She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Netflix)

more or less the only show I've watched this year

as such I won't be voting but someone should

Maniac would be my number one but oops that was 2018

If you want to see it, Vote for it. One or two show ballots welcome; we will work out an offsetting points method

Sherman's Showcase (IFC/Hulu) <- Go watch this, it's good.

A Series of Unfortunate Events (Netflix)

Perpetual Grace, Ltd. (Epix)

^^ cannot stress enough how brilliant this series is.

― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 10 December 2019 09:12 (three days ago) link

fuck I loved this dude's other show (patriot), how did I not hear about this

some obvious Netflix ones

Aggretsuko (Netflix)
Derry Girls (Channel 4, UK) (Also Netflix)
Queer Eye (Netflix)
Sex Education (Netflix)
Stranger Things (Netflix)

I'm sure nobody else has been watching it, but I'm gonna nominate The Bonus Family (Netflix) anyway.

your conversation about it had me add it to my queue. what's the draw?

lol, i watched five minutes of Perpetual Grace with my partner and she muttered "i don't know what the fuck is going on here" and wandered off so it looks like i'm gonna have to try this one on my own.

Ha! Here for assistance, moral support etc

your conversation about it had me add it to my queue. what's the draw?

Lots of things. The baroque interlocking relationships of the various characters (at one point, one person introduces herself to another at a party by saying something like "I'm your boyfriend's ex's husband's first wife") is hilarious, but I also find the portrait of Swedish society in general very interesting and funny, plus I enjoy listening to the language as a study aid.

Little nudge here and am nominating:

Mum (BBC2)
Infinity Train (Cartoon Network)

Just watched Undone, maybe my least favorite universally beloved series of the year

does that mean you didn't like it or just in comparison to the universal beloveding

Brockmire (IFC)
Fake or Fortune (BBC)
The Kominsky Method (Netflix)
The Repair Shop (BBC)
Techmoan (Youtube)
Yorkshire Walks (BBC)

Forgot about brockmire! Certainly top 25

I think of 63 Up as a movie, but would concede to UK viewers if it is seen there as more of a short TV series.

does that mean you didn't like it or just in comparison to the universal beloveding

somewhere in between? idk I liked some moments here and there but by the end it just sort of fell flat for me

The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)

i found undone occasionally predictable, as it hews close to tropes, but extremely satisfying nonetheless

think of 63 Up as a movie, but would concede to UK viewers if it is seen there as more of a short TV series.

This and 56 Up were three episodes; most of the other adult ones have been two episodes.

I wouldn't have even bothered nominating it but I remembered that there's at least like two other ILXors who recognize its (late) greatness so

The OA (Netflix)

i can't defend this as it is objectively horrible (the description of "aggretsuko for manbabies"isn't necessarily wrong) but it's kinda worth throwing into the mix imo
Africa no Salaryman (Tokyo FX)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmXjkKnXo8M

Well, since Esmail had to go and actually wrap things up in a satisfactory enough fashion that I've gone from side-eyeing the whole endeavor to thinking that I might conceivably recommend it to the uninitiated with minimal reservations

Mr. Robot (USA)

the OA was a spectacular series. awful it's gone.

Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing (BBC)

Well, since Esmail had to go and actually wrap things up in a satisfactory enough fashion that I've gone from side-eyeing the whole endeavor to thinking that I might conceivably recommend it to the uninitiated with minimal reservations

Mr. Robot (USA)

― Drive Like a Demon From Steakhouse to Steakhouse (Old Lunch), Tuesday, December 31, 2019 3:55 AM (seven hours ago)

I was well into this but that second season was lame (could see the BIG TWIST a mile off and I'm generally terrible at spotting these things). Ive been reliably informed by friends that its gotten much better

Tiny, forgotten comedy series that I in 2019:

Don't forget the driver (bbc2)

Dead pixels (ch4)

Zomboat (ITV2)

I predict 0 votes for all the above.
