This kind of echos what others are saying but some things I liked a lot this year:
1) The Mandalorian, we are almost done with season 2 and I think this may be some of the best Star Wars ever made, because it understands what makes Star Wars great and what the roots are based in.
2) The Good Place. I've been watching this whenever new seasons came out on Netflix. I wasn't sure they would managed to come up with a good ending (ironic) yet I ended up being really happy about how it ended.
3) Eurovision - one of the better movies I've need this year, but also just a great comedy general and I'm not usually that into Will Ferrill. Released on Netflix.
4) The 100. There seem to be some people that didn't like how the series ended but I like it quite a bit.
5) Cobra Kai - really great revisiting of the Karate Kid years later.
6) Umbrella Academy - the second season was out this year and I really have liked the series overall.
7) Locke & Key - A pretty good kind of supernaturally based show, with an interesting premise - a pretty good first season that sets up what should be a pretty interesting season 2.
4) The 100. There seem to be some people that didn't like how the series ended but I like it quite a bit.
While I enjoyed parts of the show, the ending was way too saccharine. I could see leaving Clark to live out her days with just the dog. The rest was pure bullshit from a story perspective. Half or more of the people there wanted her dead right up to that moment.
Granted, 75% of the enjoyment my wife and I got from that show was hating on Clark, so seeing her get a mostly happy ending was disappointing. Especially when so many good people suffered so much through the run of the show.

To me it seemed pretty extreme to ban Clarke from elevation, the only human to block altogether...
So I didn't find the ending very saccharine at all, since all she got was to live her life instead of what the rest of humanity got.
I do think it should have been just her and the dog alone though, or at least not so many people coming back to join her. But they got something out of coming back as well so that didn't bother me so much.
The Mandalorian, and a few others... (Score:2)

+1 for Cobra Kai, Umbrella Academy, and Locke & Key.

Shoot, I forgot about Cobra Kai! What a great show. Kinda dumb, but it is well aware of it's own dumbness. Looking forward to the new season!
