Hello! I hope everyone had a good holiday season. At the time of writing this article, I am just hours away from the new year. I promise I am completely sober. 2020 was the year to binge-watch everything. Staying home really did a number on my viewing history. This year I really got to see a lot of good shows on my various different platforms. I want to quickly mention some of the shows I watched over the year and quickly give my opinion in one sentence or less. Here we go!



Netflix - Ok so Netflix needs to keep up with the competition. They do not have a lot of shows with a big budget, and they are not really marketing the right stuff. I have to scroll for hours before finding anything.


- Schitt's Creek: I told my landlord I ran out of things to watch she said: "Have you seen Schitt's Creek?". After about 10 episodes I was hooked.


- Ozark: This is one of those shows that is top 5 for me. It does not feel like a Netflix show because it is so damn good.


- The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Good, not great


- Grey's Anatomy: Yea, this show is crack. I am Christina Yang.


- The Queen's Gambit: Anaya Taylor Joy is amazing in this and I'm glad we get a cool glimpse at the world of competitive chess through the eyes of a teenage girl. We need more stories like this.


- The Good Place: This show was one of the first things I binge-watched from start to finish back in March. If you like philosophy and religion this is the show for you.


- The Witcher: I really really want to love this show, but I was not overly impressed.


- The Great British Baking Show: This is my happy place.


- The Office: I rewatched a few episodes here and there.


- Cobra Kai: It's good, but not a must-watch.


- After Life: I miss British comedies so much.


- The Umbrella Academy: I LOVE THIS SHOW


- The Politician: I watched this in the early stages of the pandemic. It's good, but not my favourite.


- The Crown: This is another one of those shows I watched because I ran out of things to watch.



HBO - Ok so I had HBO on Amazon Prime before I got HBO Max. So I am combining everything available on HBO on this list. While I think I watched fewer programmes on HBO, I still think they have the best content hands down.


- The Sopranos: Yes, I am starting the list with basically some of the best writing in a drama.


- His Dark Materials: This show is amazing. The book is better we know already.


- The Wire: This is another one of those must-see shows.


- Watchmen: It's too bad there will not be a season 2. This show was incredible.


- The Flight Attendant: I am only a few episodes in, but I am not impressed.


- My Brilliant Friend: It's in Italian. It's amazing


- Succession: This is my favourite show in 2020. The writing feels very refreshing and new. Everyone should watch Succession at least once in their life.


- Doctor Who: I can only watch up to series 10. The new writing in Doctor Who is very upsetting.


- Friends: Who doesn't like Friends?


- The Outsider: Really good


- Titans: 😩 When people who don't know the source material get together in a room this happens.



Amazon Video: They just need to do better marketing for their shows.


- Mr Robot: This was my number two fav of 2020. I met Christian Slater at an Apple Store when I used to work there.


- The Boys: This show is Amazon's ace in the hole. Series 2 was too good.


- The Pitch: It's a show about advertising.


- The Only Way is Essex: This is what I watch if I start to feel too American lol.


- The Simple Life: Guilty pleasure


- Dance Moms: I was desperate for entertainment


- America's Next Top Model: I watched way too many seasons of ANTM.


- Vikings: INCREDIBLE. This is a must-watch.
