TOP 10 TV SHOWS I WATCHED IN 2023
1. GREASE: RISE OF THE PINK LADIES
this prequel to grease tells the story of how the “pink ladies” gang was created. it follows new original characters, although the younger versions of some movie characters are also shown/mentioned. it is a beautiful musical about feminism, love, friendship, racial relationships and queerness in the 50s. the songs stuck in my head & my heart. and it quickly became one of my favorite shows ever. incredibly devastating that it only got one season, because it was very unique and important.
2. FREERIDGE
on my block’s spin-off. it’s just as unhinged, dripped in magic and ridiculousness. less violent than its predecessor, it follows a group of four friends who come into possession of a “cursed” box, and as they try to get rid of it, shenanigans ensue. you’ll see a few familiar faces from omb and fall in love with the new ones. experience this block’s craziness again or for the first time. be gnomes ahead.
3. EVERYTHING NOW
tells the story of mia as she returns from rehab for ed, and tries to catch up on her teenage experiences. secret hookups, betrayals, love triangles, lying and pretty people. similar in tone to heartbreak high & genera+ion.
4. VAMPIRE ACADEMY
it’s about a royal vampire and her half-vampire protector, as they navigate their duties after a tragic event changes their lives.
rose and demitri’s love story certainly carries the show. the cast is great and it’s a fun watch. definitely a step up from the movie.
5. SHRINKING
jason segel plays a therapist who starts telling his patients what he really thinks, while trying to maintain a relationship with his daughter (lukita maxwell) and estranged friends.
it just felt very fun and warm to watch.
6. CITY ON FIRE
a girl is shot in the central park. and it intertwines lives of a boy who’s in love with her, a rock band and a rich powerful family. in trying to figure out what happened to sam, charlie realizes the girl of his dreams had more secrets than he suspected.
the cast is perfect and billy is the best character, that’s all i have to say. this show’s exciting, dramatic, in parts reminded me of gossip girl, succession, 13rw and grand army.
7. HIGH SCHOOL
twin sisters in the 90s grow closer as they learn how to write music. they experience first love, make new friends and deal with family issues.
the true story of how tegan&sara became the musical duo that they are.
8. HARLAN COBEN’S SHELTER
after a traumatic accident mickey moves to his dad’s childhood home, where he uncovers mysteries connected to his parents’ work.
reminded me of teen wolf, because the storyline is dark but the friendship and humor of the main characters shine through.
9. YEAR OF
a group of classmates try to overcome the loss of their friend. heartbreak high made me interested in aussie shows. and this had similar energy.
10. QUEEN CHARLOTTE
a fictional story of a young queen’s marriage to the king of england. bridgerton’s spin off which imo was better made than the original show.
(x) "There was a time where it was very possible that you would be attracted to someone and they were also attracted to you. But they were living in this place called The Closet, which was not a place. It was not an apartment building. It was an existential existence that one could have. [...] Sometimes I liked being in the closet with people. [...] People are like, No, no gay utopia, but there's a reason why we keep writing books about it and songs about it and TV shows about it and movies about it. It feels good to feel bad. [...]"
"Like, if Taylor Swift marries that football player, you're all f*cked, you know. Like if she marries that football guy. That very... That I don't understand. I don't know what's happening. Anyways. I'm just saying, don't root against people. But also, are you sure you want to root for them?"
