So, given that TV time is reaching astronomical heights in 2020, how does one find something to watch, let alone focus on just the best of the best? That’s where we come in. Keeping track of the dizzying amount of television we’ve reviewed so far in 2020 is a task in and of itself, so we’ve tried to make it as easy as possible. Below, we’ve gathered each of our 2020 TV reviews, each with a season number and the network/service where the new episodes first aired for U.S. audiences. Hopefully, this will help you decide what streaming service to spend your dollars on and on what show to spend your precious time.
Every review is organized by the letter grade it received, on our scale of A to F. All links take you to our initial reviews, though ongoing series might have more than one episode review to read. It’s also important to note that reviews were made with a particular amount of episodes on-hand. Some networks provided the entirety of their seasons for review, while others only revealed one or two episodes for review purposes. With that in mind, let’s look at what’s kept us captivated (and bewildered) so far in 2020 [Note: This list is up-to-date as of December 28, 2020]: Chicago Story Film, LLC
