(Picture: PA Wire)On the villain front we were spoilt for choice in what has been another catastrophic year. The first without Covid restrictions since 2019, we were all set for an unleashing of joy and excitement. Instead, everything went wrong. To live in the UK in 2022 was like being in Stranger Things’ upside down world, where evil was coalescing in a hopeless land of dread, and we were all running up those hills away from Vecna Johnson only to run straight into Liz the Demigorgon. Things were so bad the year even killed off the seemingly immortal Queen.
It was not all villains, of course, some hope lay out there in a clutch of heroes… but let’s face it, we badly need 2023 to turn things around.
