Let's delve into the exciting realm of television as we explore the top 10 best TV shows of 2023 so far. We've carefully curated this list based on shows that have concluded their seasons before the end of June 2023, excluding animated series like "Unicorn Warriors Eternal." Do you have a favorite show from this year? Let us know in the comments!

Number 10 on our list is "Abbott Elementary" Season 2. Airing its final 12 episodes earlier this year, this show didn't suffer from a sophomore slump. With the brilliant Quinta Brunson at the helm, the finely-tuned ensemble continues to shine. The workplace sitcom humor draws relatable comedy from its setting, while the show explores beyond the classroom, offering intriguing dynamics between characters like Janine and Gregory. "Abbott Elementary" proves that network shows can thrive even in the streaming era. However, with the WGA strike underway, we might have to wait longer to see our favorite teachers again.

At number 9, we have "Star Trek Picard" Season 3. Fans often compare this show's growth to that of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," with season 3 delivering an emotional farewell to Jean-Luc Picard's legacy. The return of several fan-favorite characters adds to the touching and nostalgic experience. This season's turnaround is nothing short of miraculous, redeeming the series from its mixed season 1 and polarizing season 2.

Taking the 8th spot is "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" Season 5. As Midge Maisel navigates life after her big break, the show skillfully uses flash-forwards to keep viewers engaged. The comedy brilliantly showcases the talents of Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein, whose performances elevate the show to new heights.

Number 7 brings us "Shrinking" Season 1, a surprising and therapeutic series from the minds behind "Ted Lasso." Jason Siegel's character, Jimmy, deals with loss and strained relationships, leading him to get involved in the lives of his patients. This unique approach to therapy brings comedy and pathos in equal measure, aided by a fantastic supporting cast.

At number 6 is "Poker Face" Season 1, a compelling series with Natasha Leone as the TV gumshoe, Charlie. Unlike traditional whodunits, this show focuses on how the crimes were committed, while Charlie pursues justice on the run. The revolving door of A-list guest stars and unpredictable twists keeps the series fresh and engaging.

"Yellow Jackets" Season 2 takes the 5th spot, diving deeper into the survival struggles of the crash-landed soccer team. As the characters confront their past and present sins, a mysterious stranger adds to the intrigue of this gripping and atmospheric show.

At number 4, we have "Beef" Season 1, a riveting drama that starts with a seemingly innocuous road rage incident but spirals into an intense and gripping tale of revenge and control. Steven Young and Ali Wong deliver standout performances, making this tragic comedy an unforgettable experience.

"Barry" Season 4 secures the 3rd place, taking us on a roller-coaster journey as the titular character grapples with multiple identities. The show beautifully portrays the struggles of its characters, and while tragedy looms, comedy remains at its core.

Number 2 brings us "The Last of Us" Season 1, a stunning adaptation of the beloved video game. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay capture the essence of Joel and Ellie, and the series expands upon the game's world, immersing viewers in an emotional and action-packed narrative.

Finally, the number 1 spot goes to "Succession" Season 4, a gripping and masterfully crafted drama that explores the dynamics of power, greed, and grief within the wealthy Roy family. With stellar performances and a thought-provoking storyline, "Succession" stands out as one of the finest final seasons in television history.
