Sometimes “Best Of” lists<\/a> can lock us into a format that misses smaller, but still great TV moments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ODDBALL SHOWS WORTH WATCHING<\/h2>\n

‘Blue Eye Samurai’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 I\u2019m not a big anime fan, but for some reason (great story, fascinating animation) I liked \u201cBlue Eye Samurai,\u201d and I wasn\u2019t the only one.<\/p>\n

‘The Law According to Lidia Po\u00ebt’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 Outside of Italy few watched this period drama\/comedy about the first woman lawyer in Italy Lidia Po\u00ebt (pronounced poet). That’s a shame because not only is the beautiful Matilda De Angelis a good actress and fun to watch but the show packs all the humor of, say, \u201cDownton Abbey\u201d while telling a vibrant bit of history.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Copenhagen Cowboy’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 If you’re a fan of director Nicolas Winding Refn (\u201cNeon Demon\u201d \u201cPusher Trilogy\u201d \u201cDrive\u201d \u201cBronson\u201d \u201cToo Old To Die Young\u201d) you’ll like his small-screen series. Even if you\u2019ve never watched any of his work “Cowboy” will captivate you.<\/p>\n

‘The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 This show is so quiet, so boring and yet so interesting that it provides a near-constant contrast for the viewer. A young woman wants to become a geisha, but she ends up as the cook for a geisha school. If you love Japanese culture as I do it’s a must watch.<\/p>\n

‘Mrs. Davis’ (Peacock)<\/strong> \u2014 Betty Gilpin plays a nun on the quest for the Holy Grail while simultaneously fighting against an A.I. villain. She’ll have to team up with her ex to complete the quest, and he runs in some shady circles. Yeah, it\u2019s weird but Gilpin makes everything better.<\/p>\n

BEST FIGHT SCENES<\/h2>\n

‘The Killer’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 Okay, this is a cheat because it\u2019s a movie and not a show (But the film DID debut on Netflix…). Having said that, wow, were the fight scenes fantastic, especially Michael Fassbender’s battle against \u201cThe Brute.” If you\u2019ve ever wondered how a smaller, highly trained man could beat a bigger, stronger opponent this is the scene for you.<\/p>\n

‘Blue Eye Samurai’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 The battle in the dojo is well done and worth the watch. The sequence shows one fighter against many, but it doesn’t resort to action cliches.<\/p>\n

‘Warrior’ (MAX)<\/strong> \u2014 How is this show not more beloved? If you love martial arts this should be at the top of your list. The fight sequence in Mai Ling\u2019s (Dianne Doan) house was great because, as good as Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji) is, it\u2019s Li Yong (Joe Taslim) who is the heart of the show. He just exudes cool.<\/p>\n

‘Copenhagen Cowboy’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 Another epic fight in a dojo, this time it pits mob boss Chiang (Jason Hendil-Forssell) and Miu (Angela Bundalovic). I’d imagine directors will want to cast Hendil-Forssell as a baddie going forward. He has that \u201cGodfather\u201d-type seriousness but can also pull off martial arts stunts.<\/p>\n

‘Gen V’ (Prime)<\/strong> \u2014 Superhero fight scenes almost also suck because it\u2019s impossible to show superhuman bodies flying around, smashing into buildings, etc. and not have it appear silly on some level. Where are the stakes? When you\u2019re in \u201cThe Boys\u201d universe and can actually have gore and death, it suddenly works. The brief fight between Marie Moreau (Jan Sinclair) and Rufus (Alexander Calvert) will go down in history as the most disgusting, and memorable, moment in \u201cThe Boys\u201d universe.<\/p>\n

FUNNIEST SHOWS OF THE YEAR<\/h2>\n

‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel; (Prime)<\/strong> \u2014 One of the most enjoyable television shows ever made has come to an end, and while the flash-forwards took too long to get used to, it was a nice end to a very funny series.<\/p>\n

‘The Gilded Age’ (HBO)<\/strong> \u2014 It’s true that most of the show’s humor comes courtesy of the brilliant Christine Baranski as Aunt Agnes and co-star Carrie Coon’s 1,001 versions of \u201cpout,\u201d but the show as a whole is very funny.<\/p>\n

‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ (Prime)<\/strong> \u2014 This High Fantasy Dungeons and Dragons-based comedy had a brilliant first season and the second, while not as funny, offered a deeper and better storyline while keeping much of the humor. High Fantasy humor should be such low-hanging fruit, but it\u2019s amazing how few get it right. \u201cVox Machina\u201d loves the genre and knows just how to mine those laughs.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Big Mouth’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 The show’s second-to-last season put it right back on track with a perfect mix of sweet, raunchy humor and lessons about life and sex. Few of us want to be 14 years old again and face high school, and this show captures that challenge to perfection.<\/p>\n

‘Disenchantment’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 The show’s final season reminded us why it never lived up to its predecessors, \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d and \u201cFuturama.\u201d The series didn’t grasp how to do High Fantasy humor as well as it could\u2019ve. It still had its moments, and the animation was stunning.<\/p>\n

BEST LOVE STORIES<\/h2>\n

‘Perry Mason’ (HBO)<\/strong> \u2014 Sadly, they\u2019ve canceled the show, but a good little love story was brewing between Perry Mason (Matthew Rhys) and Ginny Aimes (Katherine Waterston). I guess we\u2019ll never know how it turns out.<\/p>\n

‘The Last of Us’ (HBO)<\/strong> \u2014 The much talked about romance between survivalist Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett) was contained in a single episode. Like all good love stories, the bond was both sad and endearing.<\/p>\n

‘The Diplomat’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 The tension, the history, the grudges and the love come through between CIA station chief Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) and her equally talented husband Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell). Their chemistry makes this show special. Is it just me or does Russell have chemistry with every co-star she\u2019s ever had? She is amazing.<\/p>\n

‘Sex Education’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 The most frustrating love story highlights the tension between Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) and Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey). It wasn’t resolved in the fourth and final season, and while I was rooting for them to get together I thought Otis and Ruby Matthews (Mimi Keene) made a better match.<\/p>\n

‘Good Omens 2’ (Prime)<\/strong> \u2014 What\u2019s a little love between a demon and an archangel? It takes a long time to get there, but by the last episode you realize that it’s the forbidden love between Gabriel (Jon Hamm) and Beelzbub (Shelley Conn) that’s driving season two’s action.<\/p>\n

SCARIEST TV SHOWS<\/h2>\n

‘Fall of the House of the Usher’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 Parts of the show were genuinely chilling, from the scene in the hospital to that very creepy cat.<\/p>\n

‘The Last of Us’ (HBO)<\/strong> \u2014 For a show about the apocalypse you\u2019d think there would\u2019ve been more scares, but you have to wait until the end of season one for unsettling bits like the hospital scenes. Maybe it\u2019s hospitals that I don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

’30 Coins’ (Max)<\/strong> \u2014 Season one had more legit scares, but this season’s depictions of Hell are fantastically done and truly a place you don\u2019t want to be… even in your imagination.<\/p>\n

‘Twisted Metal’ (Peacock)<\/strong> \u2014 Okay, so we’re seeing a theme here. The show’s hospital scene creeped me out.<\/p>\n

‘Sex Education’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 I say this with tongue in cheek, but the progressive school Otis (Asa Butterfield) attends is nightmare fuel.<\/p>\n

BEST SOAP OPERAS FOR GROWN UPS OR AMERICAN TELENOVELAS<\/h2>\n

‘Full Circle’ (HBO)<\/strong> \u2014 Timothy Olyphant enjoyed a revival year (“Full Circle,” “Justified: City Primeval”) and the former was the better of the two. Still, it felt like I was watching daytime TV back when I was a bartender and my then-girlfriend would come over with breakfast and turn on her soaps. The show was that silly.<\/p>\n

‘The Diplomat’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 This show hearkened back to classic nighttime soaps like \u201cDallas\u201d and \u201cDynasty\u201d given the tension between the main characters.<\/p>\n

‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 This unabashed soap opera is fun to watch.<\/p>\n

‘Billions’ (Showtime)<\/strong> \u2014 The series didn\u2019t start out this way, but the last few seasons saw it transform into a nighttime soap.<\/p>\n

‘Lady Voyeur’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 This actual telenovela from Brazil kept my attention.<\/p>\n

FIVES SHOWS THAT COULD\u2019VE BEEN BETTER<\/h2>\n

‘Florida Man’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 Lots of talent here, but the show’s dialogue and story betrayed them.<\/p>\n

‘Justified: City Primeval’ (FX)<\/strong> \u2014 Um, we wanted a shootout.<\/p>\n

The Continental: A John Wick Story (Peacock)<\/strong> \u2014 If you watched just the first part it was great, but the “John Wick” spin-off went downhill every minute, scratch that, every second afterward.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

‘The Consultant’ (Prime)<\/strong> \u2014 The first three episodes hooked me, but by the end I wasn\u2019t sure what was going on and, even worse, I no longer cared.<\/p>\n

‘The Witcher: Blood Origin’ (Netflix)<\/strong> \u2014 Wow, has Netflix killed a great property. The acting talent is there but the stars are let down by the writers and show runner.<\/p>\n
