The 2024 "X" List of the Best "TV"

Distilled from 7,000 comments on X

Early December, I posed a question on X that received 7,000 comments and 2.2 million views, it was simply:

What were the best “non-woke” TV series of 2024?

---

Some people chose to include movies, one-offs, and documentaries. Many included shows that were years or even decades old.

However, what surprised me was how much great programming happened in 2024 that I was completely unaware of. So, I have sorted all these recommendations into two categories: TV series and documentaries - for the year 2024. A note: some of the recommended shows are a 2024 continuation of a series that started before 2024.

One thing is for sure. People derive a lot of pleasure from a good show - and everyone appreciates having a wider range of excellent shows to watch.

With 7,000 comments - and so many naming shows from years past, I am sure I have missed many great ones. I suggest purusing the attached lists for 2024, but also consider following the link below and reading through the comments for more ideas on what to watch. I was amazed at how many programs people genuinely love that I had no idea existed.
