This list is all about the best TV shows we\u2019ve seen.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>What can we say about TV in a year like 2020? For one thing, it\u2019s been there for us no matter how bad the world gets, even as some regular seasons were cut short due to unprecedented events. Some of us are watching more television than ever while stuck at home during this global pandemic, while others find ourselves unable to focus on pop culture at all, especially when so many stories already feel outdated (it\u2019s hard not to scream at the screen when people share drinks). If you\u2019re at a loss for what to watch to get you through, we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n<p>At this strange midpoint of a strange year, I polled the staff of Film School Rejects to get our take on the best TV 2020 has to offer so far. The results, as one may predict, include plenty of levity, along with series that ask us big questions about our lives and worlds. Animated series, comedies that\u2019ll make you cry, and speculative fiction that hews close to reality all captured our attention in the first half of the year, while the top spot \u2014 which has rarely if ever gone to a nonfiction series before \u2014 belongs to a deserving, powerful dose of reality delivered in a riveting package. Read on for our picks for the best shows of 2020 so far, presented in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_Call_Saul\"><\/span>Better Call Saul<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bcs\" height=\"500\"  src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BCS.jpg\"  width=\"700\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>We just wr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed up the penultimate season of <em>Better Call Saul<\/em>, or as it should rightly be called, The Kim Wexler Show. Season four ended with Jimmy making his biggest leap yet into the role of Saul Goodman and Kim shaken to her core by it. And while this season could have seen them drift further apart to an ultimate, already-known conclusion (Kim is never so much as mentioned in <em>Breaking Bad<\/em>, of which <em>BCS<\/em> is a prequel), this new batch of episodes has seen Kim take several unexpected and glorious turns, ending with the two of them in a tenuous but supportive balance. It\u2019s unclear how exactly the show is going to deliver its characters to their <em>Breaking Bad<\/em> positions, and this tension has been the constant, unseen source of unspeakable stress throughout this superbly crafted season. I have genuinely no idea where the show is going or how it\u2019s going to end. I\u2019m petrified but so excited.

Pamela Adlon\u2019s semi-autobiographical series about parenting three daughters as a single mom and actor in LA is a testament to the small-screen form and to the empathetic powers of storytelling. In the latest season, Sam Fox (Adlon) begins to recognize the full extent of the anger she\u2019s been left with after divorce while her middle child, Frankie (Hannah Alligood), begins to explore gender and sexuality and forge a path independent of Sam. Describing the series\u2019 plot, even in these broad terms, feels like a betrayal to the series\u2019 loose artistic style, which presents a poetic and powerful flow of feelings and experiences, often in the form of seemingly unconnected vignettes or stories with pieces omitted. Yes, <em>Better Things<\/em> is a comedy about a woman and her kids, complete with temper tantrums and rites of passage, but it\u2019s also one of the most transcendent and bold storytelling experiences on TV, and you shouldn\u2019t miss it.

The HBO series uses several of the same non-professional actors from the film, a group of vibrant and talented girl skateboarders whom Moselle discovered in New York. <em>Betty<\/em>\u2019s presumably bigger budget and slightly more focused feminist narrative make for an incredible viewing experience, as the six-episode first season takes a stoner\u2019s-eye view to the everyday experiences of young women who choose to build their own subculture of acceptance and individuality. Whether they\u2019re taking shady modeling gigs to pay off their drug debts, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ping on mushrooms in a public park with a pet rat, or stuck in a cramped jail cell after popping off at a club, the ladies of <em>Betty<\/em> have confidence, curiosity, and beyond-their-years wisdom that\u2019s impossible not to love.

Already renewed for an eleventh season (not to mention an upcoming movie), we can look forward to even more punny burgers-of-the-day like \u201cIf It\u2019s Yellow Let It Portobello\u201d and the \u201cIn Ricotta da Vida Burger.\u201d No matter what comes in this ever-struggling restaurant family\u2019s way, <em>Bob\u2019s Burgers<\/em> always manages to remind us that with a loving support system and a good sense of humor, no problem is too big to face.

Beginning as a clever and sardonic sendup of Hollywood, the show gradually morphed into an unflinching mirror of everything from the broadest sweeps of society to the deepest, most private struggles of the self. Oh, and it threw in several storytelling <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>-changers along the way. Always driven by an \u201cantihero\u201d protagonist, BoJack walked an ever-narrowing tightrope between his slow march toward personal growth, and the world\u2019s (and audience\u2019s) need to see him own his mistakes. It\u2019s a tightrope any show could easily tangle itself up in, but<em> BoJack Horseman<\/em> did it masterfully, marrying forgiveness and reckoning in an ending that offered no hard answers, but a real promise of something good to come. We never deserved <em>BoJack Horseman<\/em>, but we\u2019re so lucky to have had it.
