'Succession' was the culmination of the most outstanding series of the past five years. This family drama wrapped up with an ending that seamlessly mirrored its depiction of American decline, portrayed a Murdoch-esque media dynasty. The conclusion saw Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) taking hold of a vacant CEO seat, symbolising the Roys' disconnection from each other and their own identities.

Despite the explosion of new stories and forms over television’s last decade, ‘Reservation Dogs’ instantly stood out for its singular perspective and tone. Co-created by Taika Waititi and showrunner Sterlin Harjo, the FX coming-of-age comedy began with a confidence that only deepened over a three-season arc that concluded earlier this year.
Somebody Somewhere

The renewal of Bridget Everett's well-deserved leading role in ‘Somebody Somewhere’ for Season 3 is a welcome relief. In an era marked by cost-cutting and a fixation on intellectual property, ‘Somebody Somewhere’ stands out as the kind of show that is at risk. With exquisite empathy and attention, the series chronicles portrayed Everett’s journey as she forged a life in her Kansas hometown, rekindling connections with her high school classmate Joel (played by Jeff Hiller) and embracing her artistic expression through vibrant, bawdy performances inspired by Everett's real-life cabaret act.

Natasha Lyonne, with her seasoned rasp and vaudevillian demeanour reminiscent of a bygone era, joined forces with filmmaker Rian Johnson to embrace a throwback vibe in their collaboration. Opting for a ‘Columbo’ style procedural, their project features Lyonne's Charlie Cale on the run from a formidable adversary in her Plymouth Barracuda. Charlie's inherent bullshit detector, a gift or curse, elevates her to the status of an adept amateur detective, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative.
Dead Ringers

Reboot culture could be far less taxing if more endeavours followed the cerebral and ingenious approach seen in ‘Dead Ringers’. Alice Birch, known for her work on ‘Succession’ and ‘Normal People’, skillfully reimagines and subverts the David Cronenberg film, creating something fresh. This transformative process serves as both an expansion of the original material and a homage to Cronenberg's captivating style of body horror.
