"2021 was a big year for television. In terms of the sheer number of programs available at our fingertips, it was objectively the biggest year for television. Yet despite the influx of options across a seemingly infinite number of channels and streaming services, 2021 wasn't always the best year for TV. The first quarter of the year was a bit of a dry spell for programming, likely in part thanks to COVID delays. The year also saw the dawn of Marvel's Disney+ TV era. Which brought with it shows that eclipsed everything around them in terms of popularity, if not always quality.
Luckily, by the time 2021 came to a close, the year had upped its TV game considerably. If there's one good thing about having a vast, unprecedented amount of visual art at our fingertips, it's that there's room in the cultural conversation for all types of hits."
