The Best TV Shows of 2022 So Far

Weird transitional TV shows hat! So far, we have seen the failures of Netflix and CNN+. Many great old shows have recently returned from the outbreak of the pandemic, but I’m excited to be reunited with Atlanta, Better Cole Sole and more. It was tempered by the realization of how undeserved we are on a great new show. Especially those born on the small screen like Barry and Better Things. If much of this spring’s lackluster flurry of docudramas is any sign of what’s to come, it’s months, not years, to see the creative limits of TIPTOP-based storytelling. In this case, good transmission calculations cannot be achieved immediately.

Just as Network Sitcom thought it was dead, this is the best new example of the format since The Good Place appeared fully formed on ABC’s Tuesday night lineup. Abbott Elementary was created by Quint Bronson, a Black Lady Sketch Show alum who got her start making cool Instagram videos. Often insulting teachers against a dishonest headmistress (Janelle James) who decides to raise the money Abbott manages to get, the show uses a documentary format to create a poignant classroom scene and an American education that balances the mood. First of all, to do something like a pleasantly cheap 21-minute episode in prime time, which has become extremely rare with the advent of streaming.

Atlanta (FX)

After returning from a four-year hibernation in March, Donald Glover‘s experimental comedies are no longer interesting. Understood. He might be disappointed if he focuses on an episode of Season 3 while waiting for another invisible car joke or Florida Man riff. The creator was clearly expecting a backlash. The official description of the episode is shown, written in the voice of a disappointed fan (“I think everyone knows that blackface is not cool anymore. We get it. They’re viral. It’s too much”).

But the best thing about Atlanta is that it’s always a way to surprise and challenge your audience. As a result, it was inevitable that Glover, in response to his success, would undermine the desire of the audience to simply have fun. (See: His “This Is America” ​​Gambian Childhood Video.) Ambitious, unbalanced, and at times completely unrecognizable, season 3 is a show based on the experiences of blacks interrogating whites. .. In the midst of a European tour by recently hyped headliner Paper Moi (Brian Tyree Henry), featuring an entire episode in which a normal character is replaced by an allegorical vignette with a strange face. Relations within the group, consciousness and worldview were formed by privilege. Even if the results may be complicated, Glover offers a new understanding of race, identity, and white supremacy in a media that recycles much of the old.

Barry (HBO)

Show Hit man, which exposed acting mistakes, may have become the greatest comedy about underwater fish. Instead, over three seasons, Bill Hades and Alec Berg’s over the top idea turned Jean Cousin’s (Henry Winkle, still great) acting lessons into a lens that looks at all sorts of life paths… who wants to be an ordinary and wonderful person like you are. a role to reflect who you really are? The story continues to expand, delving deeper into the characters surrounding Barry Hadar, from the compassionate and kind Chechen gang No Ho Hank (Anthony Cardigan) to Barry’s girlfriend Sally (Sarah Goldberg). It is about a victim of domestic violence who unknowingly chose a different partner. On the dark side, everyone knows how to balance their interests, instincts, skills, and situations. Meanwhile, for TV fans, Season 3 adds an absolutely fantastic story bonus to the streaming economy.

Better Cole Sole (AMC)

Although less than half of the final season of what was the best crime drama on television, for much longer the relationship between Breaking Bad and its excellent prequel is slowly solidifying. Better Call Saul, on the other hand, provided us with beautifully shot stunts, prestigious deaths, wacky plans, and even the story of the origin of Saul Goodman’s (Bob Dunkirk) Mall headquarters. At an even more striking theme level, creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould used five seasons. For characters like Mike Sosa and Jonathan Banks, we used two series of patient and delicate character development to create part of the story. Convincing morality. A compelling dilemma. I’ve never seen it on TV. With the end of the two-part season this summer, I’m sure a lot can be said. But no matter how it ends, Saul has not only gained its place as one of the greatest shows of our time.

Highlights (FX)

When credits were rolled back this spring at the finale of Pamela Salon’s semi-autobiographical comedy about an actress who is also a single mother, all I felt was gratitude. Thank you for your meditative tone. Thanks for accepting the turmoil, liquidity and uncertainty. Be patient and thank you for developing the theme or relationship, rather than over-explaining the theme or relationship to advance the plot. Thanks for featuring tough women over the age of 40 is an inspiration for us approaching this milestone. From childhood bullying to suffering from adolescent gender identity and dropping out of college when you can’t find what you’re looking for in ivory, we appreciate the delicate portrayals of young people at every stage of their growth. Tower. Thanks to Aron for being interested in the big philosophical questions of life, but she’s not cheeky enough to pretend to know all the answers.

Better Things is a morally clean series between co-creator Louis C.K.’s second and third seasons, as well as a more powerful series fueled only by Aron’s prestigious vision. When it was over, it was their project and was helped by a shifting group of great young casts and talented writers for longer than the entire project. But even before that, she was working on every aspect of her appearance. Since the second season, Aron has directed all episodes. And just as Sam took the first step behind the camera, it seems appropriate for him to drop the character Sam Fox. Big endings tend to offer new beginnings and endings, and in the end, Better Things left us with the thrill of imagining the infinite future of the Fox family.

Chat with friends (Hulu)

Many viewers loved the “ordinary people,” the first Hulu adaptation by the millennium novelist Sally Rooney. It wasn’t one of them. Fortunately, Conversations With Friends is another 30-minute, 12-episode Rooney drama by the same team as People, and the book is better than the series. Slowly stretched out during the short summer months in Dublin, the film is two precocious college girls (Joe Always and Jeremiah) who used to date but are now close friends. .. Kirk) Enjoys an enviable career in art. Unfaithfulness arises between the naive Francis Oliver and the depressed Nick Alvin. But the most sensual conversations are adult-style stories that learn to solve problems rather than avoid them, revealing how adult relationships work in all complexity. It’s a fascinating sight of the eyes, reading on the beach on the screen.

Girl in Gainesville (Hula)

If you don’t need to watch another non-fiction crime documentary, it will be available soon. However, not all of them are as broad, useless, and confusing as Candy, Joe vs. Carols and all about Pams. Some of them are very, very good, and none other than this discreet explanation of Michelle Carter’s tragic “suicide via text message” case. Thanks to creators Liz Hanna and Patrick Satsumas, this could be the song of a lifetime about a mean girl who stalks her boyfriend and commits suicide. – Teenagers of that time collide and have disastrous consequences. Indeed, the feeling that the circumstances leading up to Conrad Roy’s death were not far from normal teenage life is an understatement for Ellie Fanning as Michelle and Chloe Seville as Lynn, Conrad’s mother. active.

Made for Love (HBO Max)

The months have been difficult for the show to announce a second season. Russian Doll, Starstruck, Andun, Girls 5 Eva are all returning recently to continue their promising debut season and receive support in the broadcast news cycle, where many new title platforms come together. Emmy awards. This is especially disappointing for Made for Love. This is a new episode that truly pays tribute to author/creator Alyssa Netting’s lighthearted and disruptive novel, built on the hilarious and thoughtful first season.

The dark comedy about Hazel (Christine Militia), the wife of tech mogul and control freak Byron Gogol (Billy Magnanimous), is one of the first episodes after she escapes the heart of her top-secret headquarters. the real world, and her father (Ray Romano), who suffers from cancer and spends most of his time developing relationships. When she moved to her hometown and struggled to avoid the scrutiny of her husband, a stranger, Hazel, the issue of consent took a back seat and an invasive chip was implanted in her brain. With that foundation laid, the second season (mostly downtown) kicked off with all my heart on the themes of love, technology, and personal agency that the books inspire. With complex characters and clever humor, Nutting is able to actively explore complex and timely ideas that are often left for high-level academic work.

Research Team (HBO Max)

From Lost to Game of Thrones, shows that take viewers deeper and deeper into rabbit holes of conspiracy, world-building, and weirdness tend to have ending issues. There is no such thing in Search Party. Released in 2016 as the centerpiece drama of an aimless millennium, Ali Goshawk’s Doll pursues her goals by investigating the disappearance of acquaintances, making this winter one of the most spectacular TV seasons in history. A psychopathic child who offered to adopt Willy Wonks and Elton Musk’s manager John Waters, played by cultists, zombies, influences, miracle drugs and Jeff Goldberg. These episodes really contained it all. However, the real world, mocked by Search Party, continues to crumble rapidly, especially for the highly educated and underemployed young people who are also the protagonists and viewers, so accepting the show’s absurdity is entirely reasonable.

Severance is the best new show of the year, and not even close. Set in the mysterious mega-corporation Lumen Industries, this dark sci-fi drama is set in a workplace where employees take steps to “cut off” someone in the office (aka “Annie”) from everyone else. .. As long as they don’t work (your “auty”), they will continue to work. Aside from the many nasty ethical and existential dilemmas involved in outsourcing a newly created self to share one’s own body, the problem lies with Adam Scott’s Mark and his office assistant. Extreme information protection measures? Frozen, even his assistants and spectators are unaware of the real impact of Rohto’s computerized tasks assigned to them.

For these fast-paced ideas, execution distinguishes between classic and clutter. Severance’s almost perfect debut season is due to the credit of its first creator, Dan Ericsson. Dan Ericsson’s script creates a compelling and eerily believable alternative universe. Director Ben Stiller perfectly adjusts the rhythm and mood of each scene. And an all-star cast that includes up-and-coming talented Britt Lower with a particularly impressive performance as a new employee of Patricia Marquette, John Torturous, Christopher Walker, and Lemon. The second season will not come out soon.
