2017 was a year that saw the debut & return of so many amazing shows and it became so hard to keep up. From Insecure to The Handmaids Tale to Ozark, I just couldn't get enough. I'll admit, there were still a few shows I didn't get to see because there's just too much TV shows and very little time. This is a list of some of my best and worst shows.
THE HANDMAIDS TALE
Margaret Atwood's The Handmaids Tale is undoubtedly my favorite show this year. Watching Elizabeth Moss and the rest of the cast members was such a pleasure. The story was gripping and intense and very few shows have made me feel the way this one did. I can't wait to see where they go with the second season. Read my review on The Handmaids Tale HERE
I'm never too busy to watch a show about serial killers & I binged the entire first season of Netflix's Mindhunter in 3 days. Everything about this show is phenomenal. From the acting to the plot and the cast. It's based on the true crime book Mind Hunter: Inside The FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit about 2 FBI agents who go to different prisons to interview serial killers in order to understand how they think. It's a very intense & intriguing show with a very superb script. Read my review on Mindhunter HERE

ALIAS GRACE
Who doesn't love a good True-Crime Drama? I know I do. The adaptation of Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace was everything I wanted in a TV series. They explored the abusive nature of men on women in the 19th century. I couldn't get enough of this limited series and it's amazing dialogue, the cast and the story which was gripping from beginning to end. Read my review on Alias Grace HERE
THE CROWN
Words are not enough to describe how much I love Netflix's Biographical Drama, The Crown. They proved to us once again why they always get nominations every award season. The second season covered the Queen's life from 1955-1963 while also focusing on Prince Phillip and Princess Margaret. Everything about this show is amazing. Read my review on The Crown HERE

INSECURE
The first season of Issa Rae's Dramedy, Insecure, was good but the second season was amazing. The acting and the story line is everything we need on TV right now and I'm really looking forward to season three. Read my review on Insecure's second season HERE
THIS IS US
I can't get over the awesomeness that is This Is Us, season 2 is only half way gone and it has been such a ride. This show deserves more awards than its actually getting. Let's not even talk about how Sterling K. Brown, Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Justin Hartley and Chrissy Metz give life to their characters. I could talk about this show for hours.

OZARK
Jason Bateman led the phenomenal cast in this dark Netflix drama about family and crime. I found myself rooting for the man who was to blame for the mess he put his family in. Bateman directed two episodes and the show has been nominated for a few awards including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor for Bateman. Read my review of Ozark HERE
THE DEUCE
Yes! One of my favorite shows this year is one that tells the tales about the rise of the porn industry in the 1970's. There are so many ways in which this show would have been a mess but it delivered in more ways than one. James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhal gave award worthy performances which only left me wanting more. Read my review on The Deuce HERE

THE GOOD FIGHT
Even though The Good Wife is over, I still rave about it and I'm honestly thinking of binge watching it again. I was so ecstatic when they announced this spin off and I kept hoping it would be as good as The Good Wife. It lived up to my expectations and I loved every single minute of it with stellar performances from Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo and Rose Leslie. Read my review of The Good Fight HERE

WORST
INHUMANS
I feel so bad for the cast of Marvel's Inhumans because the show was a complete ball of mess. The story was not captivating in any way and it had dialogues that would only make you angry after every episode. I doubt they'll be getting another season from ABC. Read my review of Inhumans HERE

THE DEFENDERS
Marvel brought together four of its TV superheroes which includes Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Daredevil and Jessica Jones and gave us this mini-series that was such a waste of TV time. Watching each episode was torturous for me and I hope we never ever get another season of The Defenders. Read my review of The Defenders HERE
IRON FIST
I'm still trying to understand why Marvel's Iron Fist is getting another season because there was nothing interesting about season one. It also has a story that made me roll my eyes at least 10 times every episode.

24:Legacy is proof that some shows don't need spin-offs. It was a boring and cliche show that shouldn't have been made in the first place. There was nothing fresh about the story line and it only got worse after the pilot.

WHITE FAMOUS
Jamie Foxx is one of the Executive Producers of the Showtime series which stars SNL's Jay Pharoah. I tried so hard to like the comedy series but it just didn't happen. It was a little painful to watch and Jay Pharoah deserves better.
