The American Film Institute (AFI) has released their annual Top 10 lists of the best TV shows and films of the year. Most of the entries on the movie side are pretty expected, includingGet Out,The Shape of Water, andThe Big Sick. But there’s a blockbuster sneaking its way in there as well … yes, it’sWonder Woman! Speculation has been rampant about which blockbusters could make the cut for the Oscars and other major film awards (Logan?Wonder Woman?Blade Runner 2049?), so it’s interesting to seeWonder Womanincluded on this list to start.
On the TV side, there are some expected entries (The Handmaid’s Tale,The Crown,Feud: Bette and Joan) as well as some unexpected but pleasant surprises (The Good Place,Insecure).Stranger Thingsis a little bit surprising this year – this season was exceptionally fun, but is it one of the Top 10 best? – but perhaps most curious is the inclusion, once again, ofThis Is Us. It always sneaks in there, doesn’t it? And while a storyline revolving around a foster daughter has been particularly compelling, this season has not had the same quality as its first.
Also,Ken Burns' heralded documentaryThe Vietnam Warhas been given a special AFI Award. Check out the full Top 10 for film and television below:
