It’s Listmas with everyone revealing their bests of the year, and we’re reflecting back on the best TV shows of 2021.

One of them wrapped it’s third season this week; perfect timing for the New Yorker to publish a quite intense profile of it’s main star.

While filming Succession, where does Jeremy Strong end and Kendall Roy begin?

We already know what will be Myf’s fave of the year, after seeing the trailer for a new doco on Kenny G.

And as we wind towards Christmas, don’t invest in a Chanel Advent Calendar. Really, don’t.

But do listen to a great podcast about Italian food, or watch The Shrink Next Door, those we absolutely co-sign on.
