These picks are my own, formed by my own opinions. Feel free to respectfully agree or disagree! Open to hearing your thoughts if you have some different mid-year picks (because I know I got some controversial ones here). Also included here is my 2024 Ranked list, including most of the 2024 theatrical releases, along with some of the biggest TV shows, miniseries, and documentaries of this year. I know I’m missing quite a bit and still working on watching some, but please let me know if there’s something you enjoyed watching from this year in the comments below. Let me know if you enjoyed this concept, because i’ll be revisiting it at the end of the year. If you got this far, thank you so much. You are beyond appreciated and loved over here. 💙
