What are your top picks for the year?

For me its One Day. Still crying.

Enjoying Dark Winds also.

Overall I think 2024 has been a good year. Personal highlights,

The Gentlemen; 2024 (TV series) Enjoyed the film, the TV series did not disappoint.

Rivals; a refreshing and good fun romp, unlike anything else on TV.

Bad Monkey; another refreshing, if somewhat aimless drama, not without its faults, but enjoyable.

Mr Bates vs the Post Office; for obvious reasons, let’s hope, it was not in vain.

For some reason, this thread seems to have fallen flat on its face, as the year has ended, I’ll give it one last breath.

As I stated above, I think 2024 has been a great for TV/Network productions. A few additions to the above,

Black Doves/Day of the Jackal, both very far fetched, somewhat flawed but enjoyable.

The Diplomat S2, really does stretch credulity, however, great acting, superb script, fun with a large dash of mischievousness

Landman, Texas oilmen, boom and bust culture, trashy lifestyle, dry and incredibly funny, superb casting; how close is it to reality, I have no idea, but its fun watching.

What did you watch on the telly in 2024; that you’d recommend to us.

Not 2024, but honourable mentions to Sense8 and 30 Coins, excellent sci-fi and horror.
