Favorites include a surreal trip through New York, a sweet slice-of-life comedy, a heartfelt sports doc and a slew of sumptuous literary adaptations.
With the entire entertainment industry in a worrisome lull in the aftermath of years interrupted by COVID and the dual guild strikes, much of the conversation about television in 2024 focused on brands and IP, familiar titles presented to viewers with all of the strategy of an inebriated gnu playing darts.
Or maybe what looked like a holistic trend on the morning I locked my Top 10 is a matter of perspective, since all I knew when I started was what my Top 3 was going to be. Every show on my honorable mentions list could just as easily have made my Top 10, shifting the narrative toor “Shows I Nearly Forgot Because They Were Gone So Long, But Then I Remembered I Still Loved Them.”
But we’ll stubbornly maintain that the converse is true as well — that no matter how much dreck is floating around, there will also always be works of meticulous artistry and breathtaking originality. I was reminded of that when I caught up with the third and final season of HBO’s, shortly before starting this list.
