cool too.

The show is so good at mixing comedy with heart-pounding anxiety in a way that few other shows are capable of, and even at its worst it is never not some of the most enticing and memorable storytelling of this decade. Escobarbarian posted:It was only with Atlanta that I felt he had truly created something special, and that it managed to stay so funny, beautiful, and surprising throughout - especially considering the long, long break - and then go out on a high, is nothing short of a miracle. This is as good as TV gets. Meatgrinder posted:This is not a show. This is a work of art.  6. Atlanta (FX) RE-ENTRY 83 Points, 11 Nominations, #1 Spot 3 Times
