Yeah, I thought it built really well on the first season, and it was definitely one of my top 10 or so shows this year.

My experience with WandaVision was definitely different from yours. Until the disappointing finale (and even that had its moments), it was one of my favorite shows this year.  Because of the finish I do consider it a flawed season, but to me, at least, not a forgettable one.

Any excuse to mention Schitt’s Creek is a good one.  Very funny and yet also at root very humane.

I thought The White Lotus was fun and well-done. It was probably a top 25 show for me, not sure top 15, definitely not top 10.

I definitely thought FTWS was the weakest of the live action series. It had some moments, but it was not nearly as exciting to me as WV or Loki, nor as consistently good as Hawkeye. I thought it was particularly weak in the ending, which WV and Loki also had issues with.  But in their cases they had earned much more…

As I suggested in another post, I would probably start with Sex Lives of College Girls as the biggest omission on this list. That was incredibly well done, right up there with Hacks for me, and definitely ahead of The Other Two.

Interesting. I found It’s a Sin to be very emotionally affecting, but maybe I am just an easy mark.

Yeah, Sex Lives of College Girls was one of my favorite things I watched all year. Very funny, surprising depth, and just fantastic performances from the cast, both main and supporting.

I would have WandaVision ahead of Hawkeye prior to the finale, but I agree with you that Hawkeye could pull ahead for me if it finishes better.

Same. I identified/bonded with Peter Parker/Spiderman when I was myself a kid, and Holland’s Spiderman is the only (live action) one who really captured my original sense of the character. I like Raimi as a director, and while I liked his first couple movies well enough as their own thing, I think that lack of…

Yeah, Monica is SUCH a Charlotte . . . .

Yeah, it was a little strange to imply her big break came with SATC in 1998, when it really happened in 1995 with Melrose.

I like a lot of people in the cast, so I feel somewhat bad I immediately thought of Norsemen, the Norwegian TV comedy.

Yeah, it is basically a loving family, and community, she is coming from, but the way that caring is expressed all just ends of feeding the enormous pressure she is feeling. Of course there is some real edge to it too—things like the reaction of other women when Kim Beckett asks if she had a boyfriend . . . or…

“We are naming our daughter after what we hope she will accomplish in the future.  And our hope is she will star in a frontier drama,” said the parents of Isabel May.

I’ll admit I laughed way too much at myself for understanding the Jamie Farr and Sally Struthers jokes.

That Global Warming Christmas sketch being 30 years old is just flat out depressing. But, Phil Hartman!

That is tough to watch, in the best way. Just a lot of raw, honest expression that appropriately captures the importance of these moments and the understandable mix of emotions they produce.

I think the costuming has generally worked best in the Tower scenes and the battle scenes, which share in common that the people involved are in some sort of uniform.

Ha, I am finally getting around to bingeing Agents of Shield, and I felt the same association between Rand and Ward.  It takes a certain amount of commitment to the long form of television to have a main character come across as so thin for so long before revealing the hidden depth.  And this is probably a good…
