Top 22 New Shows of 2022: #16

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 2022 closes out and 2023 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#16: Julia

Julia Child has always been a distinct personality, and this show brought her to vivid life in a perfectly stylized way. Sarah Lancashire is indeed terrific as the French chef, and the supporting cast is just as good, enhancing the show’s many storylines with all the right ingredients and seasonings. Watch it now on HBO Max and check out my interviews with the show’s supporting cast, creator, showrunner, and food stylist!
