favorite tv show you’ve watched/discovered this year

MANHATTAN and, yes, i know you said i'm the only person you know you watched it, but i gotta rep my show. it's... incredible. def the best kept secret of prestige tv and MAD MEN's true heir (both are period shows set in the workplace, their structures are alike, and had incredible attention to detail/acting/directing/writing (especially this)). the first half of s1 is good, if rocky, but once it got going, it became smth truly special and that second season is one of my fave seasons of tv already. i could go on for longer, but i'm not gonna clog people's dashes w the ramblings of a lunatic about a show they haven't even heard of, so i'll stop for now

favorite platonic relationship you discovered this year

i think maybe issa and molly on INSECURE (tho that entire group of friends w tiffany and kelli is amazing). i luv friendships btwn women especially when they're rocky because there's so much more to explore there and i think the way the series shows theirs is interesting (their scenes in the last two seasons have been marvelous). they really make me wish i had started the show earlier because imagine watching their relationship evolve w time btwn seasons :'((

a tv show you didn’t plan to watch this year but ended up watching (and loving) (or not)

hmmmm i didn't expect to watch HALT AND CATCH FIRE this year, but a couple of friends kinda got me to do it and oh, MAN. i didn't really love it in s1, but it got better and better and s4 is such a stunner, i don't wanna finish it. i watched 4x7 earlier today and i've been a mess ever since then because, well, if you know why, you know why. and those character dynamics! they're incredible (donna and cam could have been another answer to the q above tbh. they are so fascinating together and i loved them so much in s3). a late entry to my list of fave discoveries of the year, but a welcome one

a tv show you’re looking forward to watching next year

those watergate shows - GASLIT and WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS, if they'll come out in 2022. but other than those, i'm excited to start a bunch of kdramas (including HEALER and WAIKIKI) at the rec of my friends, EVIL (cause everybody talks about it and i wanna see katja herbers be unhinged), THE KILLING (the american version, tho maybe i might watch the original one too) and GOSSIP GIRL (yes, i never watched the original show, but i've wanted to do it for years).

favorite episode you’ve watched this year

YES!!!! Lost was the first show I started watching (almost) from the start and my first real fandom and like, even though there’s possibly been some ships I’ve loved more, because of all the history there, nothing can ever like, surpass my Investment in Sawyer/Kate.

ooooh these are GEWD, thank you milka!! <3

both rihanna and beyonce are incredible people, but if we were just going by music alone, bey wins! i’ve always just listened to her stuff more

AHHHH keira was my childhood and i still haven’t finished her filmography unlike lily’s... i will have to say lily (for now??)

luv my broody son mattstopher but i think in terms of understanding each character and how they relate to myself, i choose jess!

hobbits because that’s basically me :3

rain! snow is just. too extra

def listening to faves over and over, i’m such a creature of habit
