10. MINDHUNTER
33 LISTS | 1 TOP SPOT
“Beautifully composed and tensely paced, Mindhunter is darkly addictive. The show deals with more than a few disturbing concepts and cases – those with a weaker constitution for such grim matters may find the stark details a little challenging to bear.” – Weniei Ma, News.com.au
9. MASTER OF NONE
35 LISTS | 4 TOP SPOTS
“Shah’s tender approach to everything from lasagna to courting could easily go down like a sugar overdose, but our hero is so earnest in his search for life’s simple pleasures that you still want to kiss him on the forehead.” – Neal Justin, Minneapolis Star Tribune
8. BETTER THINGS
37 LISTS | 3 TOP SPOTS
“The kind of deep-focus character work that Better Things is centered on only grows more potent as we spend more time with its characters. But I still wasn’t quite prepared for just how good, and thoughtful, and effortless season two would feel.” – Emily St. James, Vox
7. GLOW
42 LISTS | 2 TOP SPOTS
“GLOW is often very funny, but it also plays (and works) as drama, a balance that would more often be found in an hourlong show. The half-hour format, though, is just right, leaving a viewer eager to bounce and roll through the 10-episode first season.” – Gail Pennington, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
6. THE DEUCE
46 LISTS | 1 TOP SPOT
“It’s impeccably acted, written, and directed, and no matter how ridiculous “a series about the 1970s porn industry with two James Francos” might sound to you, this is somehow not just the best possible execution of that idea, but the most thoughtful one.” – Emily St. James, Vox
5. TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN
55 LISTS | 20 TOP SPOTS
“This is an entertaining and intriguing return to form that will delight fans and maybe-just maybe-pull in a new audience happy to overlook the slow pace and random non sequiturs in return for a glimpse into Lynch’s inimitable, magical, dystopian world.” – Viv Groskop, Newsweek
4. THE LEFTOVERS
63 LISTS | 21 TOP SPOTS
“A preview of seven episodes (encompassing all but the finale) finds the series more assured and purposeful — steadfastly moving toward something, whatever that might be, as opposed to away from the inexplicable event that set the story in motion.” – Brian Lowry, CNN.com
3. THE HANDMAID’S TALE
67 LISTS | 13 TOP SPOTS
“The Handmaid’s Tale is brutally excellent; my binge-watch this week was so unsettling that when I dashed out of the house to collect my eight-year-old from a play date, I stopped for a moment under the cherry blossoms, marvelling at my freedom.” – Marsha Lederman, Globe and Mail
2. BIG LITTLE LIES
69 LISTS | 7 TOP SPOTS
“The murder mystery itself was the weakest element of Big Little Lies, though it was probably necessary to get the show made. Even on HBO, even in the age of Peak TV, you still need an excuse, a hook, in order to tell dramatic stories about domestic life.” – James Poniewozik, New York Times
1. THE GOOD PLACE
71 LISTS | 4 TOP SPOTS
“In a glittering five-decade career, this may be the best [Ted] Danson has ever been. He’s pushing 70 but is full of youthful vigour here, refusing to fall back on the beats and grace notes with which he made his name.” – Stuart Heritage, Guardian
