After getting Hulu for 99 cents in November 2022, my insane TV binges began. I didn’t realize how many television shows I either fully watched or watched up until their current season (I’m looking at you Only Murders in the Building) until I started working on my recaps.
This is a full list of every show I finished in 2023, including title of the show, streaming service I found it on, initial SJ rating, and how I felt about the show in ten words or less. The shows are listed in the order I finished them, not best or worst.
