Looking back at my favorite TV shows of 2023, the list would have to include the latest (and in some cases, the last) seasons of “Fargo,” “Winning Time,” “The Bear, “Ted Lasso,” “Succession,” “Billions,” “For All Mankind,” “Somebody Somewhere,” “Schmigadoon,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Barry,” “Party Down,” “The Afterparty, ” “Yellowjackets,” “Reservation Dogs” and “The Gilded Age.”
If we’re not in the Platinum Age of television, it’s still pretty golden. Having said that (to quote “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” which returns in 2024 for one last season), rather than revisit shows we’ve already praised multiple times, let’s concentrate on the best NEW series of 2023. As much as I enjoyed the likes of newcomers “The Curse,” “Fellow Travelers,” “Lucky Hank,” “The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart” and “Jury Duty,” here are my Top 5.
