Want to watch the best shows? Don't look to cable.

This got past me. It got past a lot of people. But Luke Bouma at Cord Cutters News noticed it several weeks after the fact, and that's where I saw it.

USA Today had a list of the best TV shows of 2022 back in December, and the top ten included no cable shows.

Well, you could say that one of them is available of cable, since it's on ABC, and most cable systems carry the broadcast networks. However, if you have an antenna and can pick up your local ABC station, you don't need cable to watch that one show. The other nine are all on streaming services:

1. Andor (Disney+)
2. Reservation Dogs (Hulu)
3. The White Lotos (HBO Max)
4. For All Mankind (Apple TV+)
5. Abbott Elementary (ABC)
6. Heartstopper (Netflix)
7. Pachinko (Apple TV+)
8. The Bear (Hulu)
9. Starstruck (HBO Max)
10. Bluey (Disney+)

I've not seen any of these shows. Well, I did watch the first two seasons of For All Mankind, but haven't seen the most recent season. And I've seen none of the others listed. I'll look into them.

If you haven't seen them because you don't stream TV, you are missing out. And spending more money than you should.

Oh, and if you say "Yeah, but to subscribe to all those services would cost more than cable" then you aren't doing it right. Subscribe to one service for a month and watch all the stuff you want on that service that month. Then cancel. And the next month, subscribe to something else. Do that over and over, and you still get to watch everything, and spend a lot less money.

My Streaming Life gives me lots of options. And I'm glad to see there are some good ones that I can look into. I'll be doing that soon.
