With honorable mentions to Planet Earth II, Happy Valley, Grayson Perry: All Man, The Great British Bake Off, War and Peace, The Crown, the wonderful last season of Parks and Recreation and the magnificent Danny Dyer episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, my favourite TV shows of 2016 were:
The third series of Line of Duty has perfected its formula, with shocks, surprises and brilliant performances all round.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a Netflix gem - weird and wonderful musical (I know) romcom starring the utterly marvellous Rachel Bloom.
Veep has hit new heights in its fifth season, as Selina Meyer finally becomes POTUS, although it is sobering how the supremely ridiculous fictional events have been reflected in real life since transmission.
The Night Manager, obviously.
Stranger Things is pretty indescribable. Weird/twisted/overhyped/pastiche/homage, this horror series is addictive, however you want to describe it.
