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

#TheWhiteLotus is set up for an explosive Season 2 finale, where there are many loose ends to tie up. What will happen to Tanya? Did Cameron sleep with Harper? Is Lucia actually in danger? Who dies?! Here are our best White Lotus theories: bit.ly/3VvsAd8
THEORY #1: Greg is in cahoots with Quentin to kill Tanya for her money.
We have plenty of reason to be suspicious of Tanya's friendship with the "high-end gays." Plus, her discovery of Quentin's cowboy photo might be proof that he and Greg are scheming. bit.ly/3VvsAd8
THEORY #2: Quentin will extort Tanya by secretly filming her having sex.
As Niccoló seduces Tanya, a red light blinks in the background, indicating a camera is filming. If there's an infidelity clause in her pre-nup, the video could be used as blackmail. bit.ly/3VvsAd8
Actress Angela Lansbury, whose 75-year career encompassed triumphs on the big screen, in musical theater and on television, died on Tuesday. bit.ly/3Eu35mW

In a 2019 overview of Lansbury’s career, Variety’s Tim Gray noted that “Murder, She Wrote” "relied on Lansbury’s intelligence, integrity and warmth, which no actress can fake...The series rested squarely on Lansbury’s shoulders.” bit.ly/3Eu35mW
