The Entertainment of 2022

Last year was the first time I created a ranked list of all the television, movies, and books I consumed that year for the first time. It was so fun, I continued doing it in 2022. Let’s not think about the amount of hours all of this totals up to…

The general rules are simple. Something gets added to the list if it’s brand new to me - so no rewatches, otherwise this would actually be much, much longer. For Movies/TV if I don’t finish them and/or really hate it they get one star, and for books I only list what I actually finished. Everything gets scored on a 1-5 star system:

⭐️ = Total Garbage, Don’t

⭐️⭐️ = Didn’t Like It, Wasn’t a Fan

⭐️⭐️⭐️= Liked It, but No Strong Feeling

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️= Pretty Good, Feel Good Recommending

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️= Absolutely Loved I & I Hope You Do Too

Without further ado, here is what did, or did not, entertain me in 2022. The list is in watch order:
