TV Technica: Our favorite shows of 2025

The year 2025 has proven to be a remarkable time for television, showcasing a mix of beloved returning series and captivating new entries. Streaming platforms have taken the lead, with Netflix and Apple TV standing out by featuring seven and five selections, respectively, in our curated list. Our selection spans a diverse array of genres, ensuring that there's something for every viewer. From period dramas like 'The Gilded Age' to the superhero saga 'Daredevil: Born Again,' and from gripping mysteries such as 'Poker Face' to political thrillers like 'The Diplomats,' the offerings are both rich and varied. Sci-fi fans can look forward to intriguing titles like 'Andor' and 'Severance,' while fantasy lovers can immerse themselves in 'The Sandman.' To top it all off, we have the unconventional nature documentary 'Underdogs,' which adds a unique flavor to this year's lineup. In 'Underdogs,' narrated by the witty Ryan Reynolds, the series takes a humorous twist on traditional nature documentaries. Instead of focusing on the majestic and regal aspects of wildlife, it shines a light on nature's quirky outcasts and their unconventional behaviors. Each of the five episodes presents a different theme: ‘Superheroes’ showcases the remarkable abilities of animals like the honey badger and the pistol shrimp, while ‘Sexy Beasts’ dives into the weird and wonderful mating rituals in the animal kingdom. Other episodes include ‘Terrible Parents,’ which humorously critiques parenting in nature, ‘Total Grossout,’ a straightforward exploration of the gross aspects of wildlife, and ‘The Unusual Suspects,’ a heist narrative involving a clever macaque. This innovative approach to nature storytelling, paired with Green Day's specially recorded theme song, promises to entertain viewers in a way that feels fresh and engaging. We encourage you to explore these shows and share your own favorites from 2025 in the comments below.
