Top 10 ish new series of 2022 ( rather than returning series )

In no particular order.

Slow Horses
Andor
Station 11
House of The Dragon
The Old Man
We Own This City
The Dropout
1883
Tokyo Vice
Severance


Worst -
Echo 3
Obi Wan
Halo
The Terminal List
Resident Evil
 
Solid list tbf, expected to click on the thread and rolleyes - haven't seen Slow Horses/Dropout/1883 yet but are on my list - no personal interest in Station 11

Severance was somewhat dragged out in the middle and could easily have been 5 episodes but was a very good watch regardless.

I'd agree with 2 of your worst shows.

Slow Horses is a lot better than the reviews I saw when S1 came out. Only watched it recently after seeing the ads for season 2.

Didnt know the Theranos story bar a few news reports, so The Dropout is quite the eye opener ( if everything dramatised is accurate ) and Amanda Seyfried is brilliant.

If anyones a Conan O'Brien fan and has seen The Dropout , this clip gets very amusing about halfway through.



Stick everything Marvel into the worst list.

Not a Marvel fan full stop ... bar Blade which doesnt really count and the 1st Guardians of the Galaxy was fun, in fact i'm firmly in the Martin Scorsese camp re Marvel films ( please dont kill me ) , so havent really watched any of them.

Got to be Stranger Things but I also really enjoyed 1899 and Archive 81 (rip)
Can't remember what else actually came out this year tbh

Oh Sandman! Tough call between that and Stranger Things

Off the top of my head:

Stranger Things S4
Cobra Kai S5
Severance
Obi Wan Kenobi
Money Heist Korea


rp2000
 
The Boys Season 3
Moon Knight
Peacemaker
Lower Decks
Currently finding The Peripheral ok.

A couple of series didn't live up to expectations.

Westworld
Stranger Things
Picard

Feels like Star Trek and Star Wars overload at the moment. Gone from having to wait 30 years for an episode to a daily dose of Neighbours.

New TV shows? Peacemaker.

Still need to watch House of Dragons.

Apart from that I did enjoy the return to form of Stranger Things
 
Mine: in no particular order
I really like fiction/fantasy! :D

Great:
Arcane:
I know arcane was end of 2021 but it's (probably) the best TV series I've ever watched. Thought it was absolutely amazing.

Castlevania season 4:
Another released in 2021 but watched in 2022. My favourite TV series in ages. Thought it was brilliant. Its niche audience for sure. But for me couldn't be better.

1899:
really liked this. Kind of thought it was going where it did. But many surprises. Definitely recommend.

Stranger things s4 :
good, but I do think it's starting to get less great and more good. Still love it though.

Moon knight:
one of the two great thing from D+. Really surprised by what it turned out to be. By a long way favourite thing on D+

Sandman:
one of my top 3 of the year. Its exactly the sort of show I like. Weird and quirky and fantasy. Yeah. Loved this.

Wednesday:
great spin off from addams family. Captures some of the weird. Maybe not weird enough but minor criticism. Well done series. Can see the broad audience appeal!

Wanda vision:
pretty good, WTF and almost turned out off after episode 1. But so many people said it gets better. Not a marvel fan anymore but this was really interesting.

Mandalorian:
decent start wars series and I prefer it too films. Star wars works better as series with film add ons (like star trek) not sure why it's taken so long to make series!

Ok:
Dota
, season 3:
other seasons were better, got chaotic and crazy. But worth watching to finish it off.

Locke and key - final season:
better than some of the others. But always felt this show was a let down. Always felt what the characters did was frustrating "why would anyone do that?" and obvious actions taken by characters to fulfil a later plot point.

House of dragon:
just not that exciting to me. Not finished it yet. Felt like a period drama not a fantasy. The fantasy element is kind of irrelevant.

Resident evil:
expected cheese and trash. Got cheese and trash. OK. It is what it is.

Snow piercer season 3:
can't quite put this in great, but feels better than ok

Witcher:
I
ncluded as its end of 2021, never really got on with this show. Jumps around, doesn't tell you the place on the screen (ie in words) time frame or location and seems to deliberately make it difficult to understand. Shame as its usually the type of show I love.

Bad:
Cabinet of curiosities:
expected much better, only watched 2 of them

D+ in general:
had a 6 month free trial so ditched Netflix for this. Lasted 4 months and got Netflix back. Didn't continue with D+. Huge disappointment really. 3 good shows!

Forgot about Peacemaker, probably a top 10 ish for me as well. The Peripheral was also pretty good.

Not watched 1899 yet, started watching Archive 81 before cancelling Netflix , but have Netflix again so should watch both through.

Started watching Dahmer which is extremely well made , but its so utterly bleak and cold i've only managed to get through 3 episodes so far.
