The little Canadian sitcom that could concluded its six-season run this year, and definitely fulfilled its promise to give the Rose family (and their many fans) the satisfying ending they deserve. The image of Moira officiating David and Patrick's wedding in a pope hat-slash-wig will live forever in our memories.

Little America (Apple TV+)
This anthology series dramatizes immigrants' real stories in eight half-hour episodes, each of which is a gem. Heartfelt but not overwrought, authentic but not twee, Little America is well worth every viewer's time.
Outlander (Starz)
Five seasons in, the fandom surrounding Outlander has only grown stronger. This latest installment continued Claire and Jamie's love story—as well as the more complicated one of their daughter Brianna and her now-husband Roger—to great effect.

In 2020, the challenge for television viewers isn't finding something good to watch—it's narrowing down a panoply of worthy shows into an (at least somewhat manageable) selection. What with Disney+, Apple TV+, HBO Max, and NBC's Peacock joining an already crowded space—think Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and your regular old cable channels—our culture's content machine is quickly approaching maximum capacity. (Of course, the pandemic has disrupted production industry-wide, but with plenty of shows in the bank for awhile, it'll be some months before viewers feel the slowdown.)
All that adds up to an enormity of content, coming at viewers every which way. But while we have it, might as well enjoy the best of this TV largess. Here, the best new and returning television series to watch this year.

High Fidelity (Hulu)
Twenty years after 2000's High Fidelity hit theaters, Nick Hornby's novel of the same name was adapted for the screen yet again—this time as a TV show, with its lead roles gender-swapped. Zoë Kravitz stars, replaying her top heartbreaks in an effort to finally get over her recent breakup. The show is sweet, uneven if well-acted—but most importantly, it's deeply cool.
