TV is really, <strong><em>really<\/em><\/strong> good. It might even be better than movies. Don\u2019t tell all those directors that I said that, though.

There\u2019s the story of Beth (<strong>Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong>) the orphan, trying to fill the hole in her heart with pills and booze and impermanent mentor figures. There\u2019s the saga of Beth the genius, pristine in her competence, perpetually improving as a chess player in a near-fantastical narrative arc. Then there\u2019s perhaps the most interesting piece, the one that runs as an undercurrent through the series: the tale of Beth the woman.<\/p>\n<p>For a long stretch of <em>The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em>, chess stands in as a metaphor for sex, a breath-taking power exchange that leaves both parties sated or, at the height of Beth\u2019s dominance, craving more. Even when they\u2019re platonic, the chess games on screen are still clearly tied to womanhood and gendered power. All these disparate pieces shouldn\u2019t go together, but they manage to add up to something great thanks to Taylor-Joy\u2019s pitch-perfect performance and a narrative that hooks you early on and never lets you go.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_Normal_People\"><\/span>18.

The pair are pushed together and pulled apart again and again, like waves to the shore, as each struggles to pin down the other\u2019s ever-shifting self-image. Every aspect of the Ireland-set series is shot through with loneliness, from the acting to the cinematography, but the yearning for connection is palpable, too. While the pair\u2019s star-crossed schtick is slightly more exhausting on screen than in the book, defining moments still come alive with vivid clarity in a series that often feels like visual poetry.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_The_Umbrella_Academy\"><\/span>17.

The series\u2019 first season was dull and dreary, but its second is a pure, 1960-set delight. After narrowly avoiding the apocalypse, the Hargreeves siblings are yeeted across space and time, with each one landing in Dallas, Texas, a few months or years from the next. This is a super-clever conceit, made even better by individual storylines that slough off the first season\u2019s dead weight and suit each character to a T. <em>The Umbrella Academy\u2019<\/em>s second season doesn\u2019t just deliver adventurous writing, but also choreography, music, direction, and pacing to match. Compared to some of the more introspective titles on this list, this superhero period piece delivers a simple type of joy, but that joy is addictive and absolute, so what\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Schitts_Creek\"><\/span>16.
