Best TV Shows of 2023
When it comes to shows that I enjoyed, the majority of them came from Netflix. I also find myself mainly on Hulu, which provides access to a large chunk of broadcast programming. The only other real exception is Paramount +, which is the streaming service that has been producing original content in the Star Trek franchise. I haven't been too keen on most of that original content but the final season of Star Trek: Picard managed to rope me back, at least for that one season.
Another show that I was late to see was HBO's The Gilded Age, which had its second season this past year. It's basically the American version of Downton Abbey (2010), which makes sense, given that it was created by the same man, that of Julian Fellowes. Speaking of lauded British screenwriters, Peter Morgan released his final season of The Crown (2016). This was probably the most anticipated of all the six seasons because it was the season that dealt with the death of Princess Diana, recounting the final hours of her life. It also addressed some of the issues with a more-grown up Prince William and Prince Harry. The ending was also adjusted in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, which ended the longest reign of any British monarch at 70 years. The last episode was a fitting send-off.Best New Series of 2023
