Pretty sad about Netflix continously canceling shows after viewers get invested. Knowing how Dark evolved through 3 seasons, you'd think they would appreciate the formula; however, canceling 1899 after just 1 season, while knowing it's completely written with an ending ready, is super disappointing. Netflix is making me want to wait to see if shows are renewed before even getting myself involved in a storyline. Why watch when they are going to cancel on cliffhangers resulting in nothingness. I hope another platform picks it up, cause Netflix is getting too frustrating. 🙏

Ironically, this approach is exactly why Netflix cancels shows. Not judging or anything, I'm the same, I usually only get around to watching new shows when the hype has already quieted down. But Netflix measures success in how much buzz a show creates, meaning: how many people binged this thing as soon as it came out to then go on social media and post memes about it, essentially advertising the show so people get subscriptions to see what the fuzz is all about, which is why Wednesday was such a huge success. So in not watching shows as soon as they come out, your watchtime doesn't really count towards their success as far as Netflix is concerned. Which is such a shame because it gives shows like 1899 a serious disadvantage. Tbh I still haven't finished it because I like to watch the episodes one at a time and think about them, and I know many people who also take their time with it. Meanwhile I'll binge easily digestable shows even when I don't really love them just because they make for nice background noise while gaming ^^' so I guess if Netflix continues measuring success like this, we'll end up with mostly easily digestable, easily memeable, mediocre quality shows...

I wonder if we're gonna see more of the big Netflix show following that pattern of a few 40min bunch released episodes and then some feature film length final episodes. Because that again changes how a show is structured, written and watched

I hope that you eventually cover "Derry Girls", a sitcom about four Irish girls and an unfortunately British boy coming of age during the Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1990's. It finished up earlier this year, and though the final season wasn't as great as the previous two, it still ended up on an uplifting note. It can make you laugh one minute, and cry the next, and many of the characters are relatable, and feel like people you grew up with.

It is so annoying to see 1899 getting cancelled. Dark was one of the best shows in television history, but, honestly, it wouldn't be if there was only season 1. It is so common for shows to open up several plot narratives and mysteries just to disappoint with the payoff. Dark is the opposite. Mid season 3 I thought there is no way to tie all of this toghether in a coherent way. I was wrong. I don't think we can ever judge 1899 fairly, unless we get to see the scripts or it get's continued against all odds.

@reductosmash2483

I agree to an extent...but even so, Dark had already done more than enough to prove that it was worth your time by the end of its first season. I love Dark as much as Ninja and it's easily my favorite show...but they dropped the ball a bit with 1899. Is it terrible? Absolutely not. Is it incredible? Absolutely not. I enjoyed it, but compared to all of the other shows on here (and three shows it pains me to NOT see on here: The Last of Us, Wednesday, and Only Murders in the Building), it is bluntly profoundly mediocre. It most definitely could have turned into something remarkable, but it definitely didn't come anywhere close to instilling me with the same level of commitment and intrigue that Dark did. And I think the fact that, in addition to 1899 being cancelled, after nearly 5 months it hasn't been picked up by any other streaming service (and, based on how this kind of thing has gone in the past, never will) speaks volumes. For example, NBC announced that it was cancelling Community on May 9, 2014, and Yahoo announced that it was picking it up June 2, 2014, less than a month later. Upsets me a lot to see it cancelled because I'm still a fan and I would've really liked to see where things go, but it definitely doesn't deserve a spot on this list more than any of the three I named.

Eeeeeh, it was really mediocre. Nice animation but that's about it. It fails to set up this universe and explain it properly, just throws various characters at us that I guess people who played the games would know. Like the sick doctor guy, where was his story going? It did not lead to any good conclusion. Jinx was an idiot who after making some terrible mistakes, just right off the bat turned into ersatz Harley Quinn the next time we see her, going crazy out of nowhere. And the show never explains just... why does the high city oppress the slums? They have machines and tech so it's not like they are capitalists oppressing the workers, they literally don't need the slums. They could just as well let them separate and go their own way instead of policing and waging a war on them.

About 1899 not being as good as Dark, I feel the same way, but I wanted to add tha Dark also feels like a masterpiece because of its satisfying end and no loose ends, while 1899 is still at the beginning of its journey. I'm sure once the show is finished it will be up there with Dark

I'm honestly surprised how lauded House of the Dragon is. It's not that it's completely awful, it's just... meh. The writing leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. Some of the writing choices have been... baffling (especially the deviations from the source material) and on the level of post s5 GoT. And some of the characters have been butchered beyond repair. The direction is lacking in some of the episodes (looking at you Sapochnik and your awful day for night and 10 different cuts with actors standing in 10 different places between closeups and wide shots). The actors are carrying the shit out of the barebones material that they're given, but without their strong performances it wouldn't be where it is. I went in with no expectations, managed to get hyped after the first three episodes but sobered up pretty quickly after.

the sandman and hotd are my absolute favs this year, i think they are brilliantly done, but when it comes to comfort shows, wednesday also has a place in my heart now

My favorite show of 2022 was Our Flag Means Death. It's really wholesome and funny. It starts as a workplace comedy for pirates then slowly morphs into a romantic comedy. I was really happy because it's been so long since I saw a good romantic comedy, where the romance is really cute and the comedy is gold. The two leads are Rhys Darby as Stede Bonnet, the Gentleman Pirate and Taika Waititi as Blackbeard. It's loosely based on real historic events and I was really surprised to discover the existence of Stede Bonnet because while we have all heard of Blackbeard I don't think many people know the Gentleman Pirate and he actually sailed with Blackbeard during the Pirate Golden Age. Pretty wild. Also, the show has a lot of good queer representation and has been applauded for not queerbaiting with their romantic leads. The romance starts with hints here and there, evolves and actually confirms the romance before the end of the season. I'm really excited to see the second season next year!

Its wild seeing Antony Starr go from playing Hood to playing Homlander, because you can see him using that same barely contained rage at the core of both roles, but the way he layers it under the two characters is so vastly different to get the beleaguered exhausted grey hero in Banshee, vs the egocentric entitled monster in The Boys

I went into it fully expected to have a good time but I was surprised how deeply I loved this show. The execution was beautiful, the directing was amazing (who gave Ben Stiller the right to make something this phenomenal) it was such a brilliant example of story telling with such a fascinating concept.

Vox Machina is so funny, can't wait for season 2.

Very glad about your inclusion of Severance! It's seriously one of my favorite shows of all time and I completely agree on all the points you made. The finale was one of the best TV experiences I've ever had, every second was anxiety inducing and spectacular. More people need to watch it!

I had zero expectations for House of Dragon and Sandman, but they turned out to be my favorite shows of the year. Glad you've mentioned them.

Thank you for mentioning Severance, I was not expecting it to be talked about at all but it was definitely the best show I watched this year and deserves so much more recognition!

Can’t wait to hear your take on The White Lotus! I just finished season 2 today, it was amazing!

I adore "Heartstopper", it's so adorable, and as someone who has seen their fair share of gritty, dark teen dramas, the idealistic setting feels like a breath of fresh air. The characters all actually look like teenagers, with many of their actors being teens themselves, or close in age.

If you have any interest in watching teen shows from non-english speaking countries, I'd like to recommend you the Swedish Netflix show Young Royals, since you enjoyed Heartstopper, and also, the Norwegian teen show Skam that ran back in the late 2010s. Both shows are very down to earth and depicts teen life more realistically, though Young Royals are set an elite boarding school and has the Swedish crown prince as the main protagonist, which gives it a nice hint of gossip girl and the crown 😊

Omg yess!! I love Young Royals! it feels like a fun mix of many different teen dramas but it’s also really refreshing! The writers in the first season did an amazing job with the six episodes they had. I hear Skam is great too!

Finally got to see Severance After seeing the video, I got to admit the show was good. If every episode is about 7/10 for me, the last one completely skyrockets to 15/10 all the slow burn from the previous episodes finally plays off, It was phenomenal! Totaly deserve a spot on the top shows of 2022

I have to say that Andor was probably my favourite show of the year! I'm more of a casual Star Wars viewer, but I absolutely loved it. The storyline, acting and ambiance (real world sets) were all superb 💚

The Severance cliffhanger… my god I was SHOOK!! I was so upset it was snubbed during awards season but I’m glad ppl are talking about it now

If you liked your international cast speaking different languages you can try watching “Into the Night”, it’s a show about people having to escape sunlight on a plane, and the ensemble of characters that just happened to be on that particular plane come from different parts of the world. I was so obsessed with this show!

THANK YOU for pointing out how amazing Alicent is as a character. With so much meme-culture surrounding the show way to many people missed how brilliantly written she is and Olivia Cooke deserves WAYYY more praise!

do not exaggerate

I don't know if you've watched these, but I'd highly recommend Our Flag Means Death and What We Do In The Shadows (specially this one I think has your kind of humor, it's like The Office but vampires, it's based on a movie with the same name that taika watiti directed, you don't need to watch the movie first, it's just on the same universe and it's fun to see the little cameos that the movie characters do on the show)

I think the most underrated series of the year was Interview With The Vampire on AMC+. It’s an amazingly written and directed drama / supernatural series and the lead actors Jacob Anderson who plays Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt, and Bailey Bass as Claudia deliver the absolute best performances of the year in television!

I’m so happy about #1!! I was waiting for it for the entire list just hoping that it made it. Excellent job as per usual, Space Ninja! Can’t wait for another year of videos 😅

Always on point! I swear I could have made this list myself (with exception of a couple shows that I haven’t watched : the one about the restaurant and your number 1 ), but considering you have really great taste I’m going to watch them!

I am so glad you've seen Severance. I watched it as it came out and it loved it so much. Very few shows have gotten me so invested that they've actually stressed me out and one of them was the final episode of Severance. I can't wait for season 2.

I loved Yellowjackets too. The characters are incredible, the twists are horrifying and the story is weirdly intriguing - yet pulled off masterfully. Highly recommend. Also can't believe you didn't mention The White Lotus. This show has it all: stunning cinematography, easily the best TV show score in years, Emmy-worthy acting, murder mysteries and deep insights into class, race and wealth.

Lee Min-Ho from Pachinko is a popular actor here in the Philippines during the early 2010s due to the K-Dramas that are being released on TV where he starred. Sucks that the show isn't being marketed well. It would've been better if it was released on Netflix or Disney Plus.

Thing with 1899 is its simply season 1, very few ppl would have put Dark on a pedestal we do now after just the 1st season, the most mind-blowing episodes are in later seasons Will 1899 be as good as Dark? Chances are no, but I'd also say chances are it will get even better (than season 1 is*)

House of the Dragon was amazing- I actually liked it better than Game of Thrones (except for season 1). My only wish is that they made that first season longer.

I haven't actually watched a lot of new stuff, been too busy catching up on things I missed. Doom Patrol season 4 is starting to look wild, even for Doom Patrol. I'm a sucker for Criminal Minds, and I've been glad to see it resurrected. Loved The Sandman!

Was happy to see Severence on the list. It was such a great watch but no one I know outside my own family has seen it, which means I have no one to nerd out about it with! So, I’m glad to see it get a spotlight. Would recommend watching Arcane if you have not seen it yet.

a list of the shows if anyone's interested: 10) andor 9) abbot elementary 8) attack on titan season 4 part 2 7) pachinko 6) 1899 5) cyberpunk edgerunners 4) the boys season 3 3) the bear 2) house of the dragon special mentions: peacemaker, heartstopper, the sandman, the pacient and the drop-out 1) severance

This might be just my opinion but I really think tv shows overshadowed the the movies this year in terms of quality edit: the new profile picture is adorable

probably my personal favorites this year were The Sandman, Koisenu Futari, Heartstopper, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Our Flag Means Death, but I did not watch very many new shows. Top 10 lists just go on my watchlist.

@neivilde.1242

Жыл бұрын

i love the mysterious benedict society! it's so sweet!

it's funny cause we have the same opinion about house of the dragon and the sandman but reversed, house of the dragon was good but I felt like there were a lot of issues and I thought the sandman was brilliant. Also another good show this year was interview with the vampire, that one took me by surprise as well, I didn't expect such amazing performances from it.

My favourite show of the year is “Half Bad: The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself”. It's a fantastic magical, supernatural witch series with a good dose of gore, but the gore has its place and isn't just there for gore's sake. The series deals with a war being waged between two different witch communities: The Fairborn Withes vs The Blood Witches. Our main character, Nathan Byrne, is caught in the middle of this due to his heritage - half Fairborn on his mother's side and being half Blood on his father's. To add fuel to the fire his father, Marcus Edge, is the “World's Most Dangerous Blood Witch” and because of it, The Council of Fairborn Witches has been monitoring him for the first 16 years of his life out of fear he'd turn out like his father. There is a lot of commentary that can be gleaned from this series, due to the MC's race, gender, and sexuality and how that conflates with violence. As well as the idea of propaganda, the idea that history is told from the POV of the victors, and the twisted nature of politics and war. From what I've heard, this series also had an intimacy coordinator, which shows how the characters interact with each other and how touch is shown. Sadly, this series got very little to no promo as well and was cancelled after only one season, and even counting this I still can't recommend this show enough. The show contains excellent acting, good pacing, fitting music, and writing that doesn't insult the intelligence of those watching. The writing has faith in the audience to be able to piece everything together. Just know that its targeted demographic is teenagers, but for a teenage supernatural drama, it excels on every front. I love it so much, that I started reading the books just after I finished binging the show. I really hope you check it out and also Happy Holidays!

Pachinko Is Awesome one of the best K drama's I've ever watched. Lee Minho is an amazing actor.

Thank you for the list and recommendations! I highly recommend watching The English. It is a slowburn 6-episode western mini-series with stellar performances by Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer. The story is a usual revenge plot with some twists set in the late 19th century. It is very-well written, the production quality is topnotch and it has that classic (spaghetti) western movie vibe. It is easily one of my favourites of 2022.

For real, I just finished watching Severance (due to your recommendation) and I got shivers at the end. WOW, can't wait for the next season. I hope there is a next season?!

Nice video and channel, dude, glad I ran in to it!

I hope one day we can get a video on Avatar 1 and 2, since the second one came not so long ago, I would love to hear your take on both movies. Heartstopper,Attack on titan and House of the dragon were my personal favorite.💝

To my great surprise, my favorite show this year was Andor. I never thought a show about a character from Rogue One would be the Star Wars show I’ve always wanted but here we are. And I can’t wait for season 2.

i'm glad you called severance a perfect show because i wholeheartedly agree. i only found out about it because i love dichen lachman but WOW is it great. also i would love a severance video from you but i totally understand if you don't feel like it's a necessary video for you to make

Would recommend This Is Going To Hurt, a show I’ve not seen a lot of people outside the UK talk about. A dark comedy starring Ben Whishaw and based of the diaries of an ex junior doctor in the NHS, it doesn’t skimp on the reality of treating people in a hospital and the strain working in one puts on its doctors x

His dark materials have so many incredible performences that you have to check it out!
