Now, we’ve come to the TOP 3 TV shows of 2016. Honestly, any of these shows could have garnered the top spot on my list. Ranking these was really difficult. In the end, I based it on how the season made me feel and how confident I would be about their upcoming seasons. So, here we go…
3. Westworld
I’m sure many of you thought this would be my #1 choice; and, it was well on its way to being my number 1… but, I’m not so sure that season two can top season one.
I felt the same way about Mister Robot, and I was right. Westworld season one was just amazing. The storytelling was unique and the attention to detail was unparalleled. Every item, every gesture, every movement meant something. It was so meticulously beautiful that I don’t think it can be repeated in season 2. I truly hope I’m wrong.
2. Game of Thrones
Season 6 was probably the most satisfying season of Game of Thrones. In fact, the last 2 episodes gave us some of the BEST TV EVER! The ‘Battle of the Bastards’ (episode 9) was even better than most of the movies that came out this year. Unlike Westworld, however, I think Game of Thrones’s success in season six can be repeated. That’s the only reason Game of Thrones is slightly higher than Westworld.
You might be asking; “What could be better than Game of Thrones or Westworld?” So, here’s my numero uno TV show of 2016…
1. Stranger Things
This show pays homage to a lot of 1980s movies (like ET, The Goonies, etc.) and does it well. You’d think Winona Ryder would be the one carrying this show; but, you’d be wrong. Wynnona was great and all; but, the break-out stars were definitely the kids. All the other shows in this list had great actors leading the stories; but, the kids in this ‘love letter to the works of Stephen King and George Lucas’ put them all to shame. It’s a eerie yet feel-good series that can only get better. I hope those kids don’t grow up.
There you have it… my Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2016. What are your Top 10?
