Counting Down
Though last year I shared my
top 5 TV shows of 2020 and expressed hope for a better 2021, this year has also provided downtime for us to watch TV, whether we wanted to or not. But as a silver lining, this year also became one of top notch television. Once again, records were broken. Viewers tuned in for a surprise international hit on Netflix and this year also saw the record for the
greatest number of original series. A lot of great shows debuted throughout the year with a few heavy hitters arriving towards the end. As such, I'm limiting this list to shows that finished airing at least one season this year (sorry,
Yellowjackets and
Station Eleven). But that still made for many great options to choose from. Whatever 2022 may have in store for us, here are five great TV shows to check out if you haven't seen them already.
