No The Crown? And as much as I wanted to like Lovecraft Country it was a mess. The Outsider ended on a meh for me too. Ozark ranked too low. Dead to Me should have been one season. Weak year for TV although admittedly I watch very little.

Tried watching The Crown when the first season came out but couldn’t get into it. Have considered giving it another shot.

Lovecraft had ups and downs but at its best I loved it. Agree on The Outsider and Dead to Me. And I know I’m lower on Ozark than most, still enjoy it tho.

My wife says I watch to much TV. This list is proof that I do not watch enough. I don't think I have seen any of these. I told her she did not know what she was talking about.

The sad thing is I watched more than this but 30 seemed like a nice round number. It’s weird I watched more tv and less movies than usual, I guess I can blame the pandemic for that. Proof that I followed the stay home recommendation?

Will Check Out: 
The Queen's Gambit, Lovecraft Country, The Good Lord Bird, Perry Mason

[Mike in STL]

Enjoyed the reboot of Saved by the Bell. Yeah, I said it. What?

 

I've long outgrown that genre. But it doesn't take itself too seriously, they make fun of these kind of shows, plenty of callbacks to the original. Kelly Kapowski was my first crush, so...yeah..., I watched the original a lot. 

 

 

Semi-related: If you haven't, check out the "Zack Morris is Trash" shorts on Amazon. (May be on youtube too? it's a Funny or Die product). Flipping hilarious.

You have Ozark way too far down. Season 2 was meh, but season 3 was killer. Better than Tiger King.

I also don't see the final season of Schitt's Creek. Fantastic show, worthy of a top 30 spot I would guess. But I haven't seen most of the shows you listed here.

 

Haven't watched a lot of new shows this year. But The Boys was my favorite show I discovered in 2020. Will be right up there with Shameless (which is running its final season now), Better Call Saul, Stranger Things, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Mindhunter, Ozark, and Barry, as appointment viewing, asap, when they come out.

 

I guess that makes those my eight favorite shows right now.

[BSLRoseKatz]

Only new thing I watched was Mando, I rewatched Community when it came on Netflix and have been going through all of Seinfeld in order

[NewMarketSean]

The Boys lost momentum in season 1. Never finished it. 
 

I love Cobra Kai.

You and most every male in that ERA crushed on that gal.

 

She did a photoshoot after the show folded up, in a peak a boo fishnet black swimwear that was very popular for a while among the male population. Its out on google, but NFSW.

As a fellow nerd I'd like to also highlight the 4th and final season of Attack on Titan has begun, episodes releasing weekly on Hulu.

I thought this was an interesting read on Peacock going all-in on The Office:

‘The Office’ Is Peacock’s Hail Mary - The Ringer

[Mike in STL]

The Queens Gambit was good. I’d say add it to your to watch list, but don’t have to move it to the top.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Season 5 of The Expanse has been awesome - maybe the best season yet - in case anyone was wondering.

I second the motion to check out Zack Morris is Trash, if you haven't already. So damn good.

Screech is sick in the hospital  and they believe its cancer, from what I read yesterday.

It's easily the best book in the series too, and they are nailing it.  I think they were too heavy handed in giving away what was going to happen in episode 3, but outside of that it's been incredible.

 

Really sucks we're not getting the adaptation for books 7 through 9.

My goodness, yes. I have guffawed at least once in every video they've done.
