Huh. My preferred go-to list is the Guardian's annual 50 Best Shows of [year]. They drop the first 40 in batches of 10 (50-41, 40-31, etc.) and when they get to the top 10, it's a daily reveal. Today was batch 20-11, so we start the top 10 tomorrow. Here's the link if anyone's interested: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/dec/01/the-50-best-tv-shows-of-2023

Anyway, to get back to this list...

Shows I've never heard of: 6
Shows I've heard of but had zero interest in checking out: 14
Shows I tried to get into but just didn't work for me: 5, including the top 4 on the list
Shows I will probably eventually watch but haven't gotten around to yet: 3
Shows I've actually watched and liked: 2 (Dark Winds and Party Down)

Shows that are missing -- everything I did watch and really enjoyed from this year! To name the few that actually come to mind this early in the morning: Colin from Accounts, Silo, Foundation s2, Star Trek Strange New Worlds s2, Hijack, The Piano, Outlander s7 first half, Welcome to Wrexham s2, Big Door Prize, The Winter King... Most of those are fairly recent viewing so I'm forgetting loads that I watched at the start of the year. Plus there are several that I know will be very good, but haven't started watching yet, e.g. the latest seasons of For All Mankind and Slow Horses.
