13 Shows That Were Criminally Underrated This Year

"This delightfully psychotic British series, which premiered on Netflix back in January, features one of my favorite performances of the year: Jessica Barden's Alyssa. The character is moody and wild and insecure and full of enough existential angst to power no less than three shows on The CW. As Alyssa, Barden grounds the plot by boldly exploring the messy, gritty aspects of life that young women endure day in and day out, from the uncomfortably funny (getting their periods at the worst possible moments) to making expert points about consent." — QK
