5 What We Do In The Shadows

6 I Am Not Okay With This/Harley Quinn

7 Devs

8 Lovecraft Country

10 At Home With Amy Sedaris/Animaniacs

As well as previous years/seasons of TV which have proved a useful respite against the waves of despair and malaise prominently amplified by the pandemic: Community, Happy Endings, Harper’s Island, Letterkenny, Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, Nightflyers, Now Apocalypse, Schitt’s Creek, and Talk Show The Game Show. Also, I literally don’t remember when Legion Season 3 and The Terror: Infamy actually finished their run, but they were both bouncing around in my mind as well.
