I have finally created my top television shows for 2023. Alas…SUCCESSION fans will not be pleased since it is not on the list. I confess I am just not into this series, though I do think everyone else will be thrilled with my choices. They are not in any particular order with the exception of my first pick. It is truly hands down, number one. Â

THE BEAR S2 – A top-tier acting, (Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri) writing, comedy/drama that is brilliant, innovative, and a “must-see.”Â
BEEF – A creative and fresh look at “road rage.” Superb leading actors Ali Wong and Steven Yeun.
THE LAST OF US – this apocalyptic series kept me on the edge of my seat. Who knew a video game could become such a hit TV series? I can’t wait for its return.Â
BARRY S4 – a phenomenal way to conclude its journey. Kudos to Bill Hader and Henry Winkler.Â
ABBOTT ELEMENTARY S2 – Quinta Brunson’s brainchild. Funny…poignant…truthful about the mysterious world of teachers.Â
THE DIPLOMAT – a political, spy thriller with a married life edge.Â
DAISY JONES & THE SIX – a musical romp through a band’s petty destiny. Great music and solos by Riley Keough.Â
THE CROWN S6 – the magnificent talent of Elizabeth Debicki as Diana. Tragic and stunning.Â
SHRINKING – Harrison FordÂ
TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS – the epic tale led by the most talented Kathryn Hahn.Â
LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY – I fell in love with Brie Larson and 6:30. “Chemistry is life.”Â
THE GILDED AGE S2 – Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon, and spectacular, period costumes.
