Below is our updated running tally of the TV shows most frequently mentioned by individual critics in their year-end Top Ten lists. Note that if a critic ranks more than the standard 10 shows, we will not include titles ranked 11th or worse. (We do include unranked lists of 11-20 titles, though each title gets just one-half of a point.) In case of a tie for first or second, each show will receive the full points for that position.

Tracker for TV series not started yet that I want to (re)Watch eventually...
no spoilers, no sneak peaks. these tv shows are like my children, don't ask me to pick a favorite. these tv shows transcend the box that contains them.
Every show I watched that was on in 2018 (generally going by UK broadcast dates).
NOTES:
Some of these seasons were split across two broadcast years.
Star Trek: Discovery refers to season 1-B.
The Good Place refers to season 2-B.
Star Wars Resistance refers to season 1-A.
Would you rather fight 1 horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?
English series watched in 2022
Dropped shows will feature its Completed seasons here (if any).
