ArcaneA video game adaptation with no bad episodes, and animation nobody else on television is attempting.
Angels in AmericaMike Nichols films Tony Kushner's great play with a cast that swept every acting Emmy, and the language survives the move almost intact.
House of the DragonA civil war fought entirely by one family, with two great performances and a serious pacing problem.
Buffy the Vampire SlayerThe show that taught American television how to build a season, and how to make its teenagers talk.
The LeftoversTwo percent of the world vanishes, the show never explains it, and that refusal is the entire point.
A Knight of the Seven KingdomsA hedge knight, a bald squire and no dragons, and it is the most likable thing Westeros has produced.
LokiA retro bureaucratic office comedy about the end of free will, with the best production design Marvel has funded.
CastlevaniaThe game adaptation that proved Netflix could sell grown-up animation, at its best when Dracula is a grieving widower rather than a monster.
The SandmanReverent, expensive and beautiful, and slightly airless in the way that reverence usually is.
