What are the best new TV shows on the horizon for 2023?

It is no secret that the refrain "too much TV" has been echoing through the culture for the last ten years, and the same is true of 2022, despite increasing rumblings in the streaming market. Even though the ratio of trash to wheat has risen, the number of great shows has also increased. This is just math, baby. We do not have expertise in great math, so it is not great math. According to our calculations, 2023 will likely be another year filled with enough high points that outweigh the lows since television is our area of expertise.

We're looking forward to both points on this list of shows we're excited about next year, most of which we have yet to see and still have equal chances of delighting or disappointing us. That sense of limitless potential might be the best thing in the too-much-TV era. Join us as we await the riches of televisual pleasures in 2023.
