    I have my usual cranky opinions about that TV list — and ALL LISTS — but several shows shouldn't be on it at all (Queens Gambit, Baby Reindeer) & it feels like it's going to be missing a bunch of key series, especially The Good Fight, Evil and High Maintenance... plus Bojack should be higher up

    When the show Baby Reindeer came out, I was experiencing a violent stalker who liked to describe the expressions I might make while he had me gang raped or how it might feel to individually break all of my bones & puncture my organs. I didn't know what it was when I turned it on. I threw up.

    Some shows you may not have heard of: **British comedy**: * **The Young Ones** - Absurdist British comedy about a group of students who live together. * **Bottom** - More silly comedy with Rick Mayall and Adrian Edmondson who were also in *The Young Ones*. They play two loser roommates who can't get a date. *"Bloody lesbians!"* * **The Office** - IMO much better than the American adaptation. Ricky Gervais at his most painfully awkward. * **Little Britain** - Quite possibly the greatest sketch…
