15 Best New TV Shows Of 2020 (So Far)

15. Cheer

The show which could have been called "no, it's not Tiger King, but keep watching anyway", Cheer is that other, almost-as-huge Netflix documentary phenomenon which won over viewers in 2020.

A docuseries delving into the wild world of competitive cheerleading, this series is no Bring It On.

Here the lives of students, teachers, and trainers alike are thrown under the microscope in an uncompromising and often dramatic vision of small town America which refuses to pull any punches.

From pushy parents to wild child cheer stars to some maybe-fiddled-with-factual-accuracy moments (according to some of the stars, at least), the creators offer everything anyone could want from a documentary dissection of this fascinating subculture.

Keeping the camera running in moments of high drama, high emotion, and high tension, the show offers far higher stakes than you ever imagined could hang on the demand "Gimme an A!"
