In the early months of 2025, television is experiencing a resurgence, with audiences re-engaging through compelling narratives and emotional storytelling. Shows like 'Adolescence,' 'The Last of Us,' 'Andor,' and 'The White Lotus' have generated significant buzz and discussion, signaling a notable improvement compared to previous years. The resurgence has led to a more vibrant viewer culture, even reminiscent of the era when iconic shows thrived. Essential viewing for understanding this year in TV has emerged, indicating a promising shift in quality within the industry.
Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne's four-part miniseries made waves when it came out on Netflix, not just for its expertly executed visual gimmick, but for the way it touched on the 'redpilling' of young men by a social media ecosystem adults can't see and can barely understand.
The first six months of 2025 have been one of the strongest for TV in a very long time, better than some recent full-year stretches.
