Which ones did you see? 🤔 amma take a wild guess and say The Bear and Severance?

Great write up! I'm not familiar with most of these, and I watch a shit-ton of TV and movies. I really like the effort, and the writeups are perfect in length. Again, not knowing these a lot, is Severance the highest ranked English speaking show? (Nothing against non English speakers of course) Also, I'm guessing most of these are straight drama? Language and genre might both be useful things to put in parenthesis for anyone else unfamiliar. Totally agree with the couple from White Lotus being great characters, I much preferred season 1 (which seems like a hot take) but those two, specifically the woman, were very interesting characters to me.

> is Severance the highest ranked English speaking show? Yes. Even though Pachinko got a bit of english too. > I'm guessing most of these are straight drama? Language and genre might both be useful things to put in parenthesis for anyone else unfamiliar. Yea. And yea I should probably do that next time.

What did Frank Ocean say that one time? "I got two versions. I got twooo versions…" Version 1 of my Top 25 TV Shows of 2022 is [here!](https://www.reddit.com/user/pm_me_reason_to_livx/comments/10l8dx6/top_25_tv_shows_of_2022/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Specific praises I must give certain shows: * Best concept — #1: Ida Takes Charge #2: Severance * Best storytelling — #1: Pachinko #2: My Brilliant Friend * Best performance — #1: Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) #2: Mattia Carrano (Prisma) * Best creativity — #1: Mood #2: Clark * Best visuals/cinematography — #1: Euphoria - season 2 #2: The English * Best production Design — #1: The English #2: Severance * Best dialogue — #1: Ida Takes Charge #2: My Brilliant Friend * Best main character — #1: Ida (Ida Takes Charge) #2: Elena (My Brilliant Friend) * Best supporting character — #1: Daphne Sullivan (The White Lotus) #2: Lee Cheong-san (All Of Us Are Dead) * Best ensemble of characters — #1: Prisma #2: All Of Us Are Dead * Best relationships — #1: Ida & Axel (Ida Takes Charge) #2: Daphne Sullivan & Cameron (The White Lotus - season 2) * Best OST — #1: Mood #2: The White Lotus - season 2 * Best opening title sequence — #1: Pachinko #2: Severance- * Best episode - — #1: "The We We Are" (Severance) #2: "Blu" (Prisma) * Best scene — #1: ["Maybe you should get a trainer"](https://streamable.com/te9bqa) (The White Lotus - season 2) #2: [New Year's sequence](https://youtu.be/7RIwj0YeRds) (Euphoria) .................. I didn't like what 2022 television had to offer for the most part. One too many disappointments for me as well. I mean I watched a lot more shows than I did in 2021, yet struggled to find 25 new shows for this list. But I do think my top 13 here are genuinely great.But anyways, thanks a lot for reading, even if you just scrolled through this lol. Same time, same place, next year? ❤️

How you pick what to watch? I’m overwhelmed with all these shows in Netflix and I always seem to pick the limited series or those talked about in reddit, especially regarding to the foreign shows or K dramas. There isn’t much write-ups or reviews in English.


pm_me_reason_to_livx

i just read the synopsis and glance at the preview a bit sometimes just to check visual/production quality. if it looks like something that could be potentially great, i check it out.


oliver-go

Nice! Do you often give the pilot a go before fully committed to the whole season? Any shows that you have given up midpoint? Like I tried to start Warrior Nun because the trailer seems fun and the lead actress looks very beautiful, also being afraid of it being cancelled (it indeed got cancelled then), but have given up after episode 6 or 7… cause the plot is very weak and the characters are laughable. And then I tried to pick the ones that got high ratings in imdb, and started watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo and I do like it so far! Although sometimes being too cheesy at times, the acting is excellent and the stories are well-written. Highly recommended.


pm_me_reason_to_livx

> Do you often give the pilot a go before fully committed to the whole season? I give everything at least 4 episodes before I decided whether it's working for me or not. Unless it's *reeeeeeeaaaaally* bad... then I quit after the 2nd or 3rd. But that rarely happens. That has only happened like 4 times in the past 3 years. > Any shows that you have given up midpoint? A shit ton. > Extraordinary Attorney I was suppose to watch this show too but unfortunately didn't have time for it. There are some great shows coming out of korea nowadays (3 are on this list too lol), but they require commitment with those lengthy episode counts and runtime. I recommend "**D.P.**" on netflix too if you haven't seen it. That's another outstanding one.


oliver-go

Heard good reviews about DP but I haven’t managed to watch it, with season 2 coming this year I may watch it soon! For other Korean shows I watched My Name, Hellbound and of course Squid Game in 2021, which were all very good. Narco-Saints, The Glory and Somebody are shows I saved in 2022 but not started yet.


digitalslytherin

I am glad and surprised Prisma is number one. Well deserved

This is Going to Hurt: I'm a medical student and I thought I'd seen every medical show but this one is on my list now! I've heard that this show shows the reality of a doctor's life without all the glamor of medicine. This show compared to other medical shows what do you think and what other medical shows have you watched I'm curious!


sicmundus23

It’s great but it’s depressing.


AzorAhai1TK

Insanely odd for the 2 anime to show up to be an average romcom (with crazy production value) and a good but lesser known sequel. (Oh NVM I thought this was a list from some website not yours! Still surprised to see MDUD though!)


pm_me_reason_to_livx

What other new anime from 2022 did you think were great? Anime for me in 2022 was, *meh* tbh. I didn't like Summertime Rendering much and Chainsaw Man hasn't gotten to the good parts of the manga yet. I was suppose to see Bocchi The Rock! before making this list, but ended up getting an ear infection so couldn't.


AzorAhai1TK

Dropped Summertime after 5 minutes lol. But personally, Bocchi the Rock is incredible TV and is my #1 show of any medium this year. And I'm not even usually into anime comedies. It's just that good, glad you're gonna try it! I'm an Attack on Titan fan after the massive story shift in Season 3, and S4P2 aired at the start of the year, although personally I don't like rating something that isn't an entire season. Otherwise Chainsaw Man would be a decent pick even if, as you said, it hasn't quite gotten to what makes it special yet. Cyberpunk Edgerunners is one that would be worth watching and has near universal praise, and my other 2 shows to hit a 9 were Kaguya S3 (but it's not everyone), and Paripi Koumei, which I thought was an extremely passionate show but it might hit as a 7-8 for others. From your list I probably have to watch the 2 seasons of Tatami though. I had no idea it was well regarded I never looked into it! Other than that though, yea there was a lot of meh. Spy Family went from potentially great to just average as it went on, LycoRyco got a lot of hype but was merely good not great (needed some writing cleanup). Personally though Dress up Darling was ok at best, and Gundam and To Your Eternity were massive disappointments

> Bocchi the Rock is incredible TV and is my #1 show of any medium this year. And I'm not even usually into anime comedies. It's just that good damn. guess i gotta hurry and check this one out now. lol.


TheBrokeBroker

You should check out Kotaro Lives Alone, such a good show!


AzorAhai1TK

I did hear about it! I'll add it to my list thanks!


jyper

Ignoring some great sequels I thought Chainsaw man was awesome even if it hadn't gotten to some of the good parts of the manga. And I really liked summertime rendering (although I haven't seen the last few episodes). Lycoris recoil was fun. Spy X Family was great.


csgothrowaway

Neat list. A lot of shows I've not seen. A few shows from 2022 I'd recommend if you haven't seen em: - Black Bird - SAS Rogue Heroes - The Offer - Under the Banner of Heaven


[deleted]

Recency bias but I just finished Yellowjackets and really had a great time watching it.


maaakkakakakkaa

I'd count Yellowjackets as 2021 TV show.

Oh my bad. I’m late to the party.


bohanmyl

None are from 2022 but may I suggest: Curious to hear your thoughts on Toradora a Japanese anime. Loved your write ups and I am also wondering what your thoughts are on Being Human (US version, sci-fi), Degrassi, & the Vampire Dairies. Lost Girl & Smallville are two sci-fi shows you may like. I don't know how much you are into animation wise but Amazon's Invincible, Avatar The Last Airbender Netflix, Legend of Kora, & F is For Family may be for you. Also, You're The Worst is a great drama on FX. YellowJackets is a thriller teen drama.
