Between network TV, cable, and streaming services, there is a cornucopia of content launching every single month. It’s hard to keep up with what’s good outside of things like Netflix’s daily Top 10 list. It’s a golden age for television, but at the same time, it all becomes white noise.
Luckily, GameSpot has come together to make a list of the 10 best TV shows of 2021. After hours and hours of debate, where we all called each other names, screamed at each other, then talked about how uplifting Bluey is, we finally narrowed it down to the top 10.
This year’s selection pulls shows from numerous streaming services and cable networks. From Apple TV+ to Netflix to Disney+ to HBO to FX, there’s a great representation of drama, horror, comedy, and more this year. What it all comes down to is escapism, something we all need a little bit of in 2021.
Below, you’ll find GameSpot’s top 10 TV shows of the year, in no particular order. If you’re interested in what we thought was the best TV show of 2021, check out the GameSpot’s TV show of the year, Midnight Mass.
