Welcome to the most appropriate list of some of the best
things we saw in the year. In 2017, we saw great seasons, comebacks, sequels,
revivals and miniseries. I was most pleased with the return of two of my
favourite series and this time they both didn’t just give a glimpse into their
old awesomeness but also ascended to never before attained heights. Yes,
Samurai Jack which returned after 13 years to conclude its as-old-as time tale
and incidentally gave us one of the greatest final seasons for any epic action
series ever. Even Twin Peaks returned precisely when it was supposed to but it
took a staggering 26 years to come back and haunt as well as delight us with a
similar yet arguably much better season which quite possibly be the last.
See the complete list as follows:- (and yeah this is only
all the stuff which I watched so it’s a possibility I might've missed something
or forgot about it. Kindly mention it in the comments)
Best Movie- Blade Runner 2049 (awe inspiring and thought
provoking, this sequel to one of the greatest sci-fi classics totally live up
to its hype) (read full review here)
Second Favourite- The Big Sick (this endearing almost true
story is unusually comical yet quite sentimental)
 |
| Although not the winner, I had the most fun while watching 'It' |
Other Contenders-
Dunkirk
Baby Driver
John Wick 2
IT
Kingsman The Golden Circle
 |
| I guess i'm too old to enjoy this now |
Thor Ragnarok
Spiderman: Homecoming
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
The Lego Batman Movie
Wonder Woman
Justice League
Power Rangers
Worst Movie- The Fate of the Furious (everything from start
to finish was just as profound as a slice of cheese)
 |
| Major Kusanagi deserved better |
Other Contenders-
Alien Covenant
Baywatch
Kong Skull Island
Justice League
Transformers: The Last Knight
Ghost in the Shell
Biggest Disappointment- Iron Fist (Comic iron fist is my
favourite and after the amazing daredevil nobody expected Netflix to churn out
such a vacuous show which led to one of the worst superhero assemblies ever)
 |
| How is it even possible to suck so much? |
Other Contenders-
The Defenders
Justice League
Alien Covenant
The Dark Tower
T2 Trainspotting
Ghost in the Shell
Ghost in the Shell
Best Hindi Language Film- Newton (riddled with subtle discomforting
yet routine actions of regular people, one man strives to be different. Against
all odds he does his job and makes for quite an interesting yet grounded
adventure)
Other Contenders-
 |
| Still better than Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara trio |
Bareilly Ki Barfi
Secret Superstar
Jolly LLB 2
Lipstick Under My Burkha
Trapped
Worst Hindi Language Film- Too many to report
Best South Movie- Duvvada Jagannadham aka DJ (Telugu) and
Bairavaa (Tamil) *
*note:- I only saw these two south indian movies this year
Best Animated Movie- Coco (young dreams and lively dead
characters fuel the magic of this animated wonder, making it undoubtedly the
year’s best)
Other Contenders-
 |
| Some moments were truly teary |
Cars 3
Ferdinand
Lego Batman Movie
Despicable me 3
Justice League Dark
Ferdinand
Lego Batman Movie
Despicable me 3
Justice League Dark
Best Anime- Boku no Hero Academia (Season 2) (some stuff was
fun)
Other Contender(s)- Attack on Titan (Season 2) *
(note:- this year not many good anime were released and
these two slightly above average anime had no competition)
 |
| Worst protagonist with worst best friend |
Best new TV Series- Taboo (tales of deceit and unbridled
barbarity bordering on the supernatural makes for an enjoyable and bold new
series)
Other contenders-
The punisher
The handmaid’s tale
Legion
13 Reasons Why
Dark
Mindhunter
The Tick
 |
| No X-men media ever can even touch the awesomeness of this marvel |
Best limited series or miniseries- Twin Peaks (mysterious,
eccentric, and labyrinthine in nature; this revival was highly unlikely but
inevitable in hindsight garnering acclaim in a time where the audience can’t
nearly begin to comprehend this unique masterpiece)
 |
| Being a parent is serious business when you're rich and competitive |
Other contenders-
Samurai Jack
Big Little Lies
Sherlock
Sherlock
Sarabhai vs Sarabhai
Best New Season- All Winners
All Contenders-
Game of Thrones Season 7
Better Call Saul Season 3
Mr Robot Season 3
Stranger Things Season 2
 |
| GoT was at its best like every year; Better Call Saul succeeded in upping the ante once again; Mr. Robot somehow created greatest dystopian superhero sci-fi thriller ever; Stranger Things stretched out and came back to tame the paranormal with style and sentiment once again. |
Very good but not exceptional new season-
House Of Cards Season 5
Black Mirror Season 4
Fargo Season 3
Peaky Blinders Season 4
Narcos Season 3
 |
| Fargo Season 3 was totally cool but just not as fabulous as the previous seasons |
Best Animated Series- Samurai Jack (This year, Genndy
Tartakovsky treated us with a darker, edgier side of our favourite samurai
whose incomplete tale finally gets an apt but poignant ending)
Second Place-
· Rick and
Morty, Bojack Horseman
 |
| Jack is back and he is not happy |
 |
| Boom! I'm a Pickle Morty! Pickle Rickkk!! Bojack Horseman season 4 was just something 'special' |
Absurdly popular but stupid series- 13 Reasons Why (too
unrealistic with every character excessively good looking. Mawkish, annoying
and privileged psychopathic teenagers who are dumber than an ostrich)
 |
| This shit good? fo real? |
Other Contenders-
· Riverdale
· American Gods
Worst TV series- The Defenders (Mostly because it tricked
you into believing it will be something of epic proportions when it was one of
the poorest Netflix productions)
Other contenders-
 |
| Assemble all the reasons why DC shows suck and put them into one big garbage pile |
Iron Fist
The Flash
Suits
Supergirl
Arrow
Legends of Tomorrow
Arrow
Legends of Tomorrow
