It’s that time of year again! As we get closer and closer to approaching 2025, I thought it would be the perfect time to count down my Top 10 TV Shows of 2024.

While some returning shows continued strong, others fell off slightly. Meanwhile, some other new shows completely hooked me, making their way into my top 10. There are also still a lot of amazing series I have not watched yet, but I’m hoping to catch up on them in early 2025 so keep those recommendations coming!

Without any further delay, let’s get to my list!

My Top 10 Television Shows of 2024 are:

10

Fool Me Once

It’s no secret that I love Harlan Coben series and Fool Me Once was a captivating mystery that started the year off strong for television. This wasn’t my favorite Harlan Coben series by any means, but it was engrossing enough and very fun to binge-watch!

9

Sweetpea

Ella Purnell was bloody fantastic in this dark series that already got picked up for a second season. This one was such a great surprise. It reminded me a lot of Dexter and You, but it still had enough of its own identity to keep me coming back for more.

8

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

I loved the book and I was so excited to watch this series. It did not disappoint! I thought it successfully captured the feel of the book and reeled in a new audience effortlessly with a layered mystery worthy our time.

7

Found (season 2)

One of my favorite series of 2023 was Found and season 2 started off with a bang! Each episode had a cliffhanger that kept me on the edge of my seat and the dynamic between Gabi and Sir has been insane! I can’t wait for new episodes to return in 2025, but the second season is already off to a promising start.

6

Tell Me Lies (season 2)

Probably the juiciest and most addicting series I have seen in a very long time! In a lot of ways, this series is a modern day 90210 or Melrose Place for me. I was literally counting the days each week for a new episode to arrive and I am so beyond thrilled that it got picked up for a third season. Let the toxic drama continue!

5

Only Murders in the Building (season 4)

My favorite season since season 1. Only Murders season 4 was as charming as ever and its cameos and guest stars really elevated everything for me. The mystery was compelling and I loved the offbeat humor even more this time around, making this such an enjoyable watch overall.

4

Agatha All Along

I was waiting for this series for a long time and it was so much fun. I love series about witches and this one didn’t hold back, bringing us dark humor, an AMAZING cast, and plenty of Easter eggs and references to be excited about. More please!

3

The Perfect Couple

Nicole Kidman always manages to star in guilty pleasure mysteries that are so much fun to indulge in. This series definitely stepped up to the plate and held its own. The cast was talented and I thought the mystery was so consuming and interesting. Keep starring in series like this, Nicole. We love to see it!

2

Squid Game (season 2)

I’m still thinking about the second season! It was brutal, addicting, and so intense! I watched all seven episodes in one day. This series is a binge-watcher’s dream. It doesn’t hold anything back and it continues to shock its audience with clever reveals and twists along the way. I’m counting the days until season 3 arrives. OBSESSED!

Drum roll please…

X-Men ’97

X-Men: The Animated Series was one of my absolute favorite series growing up and when I heard about this revival, I was so excited. Well, it exceeded my expectations and then some. It had some of the most captivating episodes I have ever watched on television and I am still heartbroken over a few key moments. I haven’t been this invested in a series since Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was absolute perfection for me and deserves the top spot on my list without question.

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post some of YOUR favorite television shows of 2024. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing in the new year!

Best,

“We’ve been very lucky with people dying in our building…”

Only Murders in the Building season four premiered on Hulu on August 27th 2024. The comedy crime series will have ten episodes in total. The first episode is available to stream now and the remaining nine will air weekly. The show stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Each episode runs for approximately 30-35 minutes.

Mabel, Charles, and Oliver are back to solve a new murder mystery after that season three finale cliffhanger, but they’ve also branched out to Hollywood as they learn that someone is interested in turning their podcast into a movie.

Here is the trailer:

Only Murders in the Building season 4 tries out another change of scenery to liven things up. Will the trio continue to entertain us with their quirky charm? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

The chemistry between our three main leads is still as brilliant as ever!

It’s why the show works so well and it’s funny to see Hollywood getting some aspects spot on and others way off. Charles, Mabel, and Oliver may be an unconventional trio, but that’s also why they are so dynamic together. The banter had me chuckling once again and I’m looking forward to seeing them work together with this new murder mystery.

Fun cameos!

Ever wonder who would play Charles, Mabel, and Oliver in a film adaptation? Well, we find out in the season premiere and it was awesome to see so many familiar faces. I’m a huge fan of Eva Longoria so this was a lot of fun.

We also get an adorable scene stealer in the season premiere to help our trio out.

The Cons:

Homesick for the Arconia!

I get that we need to change things up each season, but I found myself missing the Arconia setting quite a bit. That’s where I fell in love with this trio and while the Hollywood gimmick is a lot of fun, it’s also a little overwhelming and I’m not sure that our trio will thrive here as much. The Arconia is still the scene of another murder so I’m hoping we return to the place we know and love for the future episodes.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

While it may not have as captivating as a hook as the first season, this trio is still magic together and we’re off to a promising start for season 4!
