Looking over the top picks from The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times (which only features new series) and New York magazine, the networks and streamers that had the most critically acclaimed shows out of the 55 chosen among these three lists were HBO/HBO Max (14), Apple TV (9) and Netflix (8). The titan that is Prime Video only had two series that rose to the top with these critics, putting them on par with…Mubi.

I agree with these writers in number. There were indeed two shows on Prime Video that were my favorites of the year by far: the third season of The Wheel of Time, a blockbuster book-to-screen fantasy adaptation that finally took flight after a wobbly start, and Étoile, a madcap dramedy about ballet from Amy Sherman-Palladino, her follow-up to the smash hit The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. While I certainly enjoyed many other efforts this year (the prompt second season of Nobody Wants This, the decade-late second season of Wolf Hall), The Wheel of Time and Étoile gave me a feeling I didn’t get from anything else: that I was watching something wholly unique. These weren’t “new spins on the procedural!” or “fresh takes on the whodunnit!” Instead, these two seasons pushed the artform of television forward in their own exhilarating ways.
