Last week I asked the Chatty for their favorite, recent, 30 minute TV shows. I am posting the list here. I didn't fact check anyone on show runtime or publish date. Additionally, the streaming source column is a guideline. I have sorted them irst by recommendations and then by streaming service for easy reference.
The Best of the Best
These shows are caramel topping on top of a delicious dessert. These shows generated the most discussion. There are certainly other great shows in the list, but these shows got the most recommendations and/or discussion.
