Our critics' top-ten lists reflect the staggering wealth of choices that were available to TV audiences in 2019, from the delightful and the captivating to the beguiling and the flawless
Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Courtesy of Network Is television going to slow down anytime soon? It sure didn’t in 2019. After a year that saw, conservatively speaking, a bajillion shows jockeying for pole position on our screens — not to mention all those newcomers from Apple and Disney’s streaming sites — it’s long past time to admit that no one person can keep up with everything worth watching. Thank goodness, then, that we have four.
8. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Directed by Louis Letterier and developed by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, this continuation of Jim Henson’s 1984 cult classic built out the story to allow for political and theological satire that will intrigue and amuse adults while flying over the heads of most kids . The series is also a technical marvel, seamlessly blending old-school puppetry, miniatures, and silent-era sleight-of-hand with the latest in digital compositing.

Jen Chaney’s Top 10 Shows of 2019 10. You’re the Worst It was a big year for TV finales, but some of the best didn’t get nearly as much attention as that one about dragons and thrones. You’re the Worst was one of those overlooked bests. This blatantly sardonic romantic comedy delivered a fifth and final season that celebrated the love between its two protagonists, the dysfunctional Gretchen and the equally messed-up Jimmy , while still staying true to its cynical core.
6. BoJack Horseman Is it fair to include BoJack Horseman on this list when only one half of its final season dropped in 2019? Well, if six episodes of Fleabag can qualify, then eight great episodes of BoJack count, too, especially since they were as sharp as the series has ever been.
2. Unbelievable Unbelievable took an overfamiliar genre — the true-crime-based procedural — and flipped it inside out. Instead of dissecting the psychological issues of male assailants, showrunner Susannah Grant focused on the experiences of women who had been victimized by men but resolved to survive.
8. The Good Fight The thing about life in 2019 that The Good Fight realized is that being buried by apocalyptic news creates an emotional Ping-Pong effect. Sometimes it’s bleak and depressing. Sometimes it’s overwhelming. And sometimes, it’s surreal to the point of silly absurdity — the kind of surreality that allows a legal drama to suddenly cut to an animated musical number about Roy Cohn.
4. Watchmen In the closing months of the year, the top answer to “What’s great on TV right now?” has been and will continue to be Watchmen. HBO’s not-really-an-adaptation of the legendary comic proves that high-risk ideas can yield incredibly high-reward results. The show is an ideal mix of massive ideas , microlevel attention to detail, absolute seriousness, and a helpfully sly sense of humor.
