These are my top TV shows that I watched in 2022. As with the movies, I'm posting this now because I never got around to it last year.
Also like the movies, these are just what I watched in 2022, not series that came out in 2022. They also have to be new to me in 2022, so no series with new seasons that I’d already been following. These aren’t necessarily the best shows, just ones I really liked or made an impression on me. I’m including both running series and limited or miniseries.
These shows are in no particular order, I just arranged the posters how I thought they'd looked the best. The shows are:
This is Going to Hurt
Shining Girls
The Haunting of Bly Manor
For All Mankind
Unbelievable
Five Days at Memorial
Succession
The Patient
Yellowjackets

Apparently there's going to be an Apple TV+ (which I don't have) series on what went down at Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina, where medical staff–most notably Dr. Anna Pou, who went on to write legislation that would protect doctors like her–murdered disabled patients "for the greater good". Which is something I wish was talked about more.

we recently watched Five Days At Memorial, a drama about a doctor at memorial hospital murdering disabled people (””euthanasia””) during Hurricane Katrina. It was absolutely harrowing and horrific on every single level. Prior to this show I didn’t know the intricacies of what happened during and after the Hurricane Katrina--I was a young person on the other side of the country when it happened and the level of clusterfuck was such that it was years before we had a full grasp on what had happened and how bad every level of government response was.
But I feel that eventually, as a person, it’s on you to learn about stuff you don’t know anything about! The alternative is to just stay ignorant forever, which, nope. So I’ve been trying to read about it, and there is literally so much it’s been overwhelming. In my research I came across This Article on the Looting Myth, which I am linking here for archiving purposes. It disturbs me that it was the ‘looting’ I heard about as a kid, instead of how many levees failed, or FEMA being incompetent and led by a white man who lied on his resume, or GWB literally flying over New Orleans but not stopping to offer aid, or the racism that contributed to all of this, or the poverty that meant so many people could not evacuate, or that the levees breaking was the fault of the US Army Corps of Engineers but due to sovereign immunity they can’t be sued or really held responsible in a material way...
and I understand, a little bit more, why Five Days At Memorial was such a powerful story: there were horrific choices made and a lot of suffering and no consequences, which is just a microcosm of Hurricane Katrina itself. Dr. Pou, the murdering doctor, got away with it and is still practicing to this day.
anyway. more and more the early aughts feel like a time capsule because everything was so profoundly different and change has occurred in such a short period of time that it’s difficult to find the language to communicate just how different stuff was. it’s not the change, it’s the rate of change. it’s humbling. how so many things an entire generation takes for granted were started and normalized in that period. but then you see that a lot of things haven’t changed. the levees in New Orleans were conceived of and ground was broken in 1965. the project was estimated to take 13 years. hurricane katrina was forty years later and they still weren’t fully done, which just reminds me of the 1989 agreement to clean up hanford and properly store nuclear waste generated by the manhattan project, which is hideously behind schedule and facing budget cuts! federal incompetency and the lack of consequences of it continues.

Can we just give Vera Farmiga all the awards already?
Everyone involved with Five Days at Memorial deserves all the awards. Both in front of and behind the camera

Five days at Memorial
A+
A plus plus actually.
Before I start let me refer back to a previous review as this show has an intro that will bring the whole family together. The introduction music gets stuck in my head every time and I find myself singing in the accent in which it is sung long after the introduction has ended. It has became my favorite part of the show. I recommend this show to someone and they are hooked.

I was on the phone with them while the introduction was being played and it was back stuck in my head. I watched this show awhile ago but it definitely needed to be highlighted
You can stream this fine piece of work on Apple TV , The show is a true story about Memorial hospital in New Orleans Louisiana when hurricane Katrina flooded the city and what ensued after like the levee system breaking and I’ll leave it there for you guys to pick up. They were stranded with no power and there were some decisions that had to be made by doctors that were between life and death. Being I work at a hospital this show absolutely had my attention from start to finish, it’s a mini series so I think like 8 episodes. Definitely recommend it.
