Ranking the TV We Watched in 2023

It’s always fun to look back on what we were watching in a given year. Before I wrote this year’s ranking I went back and looked at 2015 and 2016 and it brought me back to a very different time in our lives. This year we watched a lot less TV and a lot of that was from a busy work schedule and more traveling than in prior years.

Where We Watched in 2023

We watched a lot less TV in 2023; surprisingly, HBO was where we had the biggest drop. HBO had my favorite two shows of the year (Succession and The Last of Us) but we didn’t spend as much time with the 1-hour dramas as we have in years past. Most of our watching was with Apple TV+ which seemed to have a lot of shows in our wheelhouse.
