So happy to see Top Boy at #8. Feel like this is one of the great shows and it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves.

Rob C

Agreed. Great final season.

The Bear as #1 warms the cockles of my heart. The S2E6 was television at its best.

"Fishes" definitely was an all-timer. Somewhat difficult to watch because I found it so stressful.
The much quieter subsequent episode, "Forks", was my favourite of the year. The cameo at the end capped what, to me, was a perfect episode of TV.

Yeah, Forks was my favorite of the season and one of the best episodes of the year on any show. But to have two such high-quality episodes in one season is a miracle.
