20 Best TV Shows Of 2022 (So Far)

Released at a time when the classic TV sitcom series seemed like a thing of the past, Abbott Elementary has proven itself a major hit with the humour, intelligence, and cast to back it up.

Created by its star Quinta Bunson, the series takes place in a fictional Black school in Philly, and used a clever mockumentary style to tell its story. Like all great sitcoms, its world is instantly endearing, and its humour - which allows the series to touch on lofty themes such as school funding and identity - reflects its natural authenticity.

At once wholesome good fun and a striking critique of class inequality and the flaws in the US education system, Abbott Elementary feels like the kind of popular and simply executed show we just don't get to see anymore. The world's brighter with it around, to be honest.
