great pick... great pick.

> Severance

I'd have to see with Severance. All the other shows I picked have self-contained stories... where as, they wouldn't necessarily need a 2nd season (though second seasons of Squid Game and Blindspotting are coming), but Severance is the kind of series where it all goes down the drain if they aren't able to give us a payoff that's both satisfying and makes sense. kno what i mean?

> I can't tell if it just hasn't aged as well

When I watched The Sopranos for the first time in 2018 this was my exact thought as well. I quit right after finishing season 2 as well.

I don't know, at the time when I watched it, I just thought everything I was seeing in The Sopranos I'd seen done much more interestingly in other modern crime-dramas. I won't deny that it's groundbreaking though, but at that point (2018) I think it might've lost a lot of its appeal/value.

I will say though, out of the 2 seasons I watch, I saw 2 episodes that were really outstanding. Masterpieces even. One was titled "College". I don't remember the title of the other one.

velma is hbo max, not hbo.

yes... yes... a million times, yes. loved insatiable.

im also i huge Gantz fan. half way through the manga (which honestly I've been putting off finishing for years lol).

i mean... it's still television though... why make that (what's the word i'm looking for here?)

most shows get cancelled after one season too anyways... do those count?

😅 bruh... are you stalking me?

plus, i feel like you're taking me way too seriously. especially with the comments. im fuckin' around most of the time. but yes, i will defend shows i love to death when there are disagreeing comments. ain't nothing wrong with that. 🤷🏾‍♂️

i don't see the issue here. if you just pretend all these posts are from different users, they're just the average posts you see everyday on this sub. 😅

so what you're saying here is... read the manga? 😅

some of these posts were suppose to be posted during the week but i got lazy, thus the spamming. im sorry, my bad. im done for now though.

Why did I see this the day I was planning to start writing my Top 25 of 2022 listicle? 😅 Well at least I won't need help with mine I guess.

yea Severance is definitely top 5 of the year... but it alone can't make an entire year great.

lol i never implied otherwise. that bitch is like cardboard to me.

yea im not fond of any of those names you mention there. but especially daisy edgar jones. she's so boring. she makes my pussy dry. can't deal with having to look at her for however long this series is. lol.

I'll check out Black Bird. I don't like what im seeing there in the casting for Under the Banner...

Hey if you think it was, who's to argue? 🤷🏾‍♂️ I haven't seen Slow Horses, We Own the City, Black Bird and Under the Banner of Heaven so maybe those are what's missing from my viewing history for me to consider this a great year? Idk.

No I don't think animation is any more successful than what it's always been. And maybe a few live-action shows were postponed, but it's not like we had any noticeable shortage of selections.

what's your beef with Demon Slayer?? 😂 it's a widely beloved show.

But yea Demon Slayer and the 3 others I said in that first reply were just the first ones I thought of in the moment. I knew there were plenty other options I could've chose (thus why i put "etc").

> I can't deny any "impact" I'm unaware of.

don't you watch the show, or are you just not linked to the anime fandom like that? i'm not either as im just a casual, but even i know there hasn't been a bigger anime than demon slayer since demon slayer. it's one that really broke out mainstream. even the Japanese prime minister cosigned it.

> And I only listed 1 show because this article already lists plenty of examples.

i mean yea there'll always be plenty of examples in any given year, but my point is i could list even more and better examples for 2019. 😅

bruh i've been watching close to 100, sometimes 100+ shows a year since 2016 - 2017. and believe me... 2019 is a strong fucking year! I forgot to mention Watchmen came out that year. Fuck... The Boys came out that year too! It was a solid year whether you like anime, k-drama, prestige drama or even avant-garde television. solid year.

> Bro you can't say all that and then start with Demon Slayer. It's pretty but just generic shonen anime

you wildin' 😅 but whatever you think about demon slayer... you can't deny its impact.

Better Call Saul is just one show though... when i implied 2019 being a much better year than 2022, it's about how many good shows there were and how good those good shows were.

2019 was fuckin' great dawg. I'm just remembering everything, but to add more: The 2nd seasons of both The OA and Succession dropped that year (arguably their best seasons). Looking For Alaska was fucking great too. The Promised Neverland was incredible (before it fell off in season 2). etc. etc.

because the good shows were reeeeeeaaally fucking good and left an impact.

that year we had Demon Slayer, Euphoria, Crash Landing on You etc. also personal hidden gems like Too Old to Die Young etc. And a whole lot more I'm forgetting. TV just went into creative overdrive.

As someone who've been watchin' shows religiously for like a decade now, trust me 2014 and 2019 are the best years in television over the past decade.

edit: why the downvotes? 😐

"ridiculously good"? nah... 2019 was ridiculously good. this year was just ok imo.

either way, this is surprisingly a pretty good list that covers a lot.

😂😂😂 bruh i literally just came across this show awhile ago. decided not to add it my to-watch list. guess i made the right decision.

I liked My Dress-up Darling. I needa catch up on the new season of My Hero Academia too. But...

I didn't watch much anime this year, and honestly, I don't think a lot of anime got buzz this year. And when I say buzz I mean the kind of buzz that would attract casual anime viewers like myself.

Spy x Family, My Dress-up Darling and Chainsaw Man are the only ones that seem to have had any buzz outside the hardcore anime fandom this year tbh.

not at all.
