There are rare occasions when one episode of television just takes your breath away. Or makes you laugh. Or think harder. That's the power of television: in the course of about an hour, a single episode can get fully seared in your memory. Fortunately for TV lovers, 2019 was full of a whole slew of incredible television. Taking a bit of inspiration from the realities of 2019 itself, series like Watchmen, Pose, and even Grey's Anatomy (yes, it's still on) tackled the social ires that plague our communities, but there's something extra poignant about seeing those topics seep into the entertainment we consume in our down time. Television has always had a way of making the taboo a bit more digestible, but the stories told on television this year took it to a whole new level.
And even though some of these series didn't see Emmy or Golden Globe nominations, they still managed to occupy a place in our minds.
