Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities I just really like horror anthologies. They might be uneven, but most of them still ,manages to include some gems and this anthology absolutely delivered with the Viewing and Inside. Both had a distinctive style and was totally bonkers. Evil  Evil continued to be totally insane and not being overly concerned about delivering a coherent story. If you want a story that make sense this is not a show for you, but if you want have some fun you should check it out. She-Hulk  Because it showed that Marvel's not above making fun of themselves and sometimes experiment a little. That should be encouraged. Love, Death+Robots  Another anthology. It's also uneven, but overall the general input was really strong. Jibaro alone justifies it being on this list. Andor  Finally a good Star Wars show. A show that really portray how authoritarian and oppressive the empire was. How it worked and how it didn't work. What it was like for people that wasn't jedis, princesses or cool space smugglers to live under it. Unlike a lot of sci-fi shows about authoritarian shows it also shows a real understanding about how things works, that it's not possible to have clean hands while fighting oppression and that what oppressive states really achieve when they try to control people too much is that they become radicalized. The Bear  Cousin! Just a really good written show with great actors and directors. Harley Quinn  Both the best and most progressive tv show about super heroes this year. Villains are actually reformed, socialist policies implemented in Gotham and Billy Bob Thornton is accidentally killed. Our Flag Means Death  I didn't have high hopes with this one. But then it turned out to be a really heartwarming queer drama where people sometimes got brutally killed. His Dark Materials  It's really rare to see a show, especially a fantasy show, really nail the ending but His Dark Materials absolutely did. Which is even more impressive since the last bit of the story is where Bill Pullman goes really weird. A war to kill god, a journey to save the souls from limbo and weird elephant-giraffe hybrids that uses seed pods as roller skates. Not only did the showrunners include all the weird poo poo that others would've toned down or cut, they actually made it work. Raised by Wolves  Too weird and beautiful to last, now gone, like tears in the rain. Scott barely had anything to do with it and yet it feels like it belong right beside Alien and Blade Runner. It certainly was better than Prometheus and Covenant where he was directly involved. The Sandman  That this show even exists is a minor miracle. Even more it seems like the showrunners actually gets what the comic is all about, which is why they confidentially can an episode in the middle of the season which is just two people talking with each other and it's the best and most memorable episode of 2022.

 I really like this show too. As you say it's really refreshing to watch a competition show where everyone just wants to have good time. I just wish they would stop trying to make "it will cut" a thing.
