My Top Five 2024 Favourite TV Shows

I used to be such a movie watcher, but for some reason I just can’t sit through a film anymore, but strangely I can binge a TV show and did I plenty in 2024.

I’m not sure it was a vintage TV year, although I’m not always watching the most up to date shows, as you’ll probably see from my list. These are My Top Five 2024 Favourite TV Shows 📺

1️⃣ Bad Sisters 1 & 2, Apple TV🧍‍♀️

I was late to this, but I immersed myself in the two season’s of this nuanced and complex black comedy. It’s dark, but has a rich vein of Irish comedy running through it. Season two ended with parallels of the first, with sadly no signs of a third. I will miss the sisters.

2️⃣ Kin 1 & 2, BBC 💊

Wonderfully acted, this hard hitting story depicts the hard inner belly of Ireland’s gangsters. A fictional Dublin family embroiled in a gangland war. I binged both seasons back to back and it has a real edge of the seat brutality to it.

3️⃣ Slow Horses 3 & 4, Apple TV 🕵🏻‍♂️

This sardonic classic British spy show is as loveable as ever made by a fabulous suite of characters led of course by the one and only Gary Oldman. The most unlikely group of champions save the day. Season 5 will drop later this year.

4️⃣ Lincoln Lawyer 3, Netflix ⚖️

I forgot how good this was. Season 3 built on the other two excellent series. Loads of twists, a clever plot and characters that you can buy into especially Mickey Haller. A well written and addictive courtroom drama.

5️⃣ Mr Bates v Post Office, ITV 📬

This 4-part series based on the real-life story of postmaster Alan Bates, who led the campaign to expose what is considered the most widespread miscarriage of justice in British history was a real eye-opener. Toby Jones was brilliant.

📺 Honourable Mentions: Back Doves; The Gentleman.
