psst you wanna do a communism?
As always I don't nearly watch that much TV so my list is a combination of pro wrestling, anime, youtube series, and shows that I may have followed mostly through TVIV threads or osmosis

10 Moon Knight (Disney+)
Spoiler for those who know me; all the MCU shows I watched this year will be in this list. Moon Knight was a fun romp since it tickles my love of Egyptian Mythology and a really good performance from Oscar Isaac. Even if it may not be the most sensitive portrayl of DID, I think Isaac treats it well and those really good mannerisms to differentiate the different aspects.

9 Prehistoric Planet (Apple)
This is now the gold standard of paleontology documentaries, treating dinosaurs like actual animals and giving into a little bit of speculation that isn't too far fetched (which is honestly needed since bones can only tell so much of a story); the CGI is really good, and David Attenborough is always a treat

8 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (Netflix)
I'm a Jojo mark so had to put it here; really happy to see this finally complete even if Netflix killed all the interest in Jojo online by binge releasing the 1st batch and then waiting 9 months to release the rest. We were given a satisfying conclusion that feels like a nice tie to the bow of the anime series since we debuted Phantom Blood in 2012. Now give me Steel Ball Run before we all die from climate change!

7 Ms. Marvel (Disney+)
Will say, not the biggest fan of Kamala's power changes from the comics, but I get it. The actress who plays her is perfect as if she was ripped out of the comics to the real world. 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.

6 AEW Dynamite (TBS)
There has been a lot of blood spilt both metaphorically about coverage of AEW from fans in PSP and literal in the amount of buckets Jon Moxley gave. I think people really over exaggerated the valleys in quality of AEW for 2022. Yes there were lulls, yes CM Punk acted like an rear end in a top hat (and hopefully he'll come back to the fold), yes Forbidden Door build was eh and killed a lot of momentum for AEW to build it's own shows. This is still the best wrestling show on the planet and nothing is going to change my mind.

5 Enjoy Wrestling (Youtube)
Full disclosure, over the year became friends with the owners and also use my podcast to sponsor their shows. Enjoy is a promotion in Pittsburgh that prides itself in introducing wrestling to everyone. Basically the owners and the talent wanted to make shows that would make their non-wrestling fan friends into wrestling fans. What Enjoy also does is provide an inclusive space and does stuff that should honestly be common place like having wrestlers/talent pronouns in the chyrons when they are introduced on screen. It also helps that every show has banger matches to boot!

4 Defunctland (youtube)
After the Disney Channel Theme episode I had to put this show on my list, it was probably already going up after the Garfield's Nightmare episode since that got a local pop from me since that is from my local amusement park on a ride that I actually rode. (No i didn't submit an email to Kevin). Kevin Perjurer has shown himself to be one of the best storytellers on youtube and honestly beyond that. I highly recommend checking his 2022 content, the guy puts a ton of work and it is reflected in the quality.

3 She-Hulk Attorney At Law (Disney+)
Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law is one of my favorite shows of all time, this scratches that itch and then some. Taking the MCU in a different direction and having a lot of fun with it while being really true to the She-Hulk comics. Also anything that pisses off incel nerds is good by my book.

2 The Sandman (Netflix
This show is a miracle, while I greatly prefer the audiobook series (which has a bonkers cast and released the Third Act in the Fall); to see something I have a particular reverence for get made in a TV show medium was gratifying after a lot of people showing skepticism after how American Gods went. Here's hoping now that they can film without the restrictions of COVID-19 lockdowns the show will be even better! And hopefully it doesn't fall from grace like American Gods did!

1 Better Call Saul (AMC)
What can be said? Crazy how this show has come from that first season thinking we were getting to the Saul fireworks factory in season 2; Bob Odenkirk deserves all the awards (guy nearly died on set!); Rhea Seehorn too!

Changed my number 9 to Prehistoric Planet since some goons reminded me that came out in 2022; also getting a kick of people putting in League of their Own since when I've gone through my old hometown to see the fam or do errands I noticed that the community college baseball field got turned into the baseball field from the movie only to find out that was where they filmed the show lol
