There were so many great shows this year and they kept popping up everyday which made it really hard to keep up. From Netflix's "Maniac", Hulu's "Homecoming" and BBC's "Cry", it's been an awesome year for TV with some of these shows getting Golden Globe nominations. Below are five of my favorite TV shows in 2018.
5.
SHARP OBJECTS
I'm not one to stay away from anything starring Amy Adams because her talent as an actress cannot be denied and she proved it yet again in the HBO Psychological Mystery where she played a disturbed Journalist tasked with writing and investigating some mysterious murders in her small home town. I knew Sharp Objects was going to be good but I wasn't expecting my mind to be blown away by the fantastic story and acting especially from Amy Adams and the stunning Patricia Clarkson. I was glad I didn't read the book it was based on by Gillian Flynn because I probably wouldn't have been as shocked as I was after the finale. Amy Adams' acting was phenomenal and I couldn't get enough of her. I still can't the final scene out of my head.

PATRICK MELROSE
I'm a little bit obbsessed with Benedict Cumberbatch aka Sherlock aka Doctor Strange and watching him play the titular character in the Showtime Drama was mind blowing. The way he potrayed this character was so beleivable that you would actually think it was real. I'll probably never forget the first episode where he portrayed at least five different personalities in less than 5 minutes. Jennifer Jason Leigh also did a fantastic job as his characters mother. This show left me speechless and made me more appreciative of Cumberbatch's astounding acting skills. I loved how the story protrayed the adverse effects of sexual abuse and how it could affect a person mentally.
3.
KILLING EVE
There was so much rave about Killing Eve on the Internet and how much of a good job BBC was doing and I knew I had to see it. I love shows about serial killers/assassins and this was no different. Jodie Comer plays Villanelle / Oksana Astankova, a psychopathic assassin who becomes obsessed with Sandra Oh's character, Eve. Jodie Comer is the one who brings this show to life with her fantastic acting. It was so fun watching her because her character was so unpredictable and I kept wondering what she was going to do next. It's definintly one of my favourite shows this year and I can't wait for season 2.
2.
BODYGUARD
BBC was on a high this year as they kept putting out so many awesome shows and Bodyguard starring Game of Throne's Richard Madden was one of my favourites. Theres this unexplainable rush I felt when watching an episode backed up by the fantastic soundtrack that kept me on the edge of my seat every week. It was amazing what Richard Madden did with his role and I look at him in a whole new light since I watched all 6 glorious episode of Bodyguard. It had all the ingredients of a superb Crime Thriller which is why it broke BBC's record as the Most Watched TV Drama since 2008.
1.
AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE
I've always loved Darren Criss but I saw him a different light after watching him play serial killer Andrew Cunnanan in Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story. This was more of Cunnanan's story and I loved how it played out on screen. It was intense and Criss' acting gave me serious goosebumps especially in the final episode. The second season of Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story wasn't particularly as great as great as the first one but it was unforgettable.
