I know I’m in the minority but I actually enjoyed the Book of Boba Fett in a sort of cheesy, entertaining way…my only qualm is that I liked the mystery of Fett’s fate and I thought the reveal in the Mandalorian was anticlimactic. Maybe it would have been better as a compressed Star Wars Visions type tale or something.

I have a feeling that a bunch of more talented people turned down the chance to run The Rings of Power. The fact that it’s based on an appendix and they can’t flesh it out with anything from the Silmarillion (since they don’t have the rights to it) make me feel like it would be really hard for anyone to make it work.

While I was more impressed with The Walking Dead—in spite of its finale doing more pitching spin-offs than being a true ending—Obi-Wan Kenobi—its length, but that reunion fight, though—and She-Hulk—humour didn't always land for me, but Daredevil's return, though—won't bother with The Witcher: Blood Origin, and feel I need to re-watch The Rings of Power—having also enjoyed it more—I almost fully agree with Fear the Walking Dead taking #1 on this list. Although its first season has yet to finish in 2023, somehow, The Rookie: Feds takes the cake of the worst TV show of 2022 for me. As a spin-off from the great The Rookie, it feels like a parody over its mother series, like Fear is to The Walking Dead, and that's just from its first episode. Its later episodes either hardly got better or were still as bad. At least one of these crappy spin-offs will meet its end sooner than later.
