As much as we all wanted to return to normal in 2021, we still ended up spending a lot of time at home and indoors, which means watching a whole lot of tv shows. Thankfully, a lot of great new series (and new seasons) launched this year, leaving us with no shortage of things to tune into and discuss online with friends (and strangers).
This year, our readers picked Apple TV’s Ted Lasso as the number one TV show of the year. This optimism-heavy series was a perfect bit of escapism for a lot of people who wanted to tune out the news of the day, and tune into the ongoing story of the US-football-coach-turned-UK-football-coach. Season 2 aired this summer, with a third season on the way.
