My favorite TV of 2025
Note that I make no effort to see all notable television and I am not a TV critic.
1. Jeopardy!
I like Jeopardy! more than all other television combined.
2. The Studio, S1
I have nothing original to say about this, but it was great fun.
3. The White Lotus S3
Immediately after I saw this, I felt underwhelmed, but it's grown on me upon reflection. It's visually wonderful and thematically unified in a satisfying way.
4. Your Friends and Neighbors S1
Basically everyone is perfectly cast, and Jon Hamm has a perfect Jon Hamm role. Lots of fun.
5. The Morning Show S4
The Morning Show gets criticism it deserves (e.g., for having too many subplots, some of which don't get resolved and some of which don't ring true in the first place). But it tends not to get enough credit for what it does well: lots of good characters and nuance in its depiction of media.
6. Only Murders in the Building, S4
Very uneven, but the good parts are good enough to make it watchable. The best Oh Hell content in the history of television (that I know of).
