Top 20 New Shows of 2020: #18

My annual TV Awards, the AFT Television Awards, are given out during the summer. It’s always nice to check in midway through the television season to reflect back on all the calendar year introduced us to. As 2020 closes out and 2021 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#18: Five Bedrooms

In 2020, couldn’t we all use a lighthearted show about five acquaintances who decide to go in on a house together? This Australian dramedy delivered meaty, entertaining storylines about five very different people and the lives they live. For every predictable twist, there was something unexpected, and it just felt good to enjoy something that didn’t feel ultra-serious yet was still resonant. Watch it now on Peacock.
