CURRENT SHOWS & SPECIALS
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (B+)
The first MCU Phase Four project that felt like its creative team actually gave a shit. It’s a total delight, free of the bullshit connective tissue to other content. Not even a totally detached Chris Pratt can ruin this Christmas.

The Crown – Season 5 (A- average)
Another accomplished season, though it appears unlikely to make my top 10, given how much great TV we’ve had this year. Elizabeth Debicki is this season’s clear MVP.
