With so many TV shows out there, it’s not only hard to find a series that’s enjoyable but it’s nearly impossible to find one that’s full of everything you’re looking for. However, some did just that in 2018. Scroll through for the best shows of the year (in no particular order!).

The show that came out of nowhere was the one we all binged (through our fingers). With flawless camera work and direction, the chilling tale had jump-scares aplenty but also the kind of psychological and emotional twists and turns that stuck with us for days after.

The TV Land comedy manages to be funny and also extremely intelligent, with spot-on dialogue and relatable story lines. Season 5 finally delivered on the long-awaited Charles (Peter Hermann) and Liza (Sutton Foster) romance, but — much like in real life — their relationship was satisfying but not tied up with a bow.

Sera Gamble’s adaptation of the Caroline Kepnes book left every viewer torn. You couldn’t help but fall for Penn Badgley’s Joe, despite the fact that he was stalking the woman he loved and killing those around her. You know it’s good when you find yourself rooting for a murderer.

In this new HBO comedy, cocreator Bill Hader stars as a depressed hitman in the Midwest who travels to L.A. to kill someone. Instead, he finds a home in the last place he was looking: the theater. The unexpected dark comedy is unapologetically hilarious.

The heart-wrenching Super Bowl episode was just the start for our favorite emotional drama. Between epic love stories, season 3 also debuted a new side of Jack, and we got to see Milo Ventimiglia flex more than his muscles in a shocking Vietnam arc.

After a ravishing first season, writer Amy Sherman-Palladino gave the delightful Rachel Brosnahan, Tony Shalhoub and Alex Borstein the second season they deserved. While Midge was still the star, season 2 didn’t just rely on her for drama and comedy, giving viewers a chance to fall in love with the rest of the cast.

Darren Criss won an Emmy for his portrayal of Andrew Cunanan, but that was just one of the beautiful elements in the series. Writer Ryan Murphy once again created a hit by retelling a story that you thought you knew. The backward chronology was off-putting at first and genius in the end.

Sandra Oh broke out of any box she may have been in (paging Dr. Yang) with a hilarious spy series. Her chemistry with the pathological but charming Jodie Comer made this a cat-and-mouse game we wanted to play forever.

Between Amy Adams’ heartbreaking performance and the horrific antics of Patricia Clarkson’s Adora, Gillian Flynn’s novel was adapted beautifully. Despite the (very) slow burn, the “killer” ending was worth the wait.

The show’s final season focused on family and purpose and asked the question it’s been asking since its debut: Can a marriage save the world? Season 6 went hard on nostalgia, reminding fans why we kept watching year after year.

Creator Justin Simien tackled even more social issues — including race, abortion and police brutality — in season 2. We came for the informative stories and stayed for the addictive “will they/won’t they” drama.

This unpredictable dark comedy is timely and snarky as it follows a dysfunctional family running a media empire. With A+ performances from Kieran Culkin and Brian Cox, it takes a deep dive into how being filthy rich can have its disadvantages — and the ability to tear apart a family.
