Looten Plunder posted:If nine-gear crow reads this,you didn't post anything in thread. Yeah lol I just threw my submissions in the Google form without bothering to post them here: Anyway, here are mine. 10*. Star Trek: Picard This deserves to be way lower because it poo poo the bed so badly in the end, but I didn't watch that many shows this year so womp womp. Season 3 truly is the winner of the "Most Improved While Still Somehow Also Being Complete Dogshit" Award if there ever was one. A solid 6 out of 10 endeavor that showed a tiny bit of promise and then very quickly devolved into Boomer nostalgia porn. It shouldn't be on this list but I don't want to lie and put a show I didn't actually watch on here, so here ya go, hope it skews your metric really weirdly. 9. Castlevania: Nocturne A worthy follow up to its original predecessor, now with 100% less sexpest showrunners! 8. The Wheel of Time A definite winner for "Most Improved" between its first season and its second, and I'm one of those people who thought the first season was pretty good until COVID sent it spiraling off course. The cast and the writers both found their footing this year and I've never seen a better looking show for costuming so far. 7. Reacher I was sold on this show by a friend who also hadn't seen it as "let's watch this dumb show about this dumb meatslab solving crimes through violence" and was blown away by how actually smart and charming the whole thing was. It has no right to be this good and yet it somehow is. 6. Scavengers Reign A brutally beautiful experiment of animation. It's like a mashup of Naussicaa and Azarch with some real overly-detailed Akira style body horror every few minutes. I should probably put it higher but there was a lot of good stuff this year. 5. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off I'm always a fan of creators coming back to their earlier works with the wisdom of time and experience and taking another swing at the same bat. Scott Pilgrim takes off and everyone he leaves behind gets the chance to grow without him weighing them down. 4. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Straight up the best live action Star Trek show since Deep Space Nine went off the air. Building off an already stellar first season, SNW is a return to the proper style of Competence Porn that Star Trek is at its best. 3. Star Trek: Lower Decks Star Trek: Prodigy should be in this spot, but it aired last year and not this year, so Lower Decks gets to be the best Star Trek show period of 2023. It keeps firing on all cylinders and improves every year and I hope it gets the chance to keep going for as long as it can even as Paramount kind of goes down in flames around it. 2. The Last of Us A great video game makes for a great TV show, funny how that happens. This show was drat near perfect on every level and managed to take what was already good about the game and make it even better. 1. Blue Eye Samurai This show came right out of nowhere and blew everything else away for me this year. An absolutely beautiful show on every level from the animation to the choreography to the voice acting to the music to the scene composition. More people need to watch this show. I can't get over how good it was.

These are all really good choices. Honestly, every show's a winner in my eyes. Except Picard, that should be dead last, move it to Fiona and Cake's slot Looten
