Jeffrey Brown:
And to help guide us through this year's best shows, I'm joined by Lorraine Ali, the news and culture critic of The L.A. Times, and Jen Chaney, TV critic for Vulture and "New York Magazine."
And hello to both of you. Thanks for joining us.
Why don't we start with new shows?
Jen Chaney, you want to start? Give us two.
Jen Chaney, "New York Magazine": Sure.
One of the big shows of the year, especially early in the year, was "The Last of Us," which was a big HBO series based on a very popular, enduring video game, also telling a story of a pandemic, but a different kind of pandemic, but certainly shades of that catastrophic situation that people have to endure through.
I thought it was a wonderful series with two terrific lead performances from Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
