TV Break: December 2022 - The Best Series, Biggest Stories, & Most Important Streamers of 2022

Pop Break’s Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus is joined by
Editor-in-Chief Bill Bodkin, and TV Columnist Josh Sarnecky to
talk about the happenings in television.


Here’s the format of the show:


New Series Spotlight Rewind – Alex, Bill, and Josh check back in
on all the series they covered in their New Series Spotlight
segment this year to see which shows they actually kept up with
and which fell by the wayside.


News Break – Alex, Bill, and Josh discuss the single story that
they all agreed was the biggest for the world of TV this past
year: Netflix’s Terrible May, including their expected
subscriber losses, their layoffs in
editorial and animation, their
ill-considered (in our opinion) plans to turn things
around, and a recent piece from Vanity
Fair reporting on their declining commitment to premium
scripted content as the seek to broaden their appeal to
a wider audience.


Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Josh check in on the standings
for the past year of who won the most months in streaming before
giving their own picks for who won the year, where Bill went with
the ever reliable Disney Plus and Josh & Alex both went
outside the box with AppleTV Plus.


The Beast Series of 2022 – Bill, Josh, and Alex each give their
favorite series of the year, and two honorable mentions, which
you can check out below!


Bill’s Series of the Year - Stranger Things (Peacemaker, Ms.
Marvel)
