in the comments let me know what are your top 10 shows that you saw in 2020 and let's discuss those
shows in the comments below so before i get into my actual list i do have some honorable mentions
now these shows i really enjoyed i reviewed them all had a good time with them but they just
weren't able to make the cut but starting off with my honorable mentions coming from amazon prime we
have the boy season two we had a couple shows on hulu that i enjoyed like the great and love victor
and then on hbo and hbo max we had perry mason the third day we are who we are the undoing and i know
this much is true again i really enjoyed all those shows check out my reviews check out the shows but
they just weren't able to make the top 10 lists and speaking of that list let's go ahead and kick
things off with number 10 which i think is the best feel good story of 2020 and that is apple tv
plus ted lasso again i was so impressed by this show when i saw the trailer i'm like ah i like
jason sedakis you know i'm not a big fan of soccer and football but let's give it a shot and boy was
i blown away this is again coming from someone who doesn't really watch football doesn't really watch
soccer uh i was blown away by how much i was invested in the sports aspect now again sports
growing up playing sports it's all about bringing people together right no matter what walk of life
they come from i love tat lasso as a character i love his coaching his life lessons that he gives
to his players and ted lasso is a character he's just such a fun character a loving character and
i just really enjoyed the performance by jason sedakis and the whole damn crew i you won't be
disappointed give the show a watch again it's on apple tv plus it's going to put a big old smile on
your face it's a really feel good show and that's why i came in at my number ten ted lasso switching
gears to my number nine which was a show that actually made my top 10 netflix series and that
is season two of netflix is the umbrella academy i love this family i thought season two was just as
good if not better than season one it was bigger it was bolder but it still had the characters that
i love and it even grew on those characters in regards to development their family drama their
complications there's time travel we're in the 60s we got five doing all the crazy stuff that he does
i love the show because i love kind of the the quirky wildness kind of the the out of nowhere
left field type of characters in their power sets but this is such a fun show i can't wait to see
what they have in store for us for season three and that's why the umbrella academy season two
is making my number nine coming from netflix so switching over to my number eight now this was a
show that came out right around the same time this time last year and that is hbo's the outsider now
we're dealing with el cuco we got a stephen king book that came out roughly around four or five
years ago it's a fairly new stephen king book but i don't want to give too much away of the
plot but let's just say again if you know stephen king you notice some supernatural stuff going on
some horrific horror vibes going on with the show the performances were great you have cynthia rivo
ben mindelson the cast is incredible it's scary it's a thriller el cuco if you're familiar with
him and his folklore it's a very fascinating scenario in regards to his what the supernatural
elements of this show you have jason sedakis i'm sorry jason bateman attached to this who i'm a big
fan of jason bateman him as an actor he's in the show but he's also directs the first two episodes
it's dark it's scary it leaves you on the edge of your seat and right now season two hbo passed into
season two and i don't know why because it doesn't speak to the quality of the show but they they're
not doing a season two but it is being shopped around right now stephen king's even came out
and said we the scripts are available we're done with the script of season two so i'm looking at
you netflix so i'm looking at you amazon pick this show up you have something good on your
hands i really recommend you all give it a shot and that is season one of the outsider on hbo
switching over to my number seven we have on disney plus the mandalorian season two which i
thought season two was just as good as season one seeing the growth of mando and seeing his journey
with the child and getting to reveal the child's name i don't want to spoil anything for those that
haven't seen season two quite yet but this season was bigger but also still had incredible stakes
we get the introduction of some uh let's just say some other characters outside
of the uh the star wars movie some characters that may or may not be on some animated shows
and then that finale again i don't want to spoil the finale but we get a character that
i absolutely love making an appearance i thought it was a great story i thought it was bigger
it was uh it was the flow of the show the direction was great about all the different
directors that we got this season and um man i love the mandalorian season two can't wait to see
what we get with season three on disney plus but that is my number seven the mandalorian season two
switching gears to my number six i'm a big sci-fi fan and this is sci-fi at his best
and i'm talking about fx on hulu devs i am a huge alex garland fan annihilation
you have 28 days that he wrote and of course you have ex machina he brings all that greatness for
those films and injects it into a miniseries which was one of my favorite series this year
again it's sci-fi at its best you have great performances you have these story lines involving
life and death and are things predetermined do we have any say in what we do in our lives it's deep
it's heavy it's incredibly well lit in regards to the lighting the cinematography the score
the acting the direction by alex garland again if you're a sci-fi fan like i am you will not
be disappointed by fx on hulu devs coming in at number six so before i get into my number five
and my number four three two one make sure if you all haven't already to like this video share this
video again leave your comments below your top 10 shows that you saw last year and let's discuss
those shows in the comments so starting off with my number five this was another show that made my
top 10 netflix series and i was very impressed by this show and it had to make this list i'm talking
about netflix's the queen's gambit as i said in my netflix video uh dropping my top 10 shows there
it's any taylor joy it's the supporting characters it's the story it's a seven hour movie essentially
we're seeing this again i was talking about i'm not a fan of soccer i'm not a fan of chess
but i was so invested in this story about a chess prodigy player how she's dealing with
alcoholism drug addiction having a character you know she's a she had to become a woman so early at
a young age it's an incredible show you all have probably heard about it at this point but you
if you haven't watched it you're doing yourself a disservice you're missing some great storytelling
and that's why the queen gamut comes in at my number five on netflix going into my number
four this was my favorite murder mystery of 2020 i'm talking about the one and only apple tv plus
defending jacob this was such a great story every single week did he do it did he not do it
it's such a great thriller it's all highlighted by great performances led by captain america himself
chris evans i love the direction i love the look of the show i love the thriller aspect i love the
mystery aspect i covered the hell out of the show on this channel i have my definitive answer on if
jacob did it or not but check out the show if you haven't already check out my reviews i did a deep
dive of every single episode we even did a watch long for the finale i love defending jacob again
this is another apple tv show if you all don't have apple tv you're missing out on some great
movies some great original shows i was blown away by defending jacob which was on apple tv
plus and it comes in at my number four going into my number three which happens to be a season three
of one of my favorite shows on television that is netflix's ozark i love the bird family i love
all the family dynamics we get in this season from marty from wendy from the kids to helen to
you know we got ruth we got ben i mean the characters omar navarro the drug war going on
this show is so incredible i love that you know at first right people compared this to breaking bad
and sure breaking bad is one of my favorite shows probably my favorite show of all time and it had
a similarity sure money laundering drug dealer dad trying to protect his family all that but
this show is his own thing now and even when people were comparing it to breaking bad i thought
that was a compliment because it's like i said breaking bad is one of the greatest shows ever so
i love this show i love that we're gonna get a part four season four is gonna be split into two
parts i can't wait to see what the bird family whatever how this story is gonna wrap up but in
particularly in this season seeing how marty works his way around the fbi while trying not to step
toes or on omar and helen and it's just in ben oh my gosh ben's character was so this is like
a nuclear bomb in this season i love ozark season three and that's why it's coming in at my number
three from netflix season three of ozark so now we're approaching the top two now this show here
spoke to me on another level i was so impressed by the show as a black man
seeing these type of stories told on this type of platform hbo hbo max i'm talking about love
craft country atticus letty ruby hippolyta this was such an incredible journey again
this show spoke to me on so many levels from the subject matter to seeing black content created
seeing misha green bringing us you know jonathan majors who just stole 2020 and his career is
blowing up germany smalled i mean the cast was incredible that i'm a big horror fan so seeing
each episode dive into different sub-genres of body horror ghosts haunted house monsters love
crafting and monsters i was absolutely blown away by that but again it's going back to just seeing
i i said it in my review and i covered a lot of lovecraft country and i've had so much fun doing
so but as i said in those reviews this show reminded me of the importance of how black
panther was to the film industry in 2018 i feel like lovecraft country was that same type of
conversation that type of importance of seeing black people being represented in the horror
vein with hbo being backing behind it now there isn't any word of a season two if we don't go
to season two i will be heartbroken but they i do think they concluded the story well there
are some loose threads and hopefully we get a season two misha green but nonetheless i love
season two or sorry season one of hbo's lovecraft country and that's why it's my number two can't
recommend that show enough so we've approached number one and if you all know me you've been
following me for a while you know how much i love this show it's one of my favorite shows
of all time i'm talking about season three of netflix's dark i say it all the time do not be
discouraged by having subtitles in german if so you're missing out on one of the greatest stories
ever told i love time travel as i mentioned i love sci-fi this is the best time travel show
of all time this has some of the best casting we have different versions of the character the
adults and younger version the casting was perfect the acting was perfect the direction the writing
again this is the most one of the most complicated stories i've ever seen but has a great conclusion
in season three it is an incredible season it wraps up everything perfectly they even introduce
i don't want to spoil anything for those i haven't seen dark but it introduced something pretty big
into this new season while still concluding the first two seasons it is incredible how
everything was mapped out how everything played out i love dark i can't speak highly enough on
one of the best shows ever made do yourself a favor and watch netflix's dark you will not
be disappointed so netflix dark season 3 comes in at number one there you have it that's my list of
