ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

Voted, thanks forks. I started a thread about my number 1 show, I May Destroy You, and I wrote about it there.

I liked xyzzzz__’s conclusion on it, bolded part is it in a nutshell.

I think I liked that it resisted any kind of takeaway. There was some painful processing of experience, but ultimately stuff got done -- that she needed her rapist to take away her writing block I realise quite a brutal expression of what it is to do stuff, sometimes -- life goes on and we keep muddling through the disaster.

A reminder that the second season of The Umbrella Academy came out last year and you should all vote for it, or watch it then vote for it.

ballot sent

I voted. 19 shows on my list.

21 ballots! Why not get yours done over this weekend? Anywhere from three to twenty-five shows is valid!

Just watched the first episode of Work in Progress - aaaahh it's so good! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for flagging that up, forks.

I'm glad to hear that! FWIW it holds up well for the whole season and is likely in my top 15.

k sent my ballot. we just started the Crown and it's unlikely I'm gonna get to any other shows from last year. excited to see the results!

I started the crown, but figured I know how it ends - so decided to check out some other things I’ve been meaning to watch.

gonna vote tomorrow or thurs, have my list just figuring out the order (and where the new pope fits)

Oh gosh I'dve voteed for Umbrella Academy too, did that get missed? :(

xp my tip to make the Crown more exciting to watch: go into it with an embarrassingly poor knowledge of British history, like I have

can anyone rep for Giri/Haji? started it last night but i start a lot of shows and never finish. worth watching the whole season?

We're at 27, so I would love some ballots over the next day or so!
The goal is over 50 and I think we should be able to do that?

Yeah, it seems like it's going to be po-faced but has a surprising amount of humor. There is however a sequence in the last episode that's a leftfield indulgence, I liked it a whole lot but can easily see others roll their eyes at it. In any event, it'll be on my ballot when I get around to it.

get around to it before friday is all i'm saying!

Genuinely cant think of enough new watches that would make a ballot worthwhile and i dont care if u madd

dude, you didn't watch three shows from last year?

Its doubtful and look i dont wanna give my schtick away but i definitely didnt watch three id vote for

There are shows being boosted itt and id disown siblings for ranking them, like

LOL I am a complete not TV watcher (even to the point of "I dont own a TV" for a while!) and I manged to see at least 10 serieseses this last year.

my point, made repeatedly, is that's likely the case for almost everyone on this board to this covid thingy

_can anyone rep for Giri/Haji? started it last night but i start a lot of shows and never finish. worth watching the whole season?_

Its ok deems we know you dont want to rep for Picard.

I went through the list, i promise

Ive watched 3, only one of which i completed.

Caught bits of a few others while the wife had them on.

Genuinely wouldnt be fair at all to submit

I promise i had a good year catching up on stuff tho

xp how dare u

tee hee

post yr not-ashamed catchup list deems

as meager as my vote was I voted

and it was appreciated! That puts us in need of 20 more ballots to get this to 50 and a more representative slice of ILX... can we do it?
YES WE CAN

Can I do a write in for Umbrella Academy somehow? it wasnt nommed but i'd honestly have put it in my 3-5 section if I'd realised.

forks, should I bother you with a correction to my supplemental ballot or nah? Because I stupidly left off the best 'new to me' show I saw last year. I mean I assume you aren't actually tallying votes for how many people first watched and became fans of eg Mork & Mindy in 2020 but just thought I'd check.

Voted! Man, I thought I watched more. Actually, I did watch more, but because I forgot to nominate a lot of it wasn't on here! What, nobody else was watching Beforeigners? (OK this came out in late 2019 on HBO Europe but only this Feb on HBO streaming in the US.)

i would strongly suggest that at this point (when the backend of the vote tabulation is fairly tricky) we hold off from trying to reorder ballots. Trayce, if you'd like to add something to the bottom, just email me back. OL, happy to add your rediscovered best-ofs to the master list.

Everyone apologizes for their list when they submit it for some reason! Be proud of your viewing habits, whether too much too little too trashy or too erudite! We are what we eat!

i'm assuming i have until tomorrow midnight to submit? i'm almost done my viewing list, but work blew up a few days ago and i am suddenly now dealing with vertigo, which fucking sucks like you wouldn't believe; but i hope to have a satisfactory list by tomorrow evening.

midnight tomorrow is fine. But all you other non-afflicted people should get these in tonight!

Enjoyed Beforeigners but think I voted for it last year xps

Add me to the list of would have voted for The Umbrella Academy if I'd remembered about it (and if it had been nominated)

Noted forks all good :)

I think I only saw four things, and one wasn't very good, but I sent a ballot with the other three!

Thanks!

And what about YOU?!?!! have YOU voted??!?!?!?!?

just voted

but what about YOU!?!!?!?!?!?

funky 16 corners represent!

i voted!

BTW, if you have not received a note from me after receiving your ballot that means you either sent it today or i haven't seen it... so resend if you think i missed it!

Glad the Awkwafina show was nommed... near top of my ballot, so much funnier than I expected

i voted

as did I

Cracked 40! Can we get 20 more to put this up to 60?
