Daredevil season 2 episode 3 New Yorks Finest
Im going to level with you.
As a superhero fan, I like when things get operatic.
I like when they get high-concept.
I like when theyre earnest and heightened and melodramatic.
And this episode ofDaredevilabsolutely nailed all of that.
On paper, it could be ridiculous.
[The episodes premise] couldve been super-contrived and overly convenient.
By James Hunt
Also ran:Season 2 episode 4,Penny And Dime.
It also looks gorgeous, and gives us rare time with Mona, Charlotte and Jenna.
Theres a palpable momentum to the entire hour.

Its a drama that doesnt seek to polemicise or convince, but to comprehend.
It only elevates us.

It was, like most things onHappy Valley, handled in a way utterly resistant to overstatement.
Imagine bringing a creature like that into your home,Happy Valleysays.
Wouldnt you always be on edge?
Are there really monsters, this series asks?
There are just people.
Greedy, selfish, insecure, vulnerable people, each with their own slants on the truth.
And then theres Catherine.
And theres Tommy Lee Royce And theres the ominous question of in whose footsteps Ryan will follow.
Its a sensational place to leave series two.
And this was a sensationally strong series.
Also ran:Series 2, episode 5.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend episode 11 That Text Was Not Meant For Josh!
One of 2016s very few saving graces was the addition ofCrazy Ex-Girlfriendto Netflix UK.
Reckon you could predict exactly whats going to happen?

Stranger Things Chapter Seven: The Bathtub
This shows young cast is one of its real assets.
But heck: what a show.
Superb performances, exquisite writing, and arguably the surprise TV treat of the year.
A stunning finale to a very special series.
By Simon Brew
Also ran:Episode 5The Race Card, episode 8A Jury In Jail.
Its also got a good claim to being the best series currently airing anywhere.
Not bad for a comedy show were talking animals co-exist with humans (and also non-talking animals bizarrely).
By Nick Hollywood Horton
Also ran:Season 3 episode 11Thats Too Much, Man!
Hell, there was even a cliff-hanger.
By Michael Noble
Also ran:season 4 episode 12,The Animals.
Its human beings who confuse me.
These are the words of Bernard Lowe moments before a shocking revelation.
Perhaps the shocking revelation of the whole first season.
In fact, if I may gloat a moment, I did.
Ah, that feels good.
By David Crow
Also ran:Episode 1The Original, Episode 2Chestnut, Episode 10The Bicameral Mind

Whys he shouting about a Kate?
Ill tell you why.
Because Kate Fleming did it.
She saw through the charade, put in the graft and got the bastard.
Also ran:Episode 3,The Defence Calls.
There are no nasty shocks, just wistful, philosophical reflection about subjects that affect us all.
Plus a score by Clint Mansell.
Whats truly satisfying aboutSan Juniperois that it provesBlack Mirroris never just one thing.
Also ran:Series 3 episode 6Hated In The Nation.
Also nominated (but not by quite enough people to make it!)
