“i’m broken, dad - some days i wake up and feel like there’s something in me that’s missing… you left us all, and now you’re not coming home. what about me? where do i get to go?”
“i haven’t seen you for six months, mum… it isn’t so great actually at the moment. everything’s gone a bit wrong. i don’t… i don’t really know what i’m doing.”
As I started making this list just realised I did watch more than 50 different TV shows this year. Thanks Covid and the never ending lockdown in Manchester. That’s why a lot of them didn’t make it in the top 30. I’m not meaning they aren’t great. For example I really enjoyed watching the second season of The Politican or The Norsemen but they aren’t affected me a lot. Had fun with them and the next day I was all about something else. They didn’t stay in my mind or in my heart, or just a jokes … they wasn’t like … legendary. So let’s go:
01. I May Destroy You - Season 1. - Without any doubt, Michaela Coel is my new queen. Honest, funny and not affraid to stab you with a knife in your heart in any minute.
02. Adult Material - Miniseries
03. We Are Who We Are - Miniseries - Luca Guadagnino can tell you a story the way nobody elses can and that makes him very special.
04. Normal People - Miniseries - I am not absoulutely agree with every decision they made but the difficulty of the first love is clear. However the message is clear, that who you love once, no matter what happens later, you will always love, even if you don’t speak with them for years or they move to another continent.
05. Giri/Haji - Miniseries - If you only watch one crime show this year, it should be this.
06. Industry - Season 1. - After the first episode I was thinking I didn’t watch anything this boring in 2020 but somehow I just did stick to it and few hours later I did understand all what they saying and why are they so fucking weird but loveable in the same time. Love when the story is complex and the charathers are so great. Also the casting. OMG.
07. Succession - Season 2. - Not a single person I like in this family. Not one.
08. Rita - Season 2,3,4,5 - I don’t know why but in 2015 I abandonded Rita after the first season but while I was sick off from work almost 2 months this year I started watching it again and everything that happened just comforted me and they made me believe in humanity again. No matter how fucked up you are, you still have so much to give back to the community.
09. Euphoria - Season 1. - Always thought my childhood were different I had so much shit going on but they showed me my life is actually beautiful, compare to those two.
10. Sex Education - Season 2 - I loved the first season so much but second one was even better.
11. Hollywood - Miniseries - Sometimes Ryan Murphy is a perfectionist, sometimes he is just going too far and makes mess. This time he was the first.
12. Killing Eve - Season 3.
13. Little Fires Everywhere - Miniseries - After every episode I felt the characters dig even deeper and I loved that.
14. The Boys - Season 1 and 2.
15. Black Earth Rising - Miniseries
16. Snowpiercer - Season 1.
17. The Witcher - Season 1.
18. I Hate Suzie - Season 1.- Is it alright to post a sex video of a celebrity online? Until you see this you might thought it’s okay.
19. Barry - Season 1 & 2 - Season 1 episode 4 has the best scene I seen this year. Yes, the fighting one.
20. The Crown - Season 4
21. The Queen’s Gambit - Miniseries
22. Westworld - Season 3.
23. White Lines - Miniseries - Every single person is so dumb in this except Boxer. He is clever and handsome.
24. Kim’s Convenience - Season 1, 2, 3 ,4.
25. The New Pope - Miniseries
26. Emily in Paris - Season 1. - Why people hated this? Did they expect something else from Darren Star?
27. Afterlife - Season 1 & 2
28. Schitt’s Creek - Season 6. - It is still so perfect. Every single person is perfect as they are.
29. Chewing Gum - Season 1 & 2
30. Love Life - Season 1.
At the end we have to talk about Scott’s new sci-fi which is Raised by Wolves. It was so perfect until the last episode … Biggest disppointment this year. Maybe in this last decade.
People think when they’re not saying anything, they’re not saying anything, but that’s not the case.
I think I could go about 20 seconds.
