Best:
The Crown (Netflix)
Diana joins the family and is promptly tossed into the royal threshing machine by Queen Elizabeth II and the system she lives to uphold. Throw in a virtuosic performance by Gillian Anderson as the Iron Lady, and this is The Crown’s most humane, poignant, and impeccably-rendered season yet.
Click to viewTed Lasso (Apple TV+)
Jason Sudeikis’ titular coach arrived just when we needed him most. Expanded from an NBC Sports promo into a lively and complete comedic universe, Ted Lasso delivered 10 hilarious episodes about team building, emotional intelligence and the unrelenting power of human decency.
Desus & Mero (Showtime)
Many households lived for their twice-a-week check-in with Daniel “Desus Nice” Baker and Joel “The Kid Mero” Martinez, show that helped them through the pandemic. Their ascendant tangent-prone chatfest became the outraged (and outrageously funny) masterpiece of the At-Home era.
The Plot Against America (HBO)
A Jersey family who happens to be Jewish faces a president who happens to be fascist. This show ends on a tense election night. For the US that night never ends.
Worst:
Westworld (HBO)
The evil Frenchman, computer god-spheres, constant re-deaths, and Aaron Paul as a extremely bland new hero? Everything went wrong when the quirky robo-Western rebooted itself into a bland tech-noir.
