Beef (Netflix) 

A car accident between Amy (Ali Wong) and Danny (Steve Yeun) is the starting point of a season where the two characters involved try to destroy each other. A story of extreme revenge that most people can relate to.

Blue Eye Samurai (Netflix) 

One of the great surprises of the year. An anime set in 17th century Japan that masterfully combines a powerful story, marvellous choreography and an historical context that should be in National Geographic.

Cunk on Earth (BBC)

This is just wonderful. A mockumentary in which Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) is the world's most ignorant, yet most confident presenter, since Ali G. Behind this gem is Charlie Brooker, creator of 'Black Mirror'.

Succession (HBO Max)

The fourth and final season of the best series of the last five years began with an unexpected twist and ended as everyone expected... with the succession of Logan Roy and a chosen one that surprised, angered and enamoured everyone.

Party Down (Starz)

14 years on the air and only 3 seasons but it has some serious magic. This is a comedy in which Los Angeles catering waiters chase their dreams while serving rich people and see those dreams come true for everyone but them. The cast is absolutely brilliant.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (Netflix)

The classic has returned in Anime form, with Ramona and her evil ex-boyfriends. This instalment has managed to twist the story, adapt it to its new format and shine among the best of 2023.

Somebody Somewhere (HBO Max) 

A simple, close and touching series seeing two high school friends facing middle age together, between transcendental and mundane conversations. An ode to normality with a torrent of emotions in each episode.

The Last of Us (HBO Max) 

The best adaptation made from a video game so far. It has followed the videogame on the basis of its story but hasn't tried to recreate the game on television. With the exceptional performances of Pedro Pascal, Anna Torv and Bella Ramsey.

Poker Face (Sky Showtime)

An old-fashioned, brilliant show dazzling with personality. Not to mention, Natasha Lyonne shines in every scene. Her Charlie Cale has the ability to know when people are lying, and uses it to solve crimes. Simple but very effective.

The Bear (Disney Plus)

The change from selling sandwiches to a restaurant helped the series and the viewers to relax, to breathe and to watch the series without the feeling of a constant heart attack. Everything in 'The Bear' has matured this second season and the quality has risen for a show which was already outstanding.

Reservation Dogs (Disney Plus)

Surprising premise and a genius execution! At first glance, this is a comedy about Indian teenagers living on a reservation in rural Oklahoma - I mean, it doesn't seem like the best of propositions. And yet it is. One of the must-see series of the year.

Extraordinary (Disney Plus)

Nobody expected this comedy to be so good, but it was. The series starts following a young girl with no powers who lives in a world where everyone has them. Obviously, she will do anything to gain hers.

Fleishman Is In Trouble (FX Networks)

Jesse Eisenberg, Claire Danes and Lizzie Caplan. Need we say more? This series is a comedy following Toby's ex-wife who suddenly shows up at his house, leaves his children, and walks away - never to return. Relatable and funny.

Gen V (Prime Video)

Who would have thought that the spin off series to 'The Boys' would be as good as the original? Set in a Supe university, it's just as dark, shocking and violent, and its heroes are as despicable as they are admirable. Magnetic.

The Lazarus Project (AMC)

Saving the world has been seen before. Doing it through time loops is another level and that's the idea behind this amazing series.

Mrs. Davis (HBO Max)

A nun fighting against an Artificial Intelligence that wants to control the world and humans. Well, you can't deny it is such an interesting theme. It's what makes this series captivating.
