The Best TV Shows of 2020

While movies slipped away and vacated their summer release spots, it was TV that kept us entertained at home in 2020. Tiger King glued us to the small screen in the early going, with its unbelievable twists and larger-than-life characters. Then we rocketed through a fantastic range of shows, from The Last Dance, to I May Destroy You, Lovecraft Country and more.

We've devoured a lot of TV this year - and in a year like this we needed the distraction. Here's what we've picked as the best TV shows that debuted in 2020.

Entertain your brain with the coolest news from streaming to superheroes, memes to video games.

Never Have I Ever

Devi is your average high schooler who wants nothing more than to be cool and get a boyfriend. But it's hard to stay chipper after your dad dies. Mindy Kaling's coming-of-age story covers familiar territory and yet it stands out from the pack in multiple ways. Get this: Its narrator is John McEnroe. The sporting connection is just one layer of this surprising, charm-your-socks-off show, depicting an Indian family living in California. You've seen these stories before, but not with these unique characters.

The entire show is hilarious, but the best episode of the first season was A Dark Quiet Death. This episode is heartbreaking, beautiful and just so amazing to watch.
