We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community what they would name the best TV show of 2022. Here are some of their go-to picks in case you need something to binge before the ball drops on New Year's Eve: 1. Stranger Things "Having just watched all of Stranger Things just this year, I would honestly say that it was the best. Stranger Things just kept me on the edge of my seat."

"Warrior Nun , end of poll."

"While I have nunthing against the other shows, Warrior Nun takes the prize. Bar nun."

Jensen Ackles was an AMAZING addition, and the addition of Payback made for a rich, contextualized history of Vought. The season finale alone had me on the edge of my seat, screaming and just in shock the entire time."

Oliver Upton / © FX / Courtesy Everett Collection 6. Severance "Severance was one of the most original, creative shows ever, and it awed me this year. The idea of the show is not only extremely compelling, but also pertains to today's capitalist culture and poses philosophical conundrums without being preachy. Plus, the ironic humor about office culture weaved throughout the show was a delight. Severance made my year, and I wait excitedly for the next season!"

This kind of representation of Indigenous people, the community and love there is so important. I cried in nearly every episode. Yes, because the show itself was moving, but also because I've never really gotten to see our ceremonies represented like that, to hear Native slang and to hear 'LANDBACK' on f--king TV was amazing."

Shane Brown / © FX / Courtesy Everett Collection 10. Abbott Elementary "I know it technically first aired last December, but since most of Season 1 and all of Season 2 (so far) have been in 2022, I think it counts.
It's smart, it's hilarious, it's goofy, it's fun, its just a 10/10 show all around. And it's doing all of that while also highlighting the struggles of teachers in low income public schools and also setting up the next great sitcom couple. Everyone should watch it."

The Sandman Liam Daniel / © Netflix /Courtesy Everett Collection 14. Reboot "Everything you need in a comedy! Funny, creative, great acting, writing, and an amazing ensemble."

I couldn’t wait for the next episode to come out each week. Despite some of the negativity toward the show, I thought the creators did a good job of bringing the narrative to life, and some of the visuals were breathtaking."
