The year is half way gone and now is the
time to list out my favorites. So far, 2018 has been such a good year
for TV with the premiere and return of so many amazing shows. From Benedict Cumberbatch in Patrick Melrose to Christine Baranski in The Good Fight and Donald Glover in Atlanta, it's been a roller coaster.
Here's a list of six of my favorite shows far,
6. THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE-AMERICAN CRIME STORY
The first season of Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story
was phenomenal and it set such a high bar for the second season.
Unfortunately, It wasn't as good as the first but I still enjoyed
watching mostly because of the acting from Glee's Darren Criss
who I think deserves an Emmy for his performance. This story was more
about Versace's killer, Andrew Cunnanan than Versace himself and Criss
outdid himself as the psycho killer.
5. THIS IS US (Season 2)
This Is Us
is one show I never expected to fall in love with. I'm not a sucker for
sappy shows but I couldn't help but fall in love with this Drama.
Season two solidified it's position in my heart and I couldn't get
enough. This is one show everyone needs to see.
4. ATLANTA (Season 2)
Waiting
a whole year to see the second season of Atlanta was not something I
enjoyed but after watching season two, I'm glad they took their time to
give us such an amazing season which I thought was way better than the
first in every way. I found myself tearing up from intense laughter
during most of the episodes except Teddy Perkins of
course. It was so haunting. I still think about that episode sometimes. I
really appreciated Donald Glover for his physical transformation and
the writers for writing an award deserving episode. Robbin Season was
phenomenal.
3. THE GOOD FIGHT (Season 2)
Anyone following my social media knows how obsessed I was (am) with The Good Wife
and it's no different with this Spinoff. I thought Season one was great
but Season Two was perfect. From the court cases, to the subplots and
of course Diane's very infectious laughter.
2. THE HANDMAIDS TALE (Season 2)
I was a bit worried after the first season of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaids Tale
because it was just so good and I wondered if Season two was going to
be as amazing. I'm so glad I wasn't disappointed because this season has
been off the chains. I get goosebumps every single time I think about
this show and I hope Elisabeth Moss gets ALL THE AWARDS because she
deserves it. I can't even begin to imagine the emotional roller coaster
that comes with playing such a role. Everything about this show is
amazing and it should be on every "best shows" list
1. PATRICK MELROSE
I've always loved Benedict Cumberbatch
but it's safe to say I've become somewhat obsessed with him after
seeing him play the titular character in this Showtime Limited Series.
The acting, the screenplay, the setting and the plot were superb. Jennifer Jason-Leigh
was my next favorite after Cumberbatch and she should get a nomination
in the 'Best Supporting Actress" category. She really played the
negligent mother really well, especially the older years. The supporting
cast, including Hugo Weaving, were amazing but it was really
Cumberbatch that held this show together. His acting left me
speechless.
