2020 Best Television Shows: Oct-Dec

Friday, December 25, 2020

 Jan-Mar

Apri-Jun

Jul-Sep


1. Fargo (FX)
2. Ted Lasso (Apple+)
3. Industry (HBO)
4. PEN15 (Hulu)
5. I May Destroy You (HBO)
6. The Reagans (Showtime)
7. How to With John Wilson (HBO)
8. The Comedy Store (Showtime)
9. My Next Guest Needs No Introduction (Netflix)
10. The Morning Show (Apple+)

The 4th quarter of the year can be a catch up period, which is why The Morning Show is here (it's a bit of a mess, but I really enjoyed watching it). Letterman's Netflix show and a Showtime documentary of which he was a part are next on the list.  The John Wilson show is a good companion piece for (the superior) Nathan For You.  The Reagans got Reagan right (if insufficiently appreciates his damage). Full disclosure, I'm still working through I May Destroy You; if it's a month from now I may edit the Best Shows of the Year final list to reflect that.  Industry is in a similar position, but I'm further along. The current seasons of PEN and Fargo give what you'd expect, PEN was similarly strong in season one and Fargo, as a franchise, has been around the top of the list twice before.  Ted Lasso was a really good hearted show in a way that filled a need in 2020.
