30. Zero Zero Zero
Original Name:
ZeroZeroZero
Broadcast:
Sky (in Israel on HOT)
As
requested
by a world-wide series that follows three different centers of drug trafficking in different countries, many key players are involved in "Zero Zero Zero", the cool crime drama of Stefano Sulima ("Gomora" "Sicario").
Despite this, the series does well to focus us each time on a particular occurrence area and make clear to us its connection to the whole picture.
She does this by semi-primitive means: telling a story from one point of view until the characters we have followed encounter others, then going back in time to present us with the second point of view that led to that moment.
This method regularly yields small surprises and twists.
This is part of the super approach of "Zero Zero Zero", which takes care to maintain minorities and restraint.
Sometimes it's in the back, especially when it comes to characters, but in the end Harrison is her great virtue.
Its action is devoid of pomp and heroism, which gives it a naturalistic, 99 percent credible look, illustrating how much of the inconceivable danger and cruelty that accompanies drug trafficking are a casual part of it.
No matter who the victim is, including passers-by, and even small children.
They are all acceptable and inevitable peripheral damage.
The rich production allows Zero Zero Zero to bask in the beauty and uniqueness of the many locations around the globe, and it does so through a spectacular and unexciting chrome photography that looks straight at violence but does not relish it.
Above all these hovers one of the most important elements of the series: the original soundtrack of the Scottish post-rock ensemble Mugwai.
Minimalist, minor, delicate and beautiful - the music paints everything with feelings of tragedy looming, lurking and waiting for the gym to emerge underground and bite.

29. Good things
Original name:
Better Things
Broadcast:
FX (in Israel on yes)
in the 2019 parade:
35th place
"Good Things" has always existed on the thin line between personality and universality, with a stable foothold on both sides, but this season added a new dimension of documentary.
An entire episode filmed in New Orleans painted the screen in a pampering authentic abundance, another episode chose to depict a random night trip through the streets of Los Angeles and an encounter with characters, so much so that it seems that Pamela Adlon actually aspires to make the series a "global journey."
The series of articles Sam did for her actress' host program, some of which were even incorporated into the series itself, painted a fascinating portrait of the female experience in a powerful and enriching way, and it seems as if the entire series has stepped up in the bizarre game of representing true and mature television.
It has been a complex season of acceptance and completion for Sam, who has been forced to release the venom she has accumulated over the years towards her ex-husband, admitting she knows nothing about dating and acknowledging the fact that she is moving away from her teenage daughters.
But the phrase "every mother is a single mother," which has been repeated several times over the course of the season, seems to sum up everything "good things" has tried to say so far, and everything she will continue to say for many seasons to come.

27. Ozark
Original Name:
Ozark
Broadcast:
Netflix
In the third season of "Ozark" it became the series it always wanted to be.
A series of smart decisions, which began with the revival of two of the series ’unbearable characters at the end of the second season, finally led her to the King’s Road.
For example the coupling of two of the orphaned characters, Darlene and Wyatt, who created a new bubble over a small fire (though we could have lived without the escalation in their relationship).
Wendy's brother character, Ben (Tom Palpery, "Banshee") was the epitome of "Ozark"'s fondness for unexpected characters who threaten the heroes' order.
But unlike others in the past of the series, who were driven by caprices and felt more like plot devices than humans, we first knew Ben as a guy's darling before it all went wrong.
Even if the writing in his case was written on the wall, the record is very moving.
And of course, cleverly, Ozark turned the protagonist duo, Wendy and Marty (Laura Linney and Jason Bateman), into their own greatest enemies.
In a sense they have always been like that, but if in the past their uniform front was unbroken, this time they undermined each other in a way that made the third season as enjoyable as it is nerve-wracking.
Their couple therapy has sharpened all the couplings the season has put up - some are distorted and some are beautiful, but all are helpless in the face of the danger and violence that always lurks.
All of these, along with placing the powerful women at the center of the stage - Wendy, Helen, Roth, Darlene - made "Ozark" one of the pleasant surprises of the year.

26. The Conspiracy Against America
Original name:
The Plot Against America
Broadcast:
HBO (in Israel on HOT, yes and Cellcom TV)
wanted fate and the alarming reality that began in 2016 aligned with that experienced by Philip Roth in his youth - the rise of white supremacy in the United States and Jews living in fear in places Many in it.
Thus, although David Simon's adaptation ("The Undertaker," "The Duo") - which of course was in the works long before Donald Trump was elected president - depicts an epic event with global implications and political statements, the premise of "Conspiracy Against America" makes it intimate and Her captivating heroes.
The camera makes sure to consistently emphasize their warmth.
The lights in the Levin family home, the protagonists of the series, are always a little bright, whether it's the sun shining from outside or whether it's bulbs in the evening.
They are the light that is destined to stand in the face of darkness.
It is the sense of identification that the protagonists produce that makes the series gripping and terrifying.
The world closes in on the heroes, their peace is disturbed and their souls are disturbed.
The series does this with almost no shocking and explicit looks, most things are heard on the radio, seen from a distance or after the fact, however this approach only adds to its power.
A feeling that something terrible is lurking around every corner.
Silent hostility, glaring glances, disgusting remarks.
Human evil was just waiting for someone to open the door and allow him to put on a white bonnet and burn some Jews.
Coincidence becomes everyday.

25. Shit's Creek
Original name:
Schitt's Creek
Broadcast:
ITV (soon in Israel on HOT) The
experience of "Shitt's Creek" can not be defined in one season, but in a journey.
This is supposedly an obvious sentence, since any successful series is an ongoing and evolving story, but in this case the end of the road was particularly sweet precisely because of the perspective of the starting point.
This trend can be seen in the episode scores of the series on IMDB which have steadily improved from the first episode to the end.
All of these are not coincidental but certainly surprising, because "Shit's Creek" started out as a pretty empty sitcom.
Her protagonists, sons and daughters of the Rose family who fell from wealth and status at once, looked and behaved just like the clichés of this premise.
We have known countless such stories over the years.
But with perseverance and patience, sometimes almost below the surface, something in them changed.
A change that is both predictable and surprising.
As with quite a few cases in 2020, something in the built-in goodness of “Shit’s Creek” suddenly beamed in a much stronger light.
This is especially true of David and Alexis, the characters who have undergone the biggest change in length, but also of small and exciting revelations (like Stevie who finds peace in the most unexpected place).
And as the last remnants of elitism fell from the heroes in favor of the optimism and goodness that was captured from what they found in town, so did "Shit's Creek" and became a real candy.
Clinging to a simple and effective love story, it dissolves the defenses and remnants of cynicism, convincing us to believe that those closest to us in our lives are simply the best there is.

Original Name:

Broadcast:
Apple TV Plus The
great virtue of M. Knight
Shamalan
's horror drama lies in the atmosphere it creates - a constant, fascinating creepy atmosphere, a freezing chill that creeps up the back and a serenity that grows.
Its camera movements are slow and yet sweeping, the gameplay of most of those present is great, and the story it unfolds shows lots of intriguing symbols, whether religious - which is already present in the series name - or others, especially those dealing with animals and food, many times at once.
The house where the family lives in the center of the series becomes a character in itself, gloomy and mysterious, almost as if it were haunted.
And in fact, in a sense, he is haunted by one specific spirit.
And beyond the atmosphere, the plot is intriguing and saturated with twists and turns.
Even after a whole season during which we learned more and more things and collected clues, we still do not fully understand what is going on there.
And it's not done in an oppressive and attractive way, but one that raises questions about what led to it, where the whole story will end, and no less - what the hell is going on in front of us now.
Why the protagonist has lost his sense of taste, why sometimes strange lesions grow on his skin and wooden sticks are stuck in his flesh, what is the story of this nanny, who makes a certain impression at the beginning of the series and then another impression and then again different and so on.
Another huge advantage in today's time-consuming television: each episode of the series counts 30 minutes.
Short and sweet.

23. Plots from the Loop
Original Name:
Tales from the Loop
Broadcast:
Amazon Prime Video The
source of the power of this special MDA drama lies in the fusion of the usual tragedies of human existence, small and large, and the extraordinary. Each episode tells a different story and focuses on a different character, mostly children And the boys, the mosaic creator of the rural town where the protagonists live. The series uses the supernatural events not to project on what is special, but rather on the natural and the everyday. On life. Everything is normal in this town, even the robots in it are. Through this point of view, the familiar thing And the wear suddenly seems fresh and intriguing.
This also contributes to what the series does well to capture: the girls. Remember how we were once, when we went out to explore the world without hesitation, to hunt for adventure, to open here to capture the drops from a melting glacier? She harnesses this amazement in the face of the multitude of fantastic things - illusions of time, body exchanges, parallel worlds, etc. - and applies them to the seemingly-prose, or at least human, to the bitter and the sweet: loss, identity, love, hope.
It is effective and touches in a way that also covers the moments when "plots from the loop" are too slow and tests our patience, and when it is at its best it is very beautiful, exciting and thought-provoking.

22. The best for battle
Original name:
The Good Fight
Broadcast:
CBS All Access (in Israel on yes)
in the 2019 parade:
17th place
You can add the fourth season of "The Best of the Battle" to the number of people infected with the corona virus, who abused it mercilessly: the number of episodes is reduced from ten to seven, the plot The mainstay of the season on the mysterious 618 memo was interrupted in the middle and did not get any ending, star Delroy Lindo who was due to leave at the end of the season did not get a proper farewell, it is doubtful he will get, and the last episode that sealed it ended pretty grotesquely in cock with eggs.
All this hustle and bustle actually settled appropriately with the general spirit of the series, which was losing its sanity as Trump's tenure progressed.
But even when it's crazy, contradictory and unfinished, "The Best to Fight" is still one of the smartest and most brilliant series on television, with razor-sharp and thought-provoking writing, and big, brave attempts to hit convention balls and challenge conventions.
The opening episode in which Diane imagines what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had been elected president was a thought-provoking exercise that once again revealed how intelligent and passionate this series is.
It is already intriguing to find out what will happen to her under Biden's rule.

After "The Good Place" ended, the question was asked whether there is any point in another TV comedy that takes place in heaven, ie full of inventions and imagination about the mechanics and essence of such existence.
After ten episodes of the first season of "Upload," the answer is Walla, why not.
Above all, the world that "Ascension" describes is strongly rooted in the reality familiar to us, with its capitalist and computerized engines.
If someone is lucky enough to get to the prestigious "Lakeview", pop-up advertisements surround him, for all he encounters offers for a paid upgrade, etc. Only the rich get to a virtual paradise worthy of his name. The rest settle for a package that allows them almost nothing, and the poor Neither does it. In this way the classes are preserved even in the next world.
In other words, if "the good place" was a fantastic description of possible worlds in the kingdom of heaven, "ascension" leaves the keys to heaven in the hands of human beings. It's a nuisance to rest, and on the other hand also easier to identify. Time and time again it uses the suspense plot line in favor of twists that shed light on the characters, circle them, humanize them. In a world where heartless conglomerates chart the eternal destiny of human beings, "ascension" wants humanity And humanity will win.This is a very pleasant position to cuddle up to, especially in days of uncertainty, and it makes "ascension" delightful and captivating.
Wants humanity and humanity to win.
