Top 10 TV series of 2019
Ava DuVernay's The Central Park Five was an unforgettable social drama that made history by re-framing the plight of a group of teenagers railroaded onto rape and assault charges. But the show didn't just confront its subject matter head-on; it pushed back against a society that had long believed that "the system" was a solution to crime rather than an obstacle to justice.
The HBO show was also one my favourite feminist crime series. Its emphasis on women and girls in criminal justice changed the way I see policing. It's impossible for me to watch this show without thinking about how women are treated in general and how the system treats people of color in particular.
Barry Season 2 was more intense than its predecessor and even more funny. Barry learns that the illusion of a new future doesn't erase his horrific past. This season was a masterclass in letting tragedy drive comedy. The show allowed itself to joke about its darkest moments, and even had an epiphany moment that made Barry's life more clear than ever before.
This show tackled all of the major issues that impact us all in a time of political turmoil, including racism, gender politics, and sex abuse. It's not often that a comedy series can do so much, but this season, which was written and directed by Bill Hader, offered up an honest look at the ways that our most basic human needs and desires can be thwarted and exploited.
This satire is as funny as it is disturbing, and it's impossible to watch without feeling a little bit uncomfortable. It's a little dated, with a focus on the kind of quotable lines that were always its strength, but it still manages to keep you on the edge of your seat.
The best case scenario is that it will keep you hooked. And the worst-case scenario is that your self-deprecating behavior will make you laugh. This series is great because it combines comedy, drama and wit with a light touch. It's a show you'll enjoy watching over and over.
Legends of Tomorrow is the last TV drama to watch. Legends Of Tomorrow is a show that enjoys outrageous twists, quotable characters and other bizarre things. However, it does not let them get too outlandish. It will leave you laughing with incredulity and begging for more.
