Welcome everybody! We're back! Sorry for the delay. A new year of TV has almost concluded so it's time to find out what everyones favourite TV shows are. The TV landscape is more varied than ever, but there are still some pop culture juggernauts hanging around to battle it out at the top of the poll. Will Better Call Saul carry on Breaking Bad's great legacy? Will House of the Dragon have the same impact on our users as Game of Thrones? Will Apple take HBOs crown as the prestige TV king? All these questions and more will be settled! Join us in celebrating the best that 2022 had to offer in our Annual Poll. Deadline is 11:59PM US EST Friday 20th of JanVOTING RULES1. Every show you pick must have had a first time airing in its country of origin in full or in part during 2022. This could be a network show, a cable show, an online show, a TV movie (not movies from streaming services), it could even be a Youtube thing if you're down with what the kids are calling 'it'. 2. The joy of this thread is in getting to shout about your favourites and hear about the hidden gems that you missed and we can only do that if you talk about why you've chosen the shows you have. You can write a sentence, you can write an essay, whatever you like as long as you write something. Any lists posted without reasons for their picks will not be counted in the final vote. 3. If you want to list more than ten shows go for it but I'll only count your top ten. If you want to list less than ten shows then go for that too but I won't count it at all. If you don't want to rank your picks then that's fine as well but again, I won't count it. 4. Don't be a dick about other people's choices. This is a positive thread to celebrate the best of TV, not a place for people to get lost in an argument over which genre show in its third season poo poo the bed worst. If you want to be critical then take it elsewhere. 5. If you want to talk about spoilers in your post then by all means go for it but put a spoiler warning at the start of your list. 6. If you want to go back and edit your list after the fact then go for it, just shoot me a PM or post in the thread to let me know you have or I might not count it. Please ensure you edit your original post, don’t create a new list. I will periodically link user posts in the second comment of this thread. 7. Deadline for submissions is 11:59 on Jan 20th . I'll then do a live countdown of the final results some time after that at a time that suits the thread (that I'm able to do from the other side of the world.) To make the collation of results and the creation of the results a bit easier - I've created a Google Form that I'd really apppreciate you filling out in addition to posting your ballots in the thread. This isn't mandatory - the official ballots are the ones posted in the thread. Your votes will not count if they're not posted in the thread, it will just help me out greatly if you do in fact fill it out. The form can be found  hereThere you have it, it's as simple as that!

Not so honourable mentions to the following. I enjoyed these shows for what they were: Peaky Blinders - Cillian Murphy is a fascinating actor. Show was never an all-timer for me, and these season was one of the worst but it was still a fun ride. Ozark - Kind of disappointing final season after a really fun ride up until this point. Last couple of episodes were especially frustrating. The Walking Dead - I drifted from this show after about season 5 but picked it back up again this year and from about season 9 onwards, it really started to do some good things again which gave me glimpses of previous greatness. I liked what they did in this final season. Yellowstone, 1883, 1923 and Tulsa King - I'm gonna keep watching them all but the wheels are starting to fall of the Sheridan machine (Tulsa King is ehhhhh and 1923 so far has been astoundingly bad) Honorable mentions to the following. These could have been on my list on any given day but just didn't ge there. Would still love to give them a shout out: Welcome To Wrexham - Just missed my list when I realised I forgot Atlanta. I battled plenty of cynics on the forum re: this show, but it was an absolute joy to watch. Rob and Ryan seem like genuinely good guys and it was really fun getting to know this team, the people of the town and to follow them on their journey. Can't wait for season two. Reboot - Really liked this show. Fun concept. Great to have Rachel Bloom back on my screen. Black Bird - This is my poo poo. Really well done prison drama. I found Taron Edgerton to be electric. Dude just commands your attention and is captivating. Tokyo Vice - Yeah, Ansel Elgort is a bit of a chump (if not worse) but the show is fun and the universe is cool. Mythic Quest - The cast has a ton of charm. Charlotte Nicdao might be my favourite person in the world. Show has a high floor but didn't hit it out of the park this year. Reservation Dogs - Show continues to knock it out of the park. A genuinely fascinating show to watch each week and learn more about the indigenous population of the US. Bluey - Not as good as previous seasons but still the best kids show on TV by far. Industry - Binged both seasons in December and had a ton of fun. After Life - I know he's the internets least favourite person (in my internet circles anyway), but I like Ricky Gervais and it continues to baffle me how he continues to make be bawl my eyes out with every episode of this show. Mayor of Kingstown - The best of the expanded Taylor Sheridan-verse. Avenue 5 - Wish this didn't take so long to return. Had a ton of fun with it though. Mo - This was my random "scrolling through Netflix and click on it" self discovery of the year. Binged it in a couple of days and really enjoyed it. Love learning about new slices of life for various populations. The Patient - Fun little thriller with good performances all around. Really tight, well structured story and show. Animal Kingdom - The show continued to be fun to the very end. I'm glad to have been there for the entire journey and was fun to watch the boys story conclude. 10. Peacemaker I felt like this aired forever ago and it's hard to remember how much fun I had watching it, but the fact I still remember having fun with it is impressive in itself. I've not been a fan of anything DC related over the last few years, but James Gunn might just change all that. 9. The White Lotus I was a fan of the first season but season two for me was an improvement in every way. Mike White is doing something that no one else on TV is doing and I could see this show easily going another 2-3 seasons if he wants it o. Aubrey Plaza continues to evolve and truly impress. 8. The English I think Westerns might well be becoming one of my favourite genres. This show was an absolute hoot. Some really unique storytelling and imagry and some really interesting tonal choices. 7. We Own This City Yeah, David Simon can be a bit of of a prick on Twitter, but holy poo poo, he can still make good TV shows. There was a some clunky, overly preachy dialogue here and there, but the story was riveting, the cast was amazing and the depiction of real life events was both astounding and jawdropping. I absolutely loved following along with all the supplemenaty podcasts and twitter feeds. 6. Barry This show continues to impress. It does things that are truly unique that no other shows are doing on TV. A great balance of comedy and pathos that contiues to be fresh after three seasons. Hader and co. should be applauded. 5. Severance What a ride this show was. I'm a big fan of pretty much the entire case and the story was something that was familiar, yet entirely unique. A really fun mindfuck that had a riveting last couple of episodes. Can't wait to see what happens next. 4. Better Call Saul I can't believe a spinoff of Breaking Bad starring the slimy jerkwad lawyer actually worked, and not only worked, did something really special. And in it's final season, it actually stuck the landing. Breaking Bad had a great ending, if not a little neat and tidy, but the end of this season was close to perfect. Bravo Vince Gilligan and co. 3. Atlanta The show is undeniable. Unlike anything else on TV. The wait was worth it. Did I love 100% of the choices that were made? No. Is Glover starting to veer a little too Kanye for my liking? Maybe. But I'm so grateful for this creation and I'm glad for every minute he gave us. 2. The Rehearsal Nathan Fielder is genius and I continue to be fascinated and amazed by him. I was really looking forward to this after being such a long time fan of Nathan For You and this show didn't disaappoint. Can't wait to see what he does next. 1. The Bear What a refreshing tour de force this show was. Jeremy Allen White continues to be amazing, but the rest of the cast where really special too. FX continues to produce so absolute gems.

Am I gonna pretend likes it's the flawless second coming of The Wire? No. But Animal Kingdom stayed consistent throughout and I loved it. Ellen Barkin killed it, I find Finn Cole endlessly watchable and Shawn Hatosy's performance was genuinely compelling. If you don't think overly hard about the long term multi-season storytelling arcs and just focus on the season length ones you'll enjoy some fun heists, a cool setting and compelling performances. I know a lot of people thought the show would lose its way after the major season 4 death but it was fun watching the fallout/change in dynamics and the flashback storyline was strangely compelling. PS I also really want their house Looten Plunder fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Jan 17, 2023 |

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.

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. We Own This City (HBO) NEW ENTRY 37 Points, 8 Nominations Best Limited Series

Alhazred posted:Because it showed that Marvel's not above making fun of themselves and sometimes experiment a little. That should be encouraged. King Burgundy posted:Exactly what I wanted from this show and more. Marvel Legal Comedy with fourth wall breaking and social commentary. Achillesforever6 posted: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.  13. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Disney+) NEW ENTRY 43 Points, 8 Nominations, #1 Spot 1 Time

Pan Dulce posted:Tell me where on the doll's heart D&D hurt you? Then watch this show and have it healed! Open Source Idiom posted:A friend called this "feminist medieval horror" and it definitely starts out that way, before morphing into a tragedy punctuated by bleak, satirical jokes. 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. House of the Dragon (HBO) NEW ENTRY 46 Points, 7 Nominations
