GameSpot’s Top 10 TV Shows Of 2020

For many of us, TV was one of 2020’s biggest saving graces. Everything from endless rewatches of our favorite streaming comfort TV shows to the new and exciting debuts we could catch up with week-to-week, having something to watch from the comfort of our homes made quarantine a little less challenging, and thankfully, there was plenty to go around, no matter what genre or vibe you might be into.

The first 9 shows listed here are unranked, and available to watch now–from the existential sci-fi drama of FX on Hulu’s Devs to the go-for-broke sports docu-series that was ESPN’s The Last Dance to the insanity of Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys Season 2. There’s something here for everyone. To find out why we chose them, read our gallery on GameSpot: https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/the-10-best-tv-shows-of-2020/2900-3673/#1

Our award for the best TV show of 2020 went to a comedy that served as the perfect escape from this year. It made us laugh nonstop, it constantly surprised us, and it managed to take a stellar first season and actually improve on it to create a more interesting world. Find out the winner of our top prize in the video above!

Games Are Now Making More Than Movies And Sports Combined

While the COVID-19 pandemic has led to many challenges in the gaming industry, it hasn’t seen the industry at large get hit financially. Due to gaming being an at-home activity, the hobby has seen a huge uptick in both spending and playtime. As a result of safety regulations and quarantine restrictions, the gaming industry is now making more money than the movie and sporting industry combined.

According to data from the International Data Corporation (per MarketWatch), global gaming revenue is expected to be around $197.7 billion by the end of the year. That’s up roughly 20% from last year, and the significant rise can be contributed to the pandemic, the continued success of the Nintendo Switch, and the console launches for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S and X. In 2019, the film and sports industries brought in a combined $175 billion, and both are down significantly this year.

While console sales are on the rise, the biggest boost in gaming revenue has come from mobile gaming. Smartphone titles have seen an overall revenue boost of nearly 25% and are now up to a projected $87.7 billion. A bulk of that revenue comes from Asia and the Pacific region, as it makes up $56.6 billion.

This data backs up a report from The NPD Group last month, which says that gaming spending in the US has risen 22% to $44.5 billion during the first 11 months of 2020. Gaming hardware makes up roughly $4 billion of that amount, while over $38 billion comes from software. The most significant rise is the number of consumers playing games as it has risen to 79% of the US.

December looks to be another strong month for the gaming industry as Xbox Series X and PS5 restocks continue to occur and games are given as gifts during the holidays.

Movie Poster For Tom Holland’s Cherry Was A Mistake, One Hilarious Mistake

Apple TV+ has put out some pretty fantastic originals so far. From the comedy series Mythic Quest and Ted Lasso to the Beastie Boys documentary and the Tom Hanks movie Greyhound, there is a lot of watch. Very soon, Apple TV+ has a Russo Brothers movie starring Tom Holland coming out called Cherry. However, you wouldn’t know that was the title from a poster circulating on social media.

With the poster for the upcoming March 12, 2021 film, people on social media are trying to figure out what this movie is called because the font is unreadable. According to Next Big Picture podcast host Will Mavity on Twitter, this comes from the print edition of Variety. It’s a “For your consideration” ad taken out by Apple. What is easily confirmed about this is that it’s a bad poster. Check it out below.

No Caption Provided

When I first saw this, I broke down the font to its basics and the font should have read “Oihierkk,” an easily pronounceable movie title. At a quick glance, it could even be called Cherkk, which isn’t too far off from the actual title. However, “Cherry” was the least plausible of all the guesses, as there is no way that “k” on the end is supposed to be a “y.”

Sadly, the fun all came to an end later as Mavity realized that it was a glitch while viewing it in Variety in Chrome and not poor font choice. Sadly, the original poster font was clear as day.

Variety responded to the ad–which is also the best accidental marketing campaign of 2020–saying, “Variety apologizes for our mistake in the digital misprint of the ad for the film “Cherry.” This is not up to our standards. Here is the corrected version of the ad.”

Starring Tom Holland (as Cherry) and directed by the Russo Brothers, Cherry follows “an unhinged character who drifts from dropping out of college to serving in Iraq as an Army medic and is only anchored by his one true love, Emily (Ciara Bravo). When Cherry returns home a war hero, he battles the demons of undiagnosed PTSD and spirals into drug addiction, surrounding himself with a menagerie of depraved misfits. Draining his finances, Cherry turns to bank robbing to fund his addiction, shattering his relationship with Emily along the way.”

The film is based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Nico Walker.

While it is strangely a bummer that the glitch isn’t real, for one moment in 2020, we were all on the same page: this poster picked a bad font. However, why not have a little bit of fun, check out the glitchy font, and let us know what you think the title of the movie actually is?

Oihierkk comes to Apple TV+ on March 12, 2021.

So, I Have Some Good News And Bad News About Roku’s HBO Button

At the start of the year, I lamented the loss in functionality of one of my Roku remote’s buttons after Sony shuttered its PlayStation Vue streaming service. As it happens, this turned out to rank rather low on the list of 2020’s biggest problems, but I return to you this December with both good and bad news.

I’ve recently begun using the Roku remote from another device, my Roku Ultra. It works a lot like my Roku Streaming Stick+’s remote, albeit with a much bulkier frame that makes me feel as if I’m holding a deeply stale Twinkie (I’m not sure if that’s a physical state that a Twinkie can attain, but hopefully you understand). It also has added A and B buttons that are oddly positioned. I don’t know what they do, but they are new and different from what I’m accustomed to, and thus they frighten me. I don’t plan to investigate the situation further.

Above those two is the standard layout of four buttons that jump you directly into an app. Netflix and Hulu are both welcome as such prominent streaming services. A third is for Sling, a service that I do not subscribe to, thus making it function as nothing more than an advertisement. So that’s not great. But, on the bright side, it at least continues to exist, and so I begrudge it less than I do the continued blight that is the Vue button on my other remote.

No Caption Provided

The fourth–and here’s where I started to bite my nails, because I am a deeply anxious person who can and will use any excuse to bite my nails–is HBO Now. As you may or may not know–and you might not, because HBO’s naming conventions in recent years requires a Pepe Silvia-level of investigation to comprehend–HBO Now is now dead. HBO Go is also gone. In their place is HBO Max. HBO Max was frustratingly unavailable on Roku devices for months, but that changed just recently, which is fortunate with Wonder Woman 1984’s streaming launch soon set to undermine the world of pee break journalism.

With HBO Now now gone, was I left with another remote containing a relic of the past, I wondered. Nervously, I pressed the button on my robust, snack cake-like remote, waited a moment, and was gloriously presented with the HBO Max splash screen. Elated, I raised both my arms into the air, thrilled with what would qualify as the second piece of good news in this entire godforsaken year, only to suddenly be faced with the app-selection screen again. Confused, I pushed the button again and went through the same process, this time with a brief glimpse at HBO Max’s Home screen, before being sent back to the main Roku menu. I manually selected the HBO max app and encountered no such issues.

And so it seems that utilizing the HBO Now button opens the correct app but causes it to crash, effectively rendering the button as useless as jeans or any formal clothing that is out of a view of a Zoom call screen have been for me this year. While I commend Roku for seemingly recognizing that the HBO Now button should now open HBO Max, I am disappointed with this tease. Here’s hoping that Sling button redirects to the right app after Amazon is done buying everything in a few years.

Genshin Impact Events Begin Alongside New Patch

Developer Mihoyo has revealed a handful of Genshin Impact events and wishes that are now live on Nintendo Switch, mobile devices, PC, and PlayStation 4 following the game’s version 1.2 update. Each has a different end date, with one of them extending into February 2021.

The headlining event is The Chalk Prince and The Dragon, which sees the introduction of the sword-wielding Geo alchemist Albedo and gives players the chance to get the four-star sword Festering Desire for free until January 1. Those looking to score a five-star version of Albedo can participate in his Secretum Secretorum Character Wish Event until January 12. And smashed in between both of these events is round two of the Adventurer’s Booster Bundles, a package that usually contains an assortment of goodies like Genesis Crystals, Mora, and XP.

A Character Trial Event featuring Albedo, Bennett, Fischl, and Sucrose is also live until January 12, providing players with a fixed team in order to complete challenges for various reward.

Two more weapon events give players the chance to earn three different weapons: an Epitome Invocation for the five-star sword Summit Sharper and five-star catalyst Skyward Atlas, and the Stellar Reunion for the four-star sword Prototype Rancour. The Epitome Invocation is live until January 12, while the Stellar Reunion is only up for 14 days after the event activates.

Lastly, the Mountaineer’s Endurance event–the longest one of the bunch, running until February 1, 2021–lets players unlock either a Gnostic Hymn or Gnostic Chorus to earn Intertwined Fate and “a designated four-star weapon.” Of course, most of the events come with opportunities to earn Essence, Fragile Resin, Primogems, and other in-game resources.

Upcoming Genshin Impact Events And Wishes

  • The Chalk Prince and The Dragon: Event, December 23-January 1, 2021
  • Adventurer’s Booster Bundles: December 23-January 6, 2021
  • Secretum Secretorum, Albedo Character: Wish, December 23-January 12, 2021
  • Test Run, Character Trial: Event, December 23-January 12, 2021
  • Epitome Invocation, Summit Shaper Weapon: Wish, December 23-January 12, 2021
  • Mountaineer’s Endurance: Event, December 23-February 1, 2021
  • Stellar Reunion, Prototype Rancour Weapon: For 14 days after the Stellar Reunion event starts

Genshin Impact’s 1.2 update makes a number of changes, including implementing quality-of-life improvements and adding new content. Check out the version 1.2 patch notes for more details

Taika Waititi’s New FX Series Reservation Dogs Is A Comedy About Native American Teens Fighting/Committing Crime

Taiki Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit) is getting another series at FX, according to a release. In addition to the fabulously silly vampire series What We Do in the Shadows (which is heading into Season 3), the New Zealand-born writer-director is teaming with Native American writer and director Sterlin Harjo (Barking Water, Four Sheets to the Wind) for the upcoming Reservation Dogs. The show will be an eight-episode, half-hour comedy due out sometime in 2021.

A loose series synopsis describes the show as following “four Native teenagers in rural Oklahoma who spend their days committing crime and [also] fighting it.” It sounds intriguing and, given Waititi’s output, promises to be a fun blend of grounded storytelling with surreal comedy. The pilot has been co-written by Waititi and Harjo, with Harjo directing.

“As longtime friends, it was only natural that Taika and I found a project together, and what better than a show that celebrates the complementary storytelling styles of our indigenous communities–mine in Oklahoma and Taika’s in Aotearoa,” said Harjo. “We’re thrilled by the opportunity to tell the Reservation Dogs’ story with our amazing cast and crew.”

The show is also being described as a “true-to-life and incredibly funny story of youth, courage, and misadventures.”

Reservation Dogs stars D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Devery Jacobs, Paulina Alexis, and Lane Factor as the aforementioned teenagers. The pilot episode also features guest stars Tamara Podemski, Zahn McClarnon, Macon Blair, Kirk Fox, Matty Cardarople, Dallas Goldtooth, Lil Mike, and Funny Bone.

New On HBO Max In January 2021: Gremlins, Search Party, Escape From New York, And Tons More

Christmas came a bit early for Roku owners, when on December 17 Roku devices were finally able to access HBO Max. That means those of us with those devices were able to join the streaming fold just in time for a pretty packed January, which has plenty coming to help get your 2021 started off right. Check out the full list below along with a few recommendations.

Right out of the gate on New Year’s Day, there’s a staggering 102 new releases hitting HBO Max–and there’s tons of quality among that quantity, no matter your tastes. Both Gremlins 1 and 2 will be on the platform, which not only serve as great reminders for all the reasons why you shouldn’t snack after midnight–but also should help you get excited all over again for Gremlins 3, which hopefully is still ahead and will become a reality. Also hitting that day will be Escape from New York, the classic 1981 John Carpenter movie about federal prisoner Snake Pilssken (Kurt Russell) tasked with rescuing the president of the United States within 24 hours to earn himself a pardon in the faraway future, dystopian Manhattan Island of 1997. If you’ve never seen it, there’s no excuse: Give it a shot and enjoy all the cheeseball thrills and not so subtle political commentary.

While there are tons more classics to highlight (like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest on January 15 or Tender Mercies, the quiet 1983 Robert Duvall character study about an alcoholic country singer, on January 13), one of the perks to a streaming platform like HBO Max are its original programs. Search Party, the quirky dark thriller-comedy about Dory Sief (Alia Shawkat), a millennial who gets addicted to killing people–which started life on TBS back in 2016–kicks off Season 4 on January 14. The official synopsis given is pretty spoilery, but suffice it to say, things get even more complicated this upcoming season when Dory finds she has a stalker, and a film is being made about the trial related to one of her alleged murders. It might not sound like it, but the show is a very funny comedy (with a great soundtrack) above all else.

Much later that month, on January 29, the just announced suspenseful psychological thriller The Little Things “about two California sheriffs and their growing obsession with a suspect while embroiled in the search for a killer targeting women” will be on HBO Max and also in theaters. Co-starring Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto, The Little Things should be a very satisfying and tense ride.

Below, you’ll find everything coming and going from HBO Max for the month of January. For more streaming info, check out the January lists for Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Netflix, and Shudder.

Trump Pardons Congressman Who Spent Campaign Money On Steam Games

Former Republican congressman Duncan Hunter won’t serve any time in prison for spending campaign funds on video games and other personal items for his family.

Hunter is one of 15 convicted criminals to receive a full pardon from President Donald Trump earlier this week. The son of prominent Republican politician Duncan Lee Hunter served as a US Representative for California’s 50th congressional district from 2013 until resigning in early 2020 after pleading guilty to misusing campaign funds.

Hunter was sentenced to 11 months in prison after it was found out that he spent over $250,000 in campaign funds on luxury hotels, vacations, and other personal expenses. He even purchased plane tickets for his pet rabbits, named Eggburt and Cadbury. However, the politician never began his stint behind bars as the COVID-19 pandemic delayed his imprisonment until January 4, 2021.

Back in 2016, the congressman’s spokesperson claimed that Hunter’s son used his credit card to purchase $1,302 worth of games and that Hunter was looking to get the charges reversed before paying back the campaign account.

Hunter, who became infamous for vaping, has been a defender of gaming and has said that violent games are often used as a scapegoat.

“The narrative that children and young adults today stare at television and computer screens, developing lethal skills through first-person gaming experiences, disingenuously portrays video games as having a corrosive influence,” Hunter penned in Politico. “The problem with this rationale is that it conveys an image that America’s youth are incapable of discerning right from wrong, which simply is not true.”

As a result of the pardon, Hunter cannot be tried for his crimes again.
