Things take a hilarious turn when they get an automated bounce-back notice from the Mailer Daemon. Nandor, Nadja and Laszlo receive a chain-mail that they must forward to ten people to evade a curse. He also finds a new energy source by trolling people on the Internet. Colin Robinson, the energy vampire who drains his victims by exhausting them with his tedious small talk, gets promoted. Guillermo, who desires to be a vampire, must deal with the conflicting vampire-killing instincts that come from being a descendant of the legendary vampire hunter Van Helsing. The sophomore outing raised the stakes (excuse my terrible puns) as Mark Hamill, Haley Joel Osment and Benedict Wong guest starred. It is hard not to sink your teeth into the new season of Jemaine Clement's mockumentary about four vampires and their familiar living together in Staten Island. Season 4 also had some of the most heart-breaking moments, as it disenchanted a fairy-tale marriage and exposed the royal family's heartless hypocrisy towards its own kin. If Gillian Anderson's Margaret Thatcher served as a political foil to the Queen, Emma Corrin's Princess Diana served as an emotional one. Besides Olivia Colman's Queen Elizabeth II, two other women took centre stage as counterweights this season. Never mind the pissed-off royals, their historians and press secretaries, seeing our once-colonisers as just another dysfunctional family sure makes for great TV. The fourth season was the jewel in its crown.

In a year without Succession, no series could dethrone Peter Morgan's royal drama. If American shows serve it to us as spicy satire like Arrested Development and Succession, British shows serve it as comfort food like Downton Abbey and The Crown. "White rich people dealing with white rich problems" remains one of TV's most satisfying genres. It's more a testimonial to the series that saved us and the year along with it. But this "Best Series List" is less about the usual year-end listeria.

Though I wouldn't say Peak TV reached new peaks, 2020 was still an outstanding year for TV and streaming. GLOW and Teenage Bounty Hunters were unceremoniously cancelled by Netflix so Ryan Murphy could make more haute trash. We bid our goodbyes to BoJack Horseman and The Good Place, two shows which helped us face our demons. Mostly because I craved for more long-term investments to buoy up the long weeks of self-quarantine.īefore we close the door on the COVID-19 year, we must take a moment to celebrate the shows that died a natural death and those that were killed. But I found myself doing the opposite this year. Being (first and foremost) a film writer, I do tend to watch more films than series. They came in the form of binge-able series for me and millions of streaming subscribers. In a year defined by a pandemic and the pandemonium that followed, we all sought an escape, a refuge, some comforting constant.
We were left to our own devices for longer than we would have liked - by devices, I mean our phones and PCs, tablets and TVs.
In 2020, we spent more time indoors than possibly ever before.
