Cobra Kai never dies and season five proved that more than most with more kickass cameos from the original movies and an all-or-nothing fight to stop the title dojo from taking over the world.
Now led by an angry, self-righteous Terry Silver (who was one of the main villains in Karate Kid 3), longtime enemies Daniel LaRusso and Jonny Lawrence had to bury the hatchet once and for all in order to work together.

Ozark came out with a bang this year after four seasons following the Byrde family as they become embroiled in a drug cartel.
After a slow and steady buildup, the Jason Bateman and Laura Linney-helmed series failed to pack a punch as the series came to one of the most satisfying conclusions in recent television.

Much like the first season before it, Bridgerton reigned supreme throughout March 2022 with the sexy drama Regency focusing on Jonathan Bailey’s dashing rake Anthony as he searches for a wife.

Game Of Thrones never really dies, with a divisive final season debate and intricate details we may have missed, three years after the finale aired.

Euphoria is a testament to the power of social media (and Zendaya, who is an absolute juggernaut as drug-addicted, struggling Rue in this drama).
Filled with scenes ripe for picking TikToks and memes, the show traces the troubled lives of a group of high school students and their complicated relationship with their identity and gender.
It’s extremely dark yet funny, and manages to balance that in a way that only a show like this can, and so now there’s a massive audience eagerly waiting to see the fallout from the jaw-dropping finale. blast from season two.
2 | Dahmer (Netflix)
Ryan Murphy took Jeffrey Dahmer’s story upside down to focus more on the victims and those fighting to bring him down – sparking a debate online afterwards about the show’s actual success in this mission.

Nothing dominated the internet quite like Season 4 of Stranger Things this year – hardly surprising since we’ve waited almost three years for the series to return to our screens.
