Viewed: Seasons 1-3

Yes, this has featured on an annual television-watching list before, but I only watched 3 or 4 episodes and then never got to the rest. Well, this time I stuck with it and watched all three seasons of this classic cartoon series, and I'm incredibly satisfied with my decision. This is definitive Batman, with Kevin Conroy emerging as the best Batman while Mark Hamill is the definitive Joker. (Any time I read a comic book, I read lines in my head in Conroy and Hamill's voices.) The serialised nature of the show is one of the reasons why it works so well, because it plays with format, and brings in recurring characters like Robin and Barbara Gordon. The stories are compressed into enjoyable bite-sized episodes at 20 minutes apiece (aside from the two-parters), making the show an easy watch. The animation may have dated in terms of detail and fluidity, but a sense of style is readily apparent throughout, with creative framing and use of shadows and colours. This really is an exceptional series, and its legacy speaks for itself. You have got to watch it.

Viewed: Series XI

The first in a block of two seasons that will likely signify the end of this classic Britcom, Red Dwarf XI actually betters 2012's Series X, and is the strongest run of the show since the 1990s. It's clear that money was actually put into the show this time, with visuals and lighting that exceed that of a usual sitcom, and the stories are usually on-point. The four lead actors continue to give it their all, and though the series is not consistently hilarious, it is fun. And it does have some quality laughs.
