Top 10 Best TV Shows of 2022
The year 2022 will mark the 100th anniversary of the Great War, also known as the World War, which was a world-wide conflict that lasted from spring 1919 to winter 1922 and involved many countries and regions in Europe. During this time, society developed rapid-fire technological changes that deeply affected every aspect of life. This was indeed the "twenties" and we are now in the "twenty-second century."
While these changes were occurring, television was growing quickly in popularity, and many people now prefer watching films and TV shows to going to the cinema or to the theatre. This article will identify the best TV shows of 2022 (in order of popularity on TikTok) in the hope of helping you discover a new show to love.

She quickly establishes herself as a standout lawyer by taking on high-profile cases and gaining recognition for her work. It is only because of her exceptional talent and hard work that she lands a job at a prestigious law firm where she meets and works closely with Ralph Morano, a talented and driven attorney who is also named after an actor.

They learn the art of magic and become highly professional in their field, especially after their uncle introduces them to a legendary Harry Houdini. The family regularly gets involved in crimes that they sometimes have to cover up in order to prevent the law from getting involved. The show is mostly based on actual events that occurred during the Great War and is credited with starting the "tweener" trend as many shows and films would incorporate "two-shots," which are two-camera set-ups that allow the audience to see the intimate moments between couples. The series also stars Sean Blakemore, Sarah Paulson, and Goran Višnjić.
7. Elite
This American action series is centered on a young law graduate, Lincoln Cole, who after the death of his father, is poised to take over the family law firm, which has been in existence for over 70 years. He quickly discovers that his family and the senior members of the law firm are not at all what they seem to be and that they are hiding sinister secrets. After being blackmailed, it becomes his responsibility to clear his family's name and find out who is trying to frame them. Working alongside a former federal prosecutor, Maggie Ross, he fights to prove their innocence and unravel the lies that have been fed to him to control both him and his growing family. It was announced in January 2022 that a movie adaptation of the series with the working title of "The Innocent" is currently in production and will star Ryan Reynolds and John Goodman. An earlier film adaptation, titled "Elite," was released in 2018 and starred Charlie Hunnam and Patricia Clarkson.
6. Babylon

After her father is murdered and her mother remarries, she is forced to move in with her uncle, Addy, and his wife, Nancy.

It is up to her to save her people and find justice for her father. The series also stars Jason Isaacs, Talulah Riley, and Max Brown.
5. Walking Dead
This American horror series is based on the comic book series of the same name and is also set in Atlanta. After a pandemic breaks out resulting in the death of most of the world's population, a small group of survivors try to stay alive in a world that has changed dramatically. Most of the action of this series takes place at night as the main characters must battle relentless zombies who want to eat their brains. While the series is sometimes gruesome and extremely violent, the main characters are often portrayed as heroic as they fight against impossible odds to save humanity. The show was initially inspired by the success of fellow Netflix show, "The Hoarders," which follows the story of a group of people who have found a way to survive after the world went insane. Walking Dead continues this trend and focuses on the greed, hatred, and violence that continue to permeate society after the pandemic. The popularity of this show among viewers is reflected in its frequent use on TikTok, where it has over 500 million views on TikTok and another 700 million views on Google Play.
4. Mockingjay
This final film in the Hunger Games trilogy is set in the dystopian future of "The Post-Pandemic" world.

When Katniss Everdeen's (played by Jennifer Lawrence) brother, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), whom she has to protect, is selected as the Mockingjay, the rebellion that has been biding its time grows in strength. The games have created an atmosphere of fear in which the people long to break free and Katniss sees this as a golden opportunity to finally take action and change the world for the better. It is only because of her immense willpower and strength that she is able to lead the rebellion and help the people rise up against their oppressors. This is probably the best example of how "The Hunger Games" franchise has evolved and grown in popularity since the end of the "Games" with each successive film building upon the previous one.
