A group of beloved critical darlings like <em>Succession<\/em>, <em>Barry<\/em>, and <em>Reservation Dogs<\/em>, among others, all wrapped up their runs. And between the impact of last year\u2019s simultaneous writers\u2019 and actors\u2019 strikes, plus the business as a whole beginning to contract from the unsustainable output of the Peak TV era, it was clear we were going to get much less TV \u2014 and perhaps much less of the truly great kind \u2014 moving forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThis proved to be the case, at least for 2024. There were fewer overall shows, as the business was very slow to ramp up in the aftermath of the strikes. The year wasn\u2019t nearly as deep in obvious classics as we\u2019ve had of late \u2014 and of the shows on this year\u2019s Top 10 list, two are in their own final seasons, and one is a miniseries that was discarded by its previous home and seems unlikely to continue in any form.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBut these 10 shows were nonetheless superb, and offer up a wide range of pleasures, from sweeping historical epics to plotless hangout comedies, from well-executed franchise reboots to wildly idiosyncratic originals. Whatever this new era in television turns out to be, we\u2019re not done with excellence yet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"pmc-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-loader u-gallery-app-shell-loader\">\n<ul class=\"pmc-fallback-list-items lrv-a-unstyle-list lrv-u-margin-t-2\">\n<li class=\"pmc-fallback-list-item-wrap lrv-u-margin-b-2\">\n<article class=\"pmc-fallback-list-item\">\n<h2>True Detective: Night Country (HBO)<\/h2>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-rollingstone-2022\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kali-reis-jodie-foster_2.jpg?w=300\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kali-reis-jodie-foster_2.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kali-reis-jodie-foster_2.jpg?resize=300,201 300w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kali-reis-jodie-foster_2.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kali-reis-jodie-foster_2.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/kali-reis-jodie-foster_2.jpg?resize=300,201 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\"\/><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Michele K.

But the shift in both format and stakes works, because Schur treats various questions of senior citizen life with utter sincerity, and because he\u2019s really using the mystery as an excuse to force Danson\u2019s lonely widower back out into the world, into a circumstance where he\u2019ll have to make new friends and confront regrets about the death of his beloved wife. Danson proved as game and versatile as ever, and Schur surrounded him with a cast of older character actors (Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sally Struthers, John Getz, Susan Ruttan) who were all clearly energized to be at the center of a story about this stage of life.

In this final season, with no creative future to worry about, the series has leaned way into that material, with hilarious storylines where Guillermo (Harvey Guill\u00e9n) gets a job at a shady finance company, Laszlo (Matt Berry) sees his human friend Sean freaking out during March Madness and assumes he\u2019s been possessed by a demon, and Nandor (Kayvan Novak) becomes a production assistant on a police procedural filming in the neighborhood. But there\u2019s still plenty of vamp-specific material, like a brilliant farce in which Laszlo, Nandor, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) each realize they can hypnotize the others in their sleep, with escalating consequences.

But co-creators Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane mostly used the brand name to invert the movie\u2019s premise, this time showing a pair of freelance spies (Glover and Maya Erskine) who are total strangers before they\u2019re hired to pose as a married couple as cover for various globe-trotting assignments. This opposite approach turned out to be a fiendishly clever way to look at the complexities and compromises of marriage, whether real or fake. As these strangers found themselves falling in love for real, Glover and Erskine\u2019s chemistry sparkled, and both proved equally adept at the more slapstick end of the show\u2019s range and the genuinely serious and sad moments. Amazon has ordered another season, though it\u2019s unclear if it will involve a new couple or more of these two.

(The show was even abandoned by its original home, Showtime, and picked up for a song by Netflix, though the streaming giant doesn\u2019t seem interested in adapting other Highsmith books.) But writer-director Steve Zaillian\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-reviews\/ripley-review-andrew-scott-netflix-1234996614\/\"> chilly, methodical take on the material<\/a> \u2014 taking us step-by-step through the various cons and murders committed by an older, less sympathetic Tom Ripley (so well played by Andrew Scott) \u2014 made this familiar story feel new again. And the black and white photography by Zaillian and cinematographer Robert Elswit offered some of the most stunning imagery ever seen in dramatic television. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"pmc-fallback-list-item-wrap lrv-u-margin-b-2\">\n<article class=\"pmc-fallback-list-item\">\n<h2>Sh\u014dgun (Hulu)<\/h2>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-rollingstone-2022\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\u201cSHOGUN\u201d --  &quot;A Stick of Time&quot; -- Episode 7 (Airs April 2)  Pictured:   Hiroyuki Sanada as Yoshii Toranaga, Cosmo Jarvis as John Blackthorne, Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko.

But that one so fundamentally misunderstood its source material that the story was told predominantly from the point of view of the English sailor caught in the middle of things, and the Japanese dialogue wasn\u2019t even subtitled in its original airings. This FX-produced take, adapted by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, understood immediately that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-reviews\/shogun-review-hulu-miniseries-1234974289\/\"> this was a Japanese story<\/a>, and that John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) should be treated as the wild card, rather than the full deck. The scope was frequently jaw-dropping, as were the performances \u2014 particularly by Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai, and Tadanobu Asano \u2014 and the whole season<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-features\/shogun-finale-review-1235007316\/\"> built to an unforgettable climax<\/a>. By the end, Kondo and Marks had adapted nearly all of the book. Now, they\u2019ll attempt to continue the story without the source material, and have earned that right with how expertly they\u2019ve dealt with these characters so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"pmc-fallback-list-item-wrap lrv-u-margin-b-2\">\n<article class=\"pmc-fallback-list-item\">\n<h2>Somebody Somewhere (HBO)<\/h2>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-rollingstone-2022\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bridget-everett-jeff-hiller_5.jpg?w=300\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bridget-everett-jeff-hiller_5.jpg 1700w, https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bridget-everett-jeff-hiller_5.jpg?resize=300,200 300w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bridget-everett-jeff-hiller_5.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bridget-everett-jeff-hiller_5.jpg 1700w, https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/bridget-everett-jeff-hiller_5.jpg?resize=300,200 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\"\/><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Sandy Morris\/HBO\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\t<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-not-a-paywall\">\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAs television enters its first year of getting smaller after years of rampant expansion, what could more appropriately top this list than this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-reviews\/somebody-somewhere-season-3-1235138774\/\">tiny little gem<\/a> of a show, in which barely anything happens, but in a way that can be so emotionally overwhelming, it feels like everything has happened? The third and final season of <em>Somebody Somewhere <\/em>found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-features\/bridget-everett-somebody-somewhere-1234713787\/\">Bridget Everett<\/a>\u2019s Sam struggling to see everyone else\u2019s lives changing while hers remains stuck in neutral. Best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) moves in with boyfriend Brad (Tom Bagley), wild pal Fred (Murray Hill) is domesticated by marriage, and her retired parents\u2019 farm is rented out by a mysterious Icelandic man with a name she can\u2019t pronounce (\u00d3lafur Darri \u00d3lafsson). But as was true throughout this gorgeous run, the series cared less about trying to solve Sam\u2019s problems than sketching out her life and the lives of her friends. It did this in such knowing detail that it felt less like we were watching a TV dramedy than like we had somehow been deposited at a karaoke bar in Manhattan, Kansas, to spend time with Sam, her sister Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison), Joel, and the rest of the crew. Probably made for less than half the cost of the <em>House of the Dragon<\/em> wig budget, <em>Somebody Somewhere <\/em>could have easily run for many more years without even David Zaslav\u2019s accountant noticing. Just treasure that we got these 21 remarkable episodes of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-lists\/best-tv-shows-2024-1235188199\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Peak TV bubble has officially burst \u2014 which seems to mean quality, if not quantity, is making a comeback.
