Netflix has the best series on Netflix

Derry girls

Genre: Teen sitcom/dark comedy
Creator: Lisa McGee
Cast: Saoirse Jackson, Louisa Harland and Nicola Coughlan

My colleague Zosha Millman described Derry girls episodes as “impeccably designed Rube Goldberg machines,” and I haven’t been able to shake that description since. Derry girlsFollow the adventures of some troublemaking young people in Derry, Northern Ireland. Set against the background of the Troubles. It’s a fun and breezy 20ish-minute comedy filled with belly laughs and surprising moments of deep emotion, especially when the girls’ lives intersect with the broader conflict happening outside their door. It’s one of the funniest comedies on Netflix, and an easy selection for this list. —Pete Volk

Reservation Dogs

Genre: Teen drama/comedy
Creators: Sterlin Harjo, Taika Waititi
Cast: Devery Jacobs, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Lane Factor

Our No. The No. 10. 10 best show was 2022. My personal vote was 3. Reservation Dogs is a wonderful thing — a show about misfits living on a reservation in Oklahoma who want nothing more than to get far the hell away… until that far-the-hell-away becomes actually tangible. The show is produced by Taika Waititi, but it’s blissfully detached from his (and very exhausting) humor. Instead, the award-winning filmmaker SterlinHarjo shines through, as well as a cast of dynamic characters. (The most recent season featured a memorable guest appearance). Prey Star Amber Midthunder and legendary Gary Farmer, Wes Studi all have funny recurring roles —PV

Prime Video’s top TV

A League of Their Own

Genre:Comedy/drama about period sports
Creators: Will Graham, Abbi Jacobson
Cast: Abbi Jacobson, Chanté Adams, D’Arcy Carden

A League of Their OwnThe movie is a classic. It’s got good story, a lot of heart, and an ensemble cast that packed a punch in every corner. A League of Their OwnThe TV series works because of all these same reasons. But because it’s a show, we get to spend more time in the world, explore women’s baseball for Black women too, dig into the queerness of the era, and go long on just how much work actually goes into pulling together a baseball team from scratch. There’s still no crying in baseball, but it’s nice to explore the classic world of A League of Their OwnYou can add a little bit of nuance to your message and make it more personal. time. You may not consider it a classic. yet,But a girl can have dreams. —Zosha Millman

It’s also good to: Paper Girls, After one season, the adaptation of a comic about a Sci-Fi coming-of age story was cancelled. Reacher, a detective series that asks the important question, “What if Sherlock Holmes was absolutely massive?”

HBO Max: The Best New TV

House of the Dragon

Genre: Fantasy/drama
Creators: Ryan Condal, George R.R. Martin
Cast: Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy

It’s not easy for aPrequel to escape the long shadow of its originator, but HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel House of the DragonIt was easy. It takes place hundreds of years before the events that took place in Game of Thrones and builds its own independent and unique cast of characters whose plots, schemes, and betrayals make for fantastic television no matter how much time you’ve spent in Westeros. In the show’s first season, which aired in fall 2022, it sets up the two warring factions at the heart of a civil war, and sets the stage for a massive dragon-filled fight that should fill its next three seasons. —Austen Goslin

It’s also good to: Rehearsal, Nathan Fielder’s social experiment disguised as a TV show.

Disney Plus has the best TVs

Andor

Genre: Sci-fi/adventure
Creator: Tony Gilroy
Cast: Diego Luna, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona

This is not only one of Star Wars’s best shows, but it also has the highest ratings. AndorIt holds the exclusive distinction of being the No. The No. 1 slot on our 2022 list is the most coveted. Either of those two facts alone warrants the show’s inclusion on this list, but combined, that well-earned place feels all but mandatory. Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) returns to the Star Wars after his turn as co-screenwriter on 2016’s Rogue OneThis is a look at the origin story that the Rebel Alliance and the Captain eponymous are sharing. Star Wars fanatics associate Star Wars with rote and Easter egg-laden iconography. Instead, the series adopts a more humanistic aesthetic that takes the universe’s stakes as seriously as those who are its underdogs.

Diego Luna, much like his character, Cassian Andor, is the perfect leading man for the job, while Stellan S​​karsgård’s supporting performance as the cunning rebellion ringleader Luthen Rael has quickly asserted itself as one of the best characters to come out of Star Wars since Disney acquired the property in 2012. It takes three or so episodes to shift into full gear, but once it does, it’s a exhilarating journey you’ll want to see through to the end. —Toussaint Egan

Paramount Plus: The Best New TV

Players

Genre: Mockumentary/drama
Creators:Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault
Cast: Misha Brooks, Da’Jour Jones, Ely Henry

Going back to the ol’ “where we ranked this versus where You did” discussion, Players This was the No. Our No. 8 show in 2022 was also our No. 8 show of 2022, but No. This should come as no surprise to me, I’m sure. Players I felt that Paramount Plus was a blessing when this laser-targeted email arrived at my home. It’s really quite good.

Players This is the mockuseries of some brilliant artists. American Vandal This show is one of Netflix’s most popular, following the adventures of a North American fictitious character. League of Legends Drama between the two stars of its team, and their team. You will hear me tell you that this is the area I used to report on. League of Legends Professionally, this includes the North American league. So it’s no surprIse at all that I took to this show, but it is Surprise! Many of my friends, who were completely uninterested in the subject matter, found it surprising. League (or professional) LeagueIt was delightful to read. Reader, you’re next! —PV

Apple TV Plus has the best TVs

Severance

Genre: Sci-fi/psychological thriller
Creator: Dan Erickson
Cast: Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower

Severance’s stark science fiction take on the modern workplace, in which employees of a company known as Lumon undergo the titular “severance” procedure to have their consciousness split in two, is one of the most remarkably unsettling conceits in a show. Under severance, one half of a person’s identity, known as the “innie,” is the person they are at work, doing mundane tasks and punching out at the requisite time. When they step in the elevator to go home, however, they become their “outie” — the person who exists outside of the workplace, perhaps with a family, a lover, or a hobby. Innies and outies do not know anything about each other, by design — an almost benign-seeming way to exploit the people who work for you.

A favorite of critics at Polygon as well as elsewhere. Severance speaks directly to a vague sense of unrest that’s becoming palpable in workplaces around the world, but it’s also just a damn good thriller. It’s uneasy with its bleak humor and constant dose of intrigue. Severance has style and substance — a quietly angry show for an increasingly angry time. —Joshua Rivera

Peacock’s best TV

Girls5eva

Genre: Musical/comedy
Creator: Meredith Scardino
Cast: Sara Bareilles, Busy Philipps, Paula Pell

It can sometimes feel like modern American comedies forgot the part where you’re supposed to have jokes. “Comedy” can feel synonymous with “feel-good entertainment” rather than “funny entertainment,” seemingly looking to provoke slight smiles rather than belly laughs.

Nobody can tell you. Girls5eva. The heir apparent 30 Rock This comedy is a laugh-out-loud entertainment industry comedy. It follows members from a former girl band who decide to reunite and make this all work. The show has it all: It’s surprising, it’s funny, it’s delirious (complimentary), and it has a banger theme that will stick in your brain for eternity. —PV
