Nominate the Best TV/Web/Streaming Series of 2020 - Nominations Closing January 7

The New Pope (HBO)

nb, i haven't seen either but i know they got lots of acclaim

His Dark Materials (HBO)

Aggretsuko (Netflix)

Did not realize episodes of this came out last year! I binged all three seasons just a month ago, thought it was older. Thanks for nomming

I appreciate the thinking ahead but I would ask that we only nominate shows that we might possibly vote for by the time voting comes around... so I'm okay if you're nominating something in advance of a planned watch prior to Feb 1 but otherwise, no need for completism.

i do plan on watching at least one of those before the end of the month, but there might be some latecomers who vote but don't nominate

also fair! since there's been no limit put on nominations, i just want to avoid folks feeling the need to nominate everything

oh yes i forgot about Aggretsuko. great season.

re: Bojack it was apparently among the most acclaimed of 2020 despite the half-season
https://digg.com/2020/top-10-tv-shows-2020

these are the things currently missing from our nominees that made the metacritic 100. I saw about an episode from a third of these but don't think they're worth nominating. anybody wanna rep?

Rupaul's Drag Race (VH1)

legitimately floored to learn that homeland was airing new episodes in 2020-

I saw Hillary--I thought of it more as a documentary than a TV series, but I guess it could go either way. I would put it lower on my list.

Didn't know anyone rated The Good Fight until I saw it pop up on several year-end lists (nb, have never watched it or its previous incarnation).

it’s pretty good imo, i think i like it better than Good Wife

Taskmaster (Channel 4)

my mom and my gf both watched Lennox Hill (independently of each other) and loved it; it looked pretty good but I had already gotten into Hospital on BBC which more or less seemed like the same thing except people have nice british accents and everyone's insured.

i barely feel like anything matters but we're closing nominations tomorrow here so, if your show of choice isn't on this list, post it here now.

Homecoming's still not on there.

You didn't actually nominate it, you just mentioned it! i'll add.

Ah--it was meant as a nomination.

legitimately floored to learn that homeland was airing new episodes in 2020-

TBH it actually ended quite well I thought!

Lower Decks should probably be Star Trek: Lower Decks in case someone was going alphabetically in the list and would be surprised to see it missing.

fair point

Pity Cobra Kai came out this month, it was a great S3.

Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi (Hulu)

Final Call for Nominations! Will shut this down and open up voting over the weekend or on Monday.

A Teacher - FX

oh sorry i see it's there under the t's

Missed this thread but will still vote.

Would probably have nominated the following that aren't on the list:

Into The Night
Upload
Tales from the Loop
Locke & Key
The Good Place
Wizards: Tales of Arcadia

I haven’t seen it but people had good things to say about ZeroZeroZero on Amazon.

First few episodes were very good but felt it lost its way a bit after that. Quite a bit of crossover with the Gomorrah production crew I think.

I don't think I'm voting but I would have given a few points to The Shivering Truth

A vote costs you nothing and takes five minutes! Join in!

omg fuck was The Shivering Truth not nominated? entire poll invalid ffs

i mean, vote for it if you want to as long as it came out in 2020? the nominations are to provide people with lines to color within.

it did. Good Place finale also amazing and glad it got picked up

incidentally The Good Place placed in last year's poll, finished before the voting ended in 2020 and is not eligible for voting this year

Ah, I did wonder at the fact it wasn't nominated

ok i am no longer glad!

not all that much happened in the 8 episodes of.We Are Who We Are but I liked it a lot

Avenue 5 (HBO)
Brockmire (IFC)
All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite (TNT)
Superstore (NBC)
The Queen’s Gambit (Netflix)

ah dammit how are you not going to have avenue 5 or superstore

vote for em if you want to Maura! you're just late to the party. anything that premiered three or more episodes somewhere in the world in 2020 is valid.
