Hello, hello,
This has been a year of great international TV shows! We've had some really good ones streaming even in India and so, without much ado, here is our list of favourites from 2021.
1. Only Murders in the Building: Oh my God! Hands down my absolute favourite show this year just so so so good. It's equal part funny, warm, goofy and a solid mystery. I love everything about this show and am currently re-watching it because it's just the thing to binge this time of year. I love these characters and I can't wait for season two and be reunited with these darling people. Please watch it if you haven't, it's streaming on Disney Hotstar.
2. Wanda Vision: Some MCU to save the day and give us a much needed revisit with out favourite people. This show is a whole other ballgame, very different from what Marvel has done so far. A hat tip to sitcoms from the golden era of American sitcoms and so enjoyable and kickass. Brilliant, this is streaming on Disney Hotstar too.
3. Yellow Jackets: A newer show and one that's still on going and one that I haven't heard too many people talk about. This show is a mystery drama and a little bit of an ode to classics such as Lord of the Flies and series such as Lost. A time split narrative split between 1996 and present day. A girl's soccer team is marooned in the middle of nowhere for 19 months, only six survive and in present day the survivors are being targeted and clearly harbouring some deadly secrets. A very enjoyable show and one I am curious to see where it goes. This is streaming on Voot.
4. 9-1-1: A long time favourite this one of the few network shows I religiously watch and enjoy. Always fun tense and dramatic and so so entertaining. This streams on Disney Hotstar.
5. Death in Paradise: Another constant favourite that I wait for in January and for me this is what the New Year means, a new season of Death in Paradise. A forever favourite and just last night I watched it's Christmas Special episode and it was so good and the new season starts on January 7th! I cannot wait. I love this show and the books based on it. Golden!
6. What If..? : More Marvel magic and Marvel characters with a twist. Fun and voiced by out favourite characters this one is so much fun and kinda important to watch because some of this has bearings on future MCU films...the new Dr. Strange film for sure. Side Note: How hot is the evil Dr. Strange?!!!
7. Mare of Easttown: Kate Winslet killllleddd it in this show. Man, she was so beyond brilliant. Watch it to just see her shine. Also watch it for a slow burn mystery and see a small town in all it's gory glory. So good! Stellar performances and so much more. Streaming on Disney Hotstar.
8. And Just Like That: I went into this with very measured expectations and not knowing what to expect, four episodes in I am happy to report this one is going well. Different from Sex and The City but refreshingly delightful and very much set in today. It's nice to revisit with my favourite NYC ladies and see how they've grown and changed and yet in so many ways remained the same.
9. The Forest: A French drama series about a small town and a missing teenager. Six episodes long and perfectly paced this a great one to binge in a day. This is available on Netflix.
10. Who Killed Sara?: A Spanish drama/ thriller series about a man determined to clear his name and get revenge on those who killed his sister Sara and framed him for her murder. Full of twists and turns this one is worth the ride. This is available on Netflix too.
