The 16 Best TV Shows of 2019

Updated 12/27/19

16. "210 Words Per Minute" (Fear the Walking Dead)

When former power plant operations manager Grace Mu loses consciousness during a supply run at an untapped shopping mall, Morgan helps her to face her mortality and the implications of her radiation sickness. After the two bond, Morgan surprises a tearful Grace by leaving the group.

15. The Bad Mother (Big Little Lies Season 2)
     

This show about five privileged white (mostly) women with varying degrees of familiarity with an evil man pivoted unexpectedly in its second season and cast stones at the series' females, exposing their philandering, lying, bad parenting, bullying and abusiveness (both physical and emotional). The penultimate episode, "The Bad Mother", is the best of the bunch.

14. New Beginnings and 
      The Prophet (Vikings Season 6)

13. The Bells and The Iron Throne (Game of Thrones Final Season)

12. Maximizing Alphaness, RussFest and
      Exit Event (Silicon Valley Season 6)
      

11. Stranger Things Season 3

10. The Last O.G. Season 2

8. The Mandalorian

Aside from episode six, "The Prisoner", The Mandalorian surprisingly outshines several Star Wars feature films (The Phantom Menace, Revenge of the Sith, Solo, The Last Jedi and especially, Attack of the Clones) -- and all on a limited television budget. If Lucasfilm/Disney spent a little more dough on the already completed second season, it may be worth adding to your Star Wars collection.









7. The Toys That Made Us (Season 3)

The products featured in season 3 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Professional Wrestling, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and My Little Pony) represent the bottom of the toy barrel but their backstories are interesting enough to keep your eyes glued to the screen. 









6. The Movies That Made Us

5. Sticks & Stones

4. When They See Us

3. Ballers (Final Season)

Action-star Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson's acting skills are often called into question. But not by anyone who's seen him do his thing on this peek behind the curtain of the NFL.









2. Wu Tang Clan: An American Saga

1. Deion's Double Play
