Like most entertainment critics, I've already shared my list of top 10 shows of 2022. But there are individuals who deserve special recognition. Here are the names, in alphabetical order, that stood out:
Kate Bush. The English pop star remains a recluse but she burst back onto the scene thanks to the clever use of her 1985 single "Running Up That Hill" during key moments on "Stranger Things." It was the perfect marriage of pop and peril.
Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon. "George & Tammy" would have been a fairly standard series about Tammy Wynette and George Jones if it weren't for the stellar performances from its stars. The duo hit all the right notes, even providing their own vocals, a risky proposition when you're mimicking two of country music's most memorable voices.
