20 shows are in the race for the best television show of 2020 - let's add 10 more.
1. Happy Endings (YouTube)
2. Gone in the Dark (HBO)
3. Last Chance U (Netflix)
4. Expecting Amy (HBO Max)
5. Outcry (Showtime)
6. Hard Knocks (HBO)
7. Hightown (Starz)
8. Love Life (HBO Max)
9. The Vow (HBO)
10. Love Fraud (Showtime)
In the weirdest possible year, we have the most unlikely top ranked show for a quarter; the great Happy Endings did a charity reunion episode over Zoom that was the funniest half hour of the year by a million miles. Almost every other series here is a doc; the pulpy Hightown and the moderately successful Anna Kendrick vehicle Love Life the exceptions. We've got two football series - Last Chance U makes this list, maybe every season, and Hard Knocks is consistent year over year. Gone in the Dark/Outcry are True Crime; as is Love Fraud - both it and The Vow are mid-season, so they could still move up/down based on the rest of their runs. Amy Schumer wins Covid, her cooking show is also pretty good.
Three quarters and 30 shows are in the books. 3 months and 10 shows from now we'll hit the end (I mean, it has to come eventually, right?) of 2020 and crown show of the year.
