As this year winds down, we have asked Pulse Nigeria staff to share their personal favourite TV shows of the year.
From "Game of Thrones" to "Insecure," check them out.
1. "Game of Thrones"
The plot, characterization, twists and turns, unpredictability, action, acting and impeccable writing are on point.
It is very entertaining, and even the virality of the show is endearing - viewers get to start or join interesting conversations about a show they truly enjoy.
2. "This is Us"
This highly emotional drama is really insightful for young adults and gets one prepped for life ahead.
Everything about "This is Us" is relatable. It is so rare to find a show that combines comedy and emotions perfectly as the show does.

3. "Stranger Things"
Interestingly, "Stranger Things" returned for a second season as lively and entertaining as its first season, matching the great expectations that were placed upon it.
The second season is smooth-running, driven by some of the most likable young actors on the screen.
4. "EL Chapo"
It could be mistaken as the new "Narcos," but the story and acting are delivered with a unique intensity that makes it different and really enjoyable.
5. "The Handmaid's Tale"
Hulu's adaptation of Margaret Atwood's dystopia is written in a terrifying way that seems relatable to the world's current climate.

6. "Insecure"
This series about the modern-day black woman is different, realistic, insightful, raunchy, and hilarious
It helps with the near-to home good feel people long for in movies or shows; not alien realities or seven kingdoms and a Night king.
7. "Blackish"
A sitcom about a middle-class black family, "Blackish" is aimed at openly discussing racist stereotypes.
It is interesting how the show handle serious topics in a light-hearted manner.
8. "The Young Pope"
"The Young Pope" isn't what it seems: It is pleasantly weird, funny and compelling. And contrary to what many might think, it doesn't ridicule the Vatican.
9. "Godless"
This authentic, rich and entertaining series puts to shame every concept that feminism MUST be limited to only female sexuality, and what or who not women are allowed to have sex with.
10. "Narcos"
Even without Pablo Escobar, the third season of "Narcos" is gripping. With some remarkable performances and well constructed action sequences, "Narcos" is one of 2017's best TV shows.
