Whether it’s the conclusion of juggernaut hits or new shows that sparked conversation, the television medium delivered in 2023.
The anticipated adaptation of “Daisy Jones & the Six” kept us dancing (and crying) in the spring, while the brilliantly devastating conclusion of “Succession” left us catching our breath in May. “The Last of Us” reminded us of the real emotional stakes of a zombie apocalypse, and Netflix’s “Beef” showed us the depths a person can go to when seeking retribution.
The historic Hollywood double strikes delayed the returns of our favorite broadcast series in the fall, but streaming series like “The Buccaneers” and “The Curse,” and linear hits like “The Golden Bachelor” and “Fargo” kept us glued to our screens this year.
Check out TheWrap’s staff picks for the best TV shows of 2023 below.

Warning! This post contains major spoilers for the final two episodes and ending of “All the Light We Cannot See.”
Shawn Levy and Steven Knight’s Netflix adaptation “All the Light We Cannot See” ends quite differently for a few key characters than source material Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
The four-part limited series tells a split story of Marie-Laure LeBlanc (Aria Mia Loberti), a young blind, French girl who moves with her father to a small seaside town in France when the Germans take over the country, and Werner Pfennig (Louis Hoffman) an unwilling Nazi soldier whose job is to track down illegal radio broadcasts that the French use to codify messages to the United States and other Allied countries during World War II. The two main characters, who exist on opposing sides of a historical tragedy, actually have a lot in common thanks to a radio broadcast they listened to as children,...

Adapted from Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Netflix’s limited series “All the Light We Cannot See” sets two unlikely kindred spirits on a collision course as World War II begins in France when Germany occupied the country. Shawn Levy directed all four episodes of Steven Knight’s scripts.
Marie-Laure LeBlanc (Aria Mia Loberti) and Werner Pfennig (Louis Hoffman) share curiosity and empathy, which translates across their opposing countries and positions in the war. Werner’s skill for fixing and translating radios leads him to a high position in the Nazi effort to decode secret broadcasts that their targets might send. Marie-Laure herself becomes a broadcaster after her father moves her to her uncle’s home in a small, seaside French town.

Plot: The story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it from falling into the hands of the Nazis. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance. Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope.
Review: Anthony Doerr’s acclaimed novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 2015, one year after Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch.

Netflix unveiled the full trailer for “All the Light We Cannot See,” its limited series adaptation of Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, on Tuesday, offering a closer look at the prestige drama.
“Stranger Things” and “Shadow and Bone” executive producer Shawn Levy directed all four episodes of Steven Knight’s teleplay, which follows the stories of Marie-Laure LeBlanc (Aria Mia Loberti) and Werner (Louis Hoffman) as they intersect during World War II in German-occupied France. Marie-Laure rebels against the Nazis with her nightly broadcasts, while she roams the streets with her walking stick — she is blind — by day. Werner was trained to pick up radio frequencies at the institution where he was inducted into the German armed forces. His affinity for tracing airwaves and soundwaves sets him on a collision course to discover Marie-Laure’s clandestine broadcasts.

Shawn Levy and the cast of Netflix’s “All the Light We Cannot See” are giving a special look at the “timeless” limited series in a behind-the-scenes featurette that debuted Thursday.
“All the Light We Cannot See” is based on the Anthony Doerr novel of the same name that follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, and her father as they navigate German-occupied Paris during World War II. Steven Knight adapted the book.
Director and executive producer Levy searched for an actor who could fill the shoes of Marie, landing upon Aria Mia Loberti, who is visually impaired. “Maria’s experience of blindness is not a catalyst for the story necessarily,” said Loberti, adding that “it is her experience as a blind girl navigating love and loss at the time of war.”
Levy revealed that Loberti never had intentions of being an actor, and the Netflix series served as her first audition.

(This whole article is spoilers for the twisty German time travel series “Dark” on Netflix. This is just more than 3,000 words of spoilers. Just a wall of spoilers here, basically.)
I really did not think that “Dark” would get an actually conclusive ending. I thought the German Netflix series was just too complicated, its mountain of paradoxes too large, to break the insane and endless cycle at the heart of this completely insane show. I thought “Dark” creators Jantje Friese and Baran Bo Odar would take the story to a logical and thematically appropriate stopping point, and the cycle would continue forever.
But that didn’t turn out to be the case. The duo managed to find a way to break the loop and end the series in a way that actually works. It’s not perfectly airtight — we cannot, with 100 percent certainly, piece together the entirety of this story.
