From #TheDropout to #Euphoria to #Andor, our chief TV critics sifted through an avalanche of shows to pick their favorites from this year. See which ones they chose here: bit.ly/3Bh9ob4
"Abbott Elementary"
"Quinta Brunson’s ABC comedy about a hardworking, charismatic group of Philadelphia teachers was so immediately realized...that it feels like it’s been on for years rather than months." – Caroline Framke bit.ly/3Bh9ob4
"Barry"
"The drama and the jokes were operating at their highest level yet in this year’s third season. Barry’s journey into unrepentant inner darkness was played beautifully by Bill Hader, but the season belonged to Sarah Goldberg." – Daniel D'Addario bit.ly/3Bh9ob4
"Rothaniel"
"[Jerrod Carmichael's] mid-show reveal that he’s gay became the headline, but the way in which he built himself up to say and examine it was as unforgettable as it was, intentionally, uncomfortable." – Caroline Framke bit.ly/3Bh9ob4
"Tokyo Vice"
"'Tokyo Vice' introduces a crusading character and then places him in intriguing opposition to a precisely drawn world. It’s pure narrative pleasure." – Daniel D'Addario

"Andor"
"'Andor' paints a detailed, convincing picture of how fascism spreads, clamps down and inspires uprisings. What Tony Gilroy’s series occasionally lacks in episodic structure it more than makes up for in careful characterization." – Caroline Framke bit.ly/3Bh9ob4
"The Girl From Plainville"
"This ultra-narrativized life, a consequence of nascent social media, but also of Michelle [Carter]’s particular character, comes to have tragic consequences, explored sensitively and well." – Daniel D'Addario bit.ly/3Bh9ob4
"The Dropout"
"Slicing and efficient in its portrait of one-time Silicon Valley darling Elizabeth Holmes." – Caroline Framke
"Conjure[s] a deep and textured sense of who Holmes was without ever begging for sympathy." – Daniel D'Addario

"Reservation Dogs"
"At once surreal, warm, and wise, 'Reservation Dogs' is so comfortable in its own shoes that walking with it from one destination to the next always feels like embarking on the best kind of adventure." – Caroline Framke bit.ly/3Bh9ob4
"Euphoria"
"'Euphoria' would be television’s most overconfidently made series, if it didn’t somehow, every time, find its way to sublimity." – Daniel D'Addario bit.ly/3Bh9ob4
