Honestly, I don\u2019t know how other outlets do it! Top 10? Try Top 50! And we all know, of course, that <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/succession-season-finale-questions\/\"><em>Succession<\/em><\/a> is riveting, that <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/underground-railroad-barry-jenkins\/\"><em>The Underground Railroad<\/em><\/a> was a triumph, that <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/white-lotus-season-2-hbo-announcement\/\"><em>White Lotus<\/em><\/a> surprised everyone.

Which is amazing. Like, how lucky are we that there is so much really <em>good<\/em> television out there? But if I\u2019m honest, when I think about the shows that I truly <em>loved<\/em> watching this year, the ones that spring to mind are silly, joke-dense comedies like Peacock\u2019s <em>Girls5Eva<\/em> and HBO Max\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/helene-yorke-other-two-interview\/\"><em>The Other Two<\/em><\/a>. And I was <em>shocked<\/em> to find myself absolutely charmed by Netflix\u2019s <em>The Baby-Sitters Club<\/em>; I started watching to prep for an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/baby-sitters-club-momona-tamada-interview\/\">Momona Tamada<\/a> and found that watching the show was like being hugged by your kindest, smartest, funniest friend. But, ok, if I had to narrow it down to my absolute favorite TV-watching experience of the year, it has to be <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/elizabeth-olsen-jimmy-fallon\/\"><em>WandaVision<\/em><\/a>. Watching it week to week and puzzling out its various mysteries along with everyone else in the world was a blast. No joke, I still occasionally find myself wishing there was more <em>WandaVision<\/em> in my life.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Search Party Season 4 | Official Trailer | HBO Max\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZbQFVZGFlwg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>Josh Sokol, Multimedia Producer<\/h5>\n<p>I\u2019ll be honest, I was a little late to this party (get it?). I started watching <em>Search Party<\/em> at the end of 2020 when only the third season had aired. But luckily for me, a fourth came out right as we entered 2021. It\u2019s a satirical, dark and comedic epic following the story of a New York City friend group (sort of) trying to uncover the truth about the disappearance of a college acquaintance. Basically, for me, if you throw Alia Shawkat into the cast of any show, I\u2019m going to end up watching it, and <em>Search Party<\/em> is no exception. The show is set to release its fifth and final season in January, so you better catch up!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mare of Easttown: Official Trailer | HBO\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bm7RmpzCeyk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>Hannah Militano, Contributing Writer<\/h5>\n<p>I\u2019m a big fan of procedural dramas, as well as a true-crime buff so when I heard <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/mackenzie-lansing-mare-of-easttown\/\"><em>Mare of Easttown <\/em><\/a>was coming to HBO, I was prepared to be obsessed.
