number 10. Abbott Elementary season two

airing The Season's final 12 episodes

earlier this year Abbott Elementary

didn't suffer a sophomore slump why is

the man cooking ribs in my parking spot

what is happening is that

is a development you even got a park on

the street or give me fifty dollars for

your spot I'm making extra money for the

school so put out a back out every

member of The fine-tuned Ensemble

continues to bring their A-game with

Creator Quinta Brunson at The Head of

the Class like the best workplace

sitcoms the writing derives relatable

comedy from its setting at the same time

the show has ventured beyond the

classroom which is where Janine and

Gregory have come the closest to

becoming more than work friends or just

friends for how long did you like me

like how long pretty much since the

first day I got to Abbott really

me too just as public schools can rise

above Charter Schools Abbott Elementary

proves that network shows are not dead

in the streaming era Savor these

episodes though because with the wga

strike underway we'll likely have to

wait longer than usual to reunite with

our favorite teachers I've found this

Valentine in my mailbox since from quote

a secret admirer candy heart with my

name on it is this from one of you guys

Number Nine Star Trek Picard season 3.

fans often say that Star Trek the Next

Generation had two Rocky Seasons before

fighting its voice in season three I am

looking forward to it because while

you're running around setting up

Diplomatic Security I'm going to sip

sorry and Brandy

and think about writing my Memoir You

could argue that history repeated itself

with Picard but this series perhaps had

an even more impressive turnaround

season one was mixed at best and season

two might be the most hated entity in

all of Star Trek season 3 is something

of a miracle delivering a farewell

worthy of Jean-Luc Picard's Legacy all

that matters is that we are together

once more

because I need you

all of you

not just Picard but the rest of the Next

Generation crew as well with the return

of several fan favorites season three

was touching rousing and nostalgic in

all the right ways

starting week but ending strong we guess

you could call this the Bizarro Star

Wars sequel Trilogy you know well I've

come to believe that the stars have

always been in my favor

number eight The Marvelous Mrs maisel

season five

any respectable comedian Midge maisel

knows when to take a bow while

simultaneously leaving the audience

applauding for more please return your

friend to the upright position you have

been a kind and forgiving audience don't

forget to tip your waitress she's saving

up to send her kids to Pittsburgh I'm

Mrs maisel thank you and good night

with its last batch of episodes Amy

sherman-palladino's creation delivers

its strongest sets in season one akin to

another final season on this list Mrs

maisel makes impeccable use of a Flash

Forward structure Exploring midge's Life

after her big break act like they've

never seen a Jewish mother before well

it's Israel Mama helicopter suddenly

appearing in the sky make people very

nervous who can invade a lettuce Farm

health conscious anti-semites who want a

salad while much of the show still takes

place in the 60s the real meat of the

story is in the future where Midge and

Susie's friendship Is On The Rocks a

25-year friendship gone bust

what happened

happened Mike is that two people in Show

Business tried to have a friendship

Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein

somehow managed to outdo themselves with

two comedic Powerhouse performances for

the ages the punchline is the most

essential part of any joke and maisel

thankfully Nails it number seven

shrinking season one bill Lawrence and

Brett Goldstein of Ted lasso team with

Jason Siegel for another Apple TV plus

series that's surprisingly therapeutic

we know the answer don't you ever want

to just just make him do it great idea

we just Rob them of their autonomy any

chance they have to help themselves

right and we become what psychological

Vigilantes we suppose not that

surprising as shrinking is about therapy

sometimes even therapists need therapy

as Siegel's Jimmy deals with the loss of

his wife and a strained relationship

with his daughter this encourages Jimmy

to get directly involved in the lives of

his patients delivering brutally honest

advice with mixed results Paul I think I

can help people if I just get my hands a

little dirtier okay be me for a second

would you trust you

the answer is no

well you didn't let me be you even when

Jimmy's actions backfire shrinking

always delivers the proper dosage of

comedy and pathos The Supporting Cast

ranges from breakout talents like

Jessica Williams to seasoned vets like

Harrison Ford who reminds us what an

underappreciated comedic Talent he is

you think it's safe for you to still be

driving you know with the Parkinson's I

passed the mandatory motor skills test a

few months ago I'm just a shitty driver

from the first episode onward shrinking

just keeps growing on you number six

Poker Face season one in the spirit of

Colombo poker face isn't a whodunit but

rather a how Catch Em why do you listen

to that stuff why do I listen to the

news

yeah what's the point you can't do

anything about it

every day you're mad about something you

can't do anything about you're just

better off with music don't you think

I'm doing something about it right now

virtually every episode commences

revealing how a murderer committed the

crime with the suspense revolving around

how Natasha Leone's Charlie will bring

them to justice whereas Colombo had a

badge Charlie is on the run and just

can't seem to maintain a low profile

sorry what's your name Charlie kale your

registration's in the glove box did you

know that you're a person of interest in

a bunch of deaths in Nevada I'm sure the

cops would love to talk to you while the

show follows a formula Creator Ryan

Johnson keeps every episode fresh with a

revolving door of A-list guest stars

unique settings and rewarding twists

Leone is the glue that holds Poker Face

together crafting an instantly iconic TV

gumshoe who places alongside Colombo

Jessica Fletcher and Sherlock Holmes we

dare even say that Benoit block may have

competition as Johnson's sharpest sleuth

could you do me a favor and just let me

know what this undeniable evidence is

doesn't matter

what

attic because I just got a confession

have a confess to anything oh no not

yours number five Yellow Jackets season

two when the yellow jacket soccer team

crash landed in season one we knew that

they would have to take Extreme Survival

measures in season two the characters

finally sink their teeth into the

unthinkable right now there is a version

of you

that knows exactly who you really are

and what you really want

a primal Elemental self the present day

events are equally engaging with the

grown Yellow Jackets confronting sins of

the past as well as newly committed ones

just when you thought this vast Ensemble

couldn't get any more impressive a

launch of wood pops up as a stranger who

keeps us guessing what's with the boat

nautical life calls to me plus I hate

bureaucratic red tape you never know

when you might need to leave the country

Sam's passport likewise season 2 leaves

you constantly wondering whether this

show should be categorized as

Supernatural psychological or a mix of

both we're not sure where the story is

going but we are in it for The Long

Winter

um remember when you asked if I told

anyone about all the stuff that's going

on

promise you won't freak out sure no if

you're not caught up see why it's the

buzziest mystery currently on TV number

four beef season one it all starts with

a bit of road rage what

we won't tell you how beef ends but to

say that things escalate quickly would

be an understatement Steven young and

Ali Wong play two deeply flawed human

beings who can't let a little thing go

allowing it to snowball into a big thing

although they come from different

classes both characters are losing

control of their lives there's always

something yes

there's always something

you know it's like you work so hard for

so long just to provide for your family

right yeah not you than who's gonna yeah

exactly yeah and then at some point you

think relax but no by getting the last

word both feel that they regain some of

that control as matters continue to

spiral though control emerges as an

illusion and Petty Vengeance Is All That

Remains see something you like Baby Bro

go get it

gotta take control man it's unclear what

the future holds for beef but if Creator

Lee sung Jin keeps this tragic comedy

self-contained we'd be more than

satisfied

number three Barry season four after

last season's Cliffhanger Barry set us

up for a bleak final curtain

[Music]

throughout the series we've watched

Barry take on numerous roles a soldier

an assassin an actor in his last act

Barry dives into another role as he

pursues a new life no matter what mask

Barry Dawns though he can't escape what

he is I need I need a dog catcher

I don't know if I need to spell this out

for you anymore tonight I already am

Hank

all right I need your help like now

the same can be said about the other

characters Jean can't escape his thirst

for the spotlight Hank can't escape the

violence that surrounds him and Sally

can't escape the cruel twists that life

keeps throwing her way it's kusano's

method just because it was done to you

does not mean you need to do it to us

okay uh let's take a tight five as

tragic as all of these people are barry

remains rooted in comedy showing how

both genres can be different sides of

the same mask number two The Last of Us

season one this HBO series is based on

one of the most compelling stories in

video games being such a cinematic game

we were skeptical if a series could

truly bring anything new to the equation

so what's the deal with you anyways some

kind of bigwig's daughter or something

something like that fortunately The Last

of Us is a high point in what's been

easily the best year ever for video game

adaptations the show does Justice to the

game's most iconic moments with Pedro

Pascal and Bella Ramsay turning in Pitch

Perfect performances as Joel and Ellie

respectively well how about that I made

it in five days easy days I don't know

what time he was so afraid of

still time to find out

still time to find out the show Runners

also expand upon the source material

with more time dedicated to supporting

characters like Bill and Frank

can we just give Nick Offerman the Emmy

already it is a rare adaptation that

manages to be faithful while standing on

its own before we unveil our top pick

here are some honorable mentions

smiggadoone season two out with the

Rogers and Hammerstein in with the

fossian Sondheim thank you

thank you

thank you ladies and gentlemen oh you're

too kind no really thank you party down

season three party like it's 2009. now

everyone's dying for oh I love this

stuff the unions get togethers ketchups

do against I love seeing people from the

past and seeing people from the past see

other people from the past why Ted lasso

season three we still believe all we

need to win

are the fellows in this room right now

and all you fellas need to do

is believe it

Daisy Jones and the six the band is

fictional but the characters feel so

real

first oh I'm fine unless you have

something oh I'm fine okay the other two

number one succession season four we'd

like to apologize to every other drama

that's aired in the past year because

chances are you're gonna have to watch

the succession cast and crew pick up

most of the Emmys can anyone blame the

TV Academy how are we looking this is

every vertical

no no that's no no that's a hard note

this is bound to go down as one of the

finest final seasons of all time greed

has always been at the Forefront of

succession but season four is just as

much about grief I love you

but you are not

serious people in case you've somehow

avoided spoilers let's just say that the

season throws a curveball early on this

twist brings out the most Humanity we've

seen in each member of the Roy family at

the end of the day though our humanity

and family destined to live in

capitalism's Shadow

already rich
