This year had some criminally underwatched TV, including a cracking feminist porn comedy, a razor-sharp look at millennial Muslims … and papergirls caught up in a time war
For season four, the most successful German TV drama ever made increasingly plunged the viewer into darkness. As the neo-noir crime show’s tale of Weimar-era Berlin grew ever closer to the advent of Nazi rule, lead detective Gereon Rath infiltrated the organisation in plots that became ever more menacing, while the wreckage of the 1929 financial crash destroyed lives all around him.
Spiky, funny, moving: this 70-minute drama about real-life disability rights activist Barbara Lisicki and her partner Alan Holdsworth had it all. The swaggering punk spirit the pair brought to their campaign to pass the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act – including disabled activists bringing central London to a standstill by handcuffing themselves to buses – suffused a show that was driven by Madeley’s fourth wall-busting monologues.
This feature-length adaptation of Kit de Waal’s novel was a heartbreaker, telling the story of a nine-year-old mixed-race boy growing up in care in Birmingham. Cole Martin gave such a mature and beautiful performance as Leon, capturing the confusion, hope and devastation of a boy who just wants to be reunited with his mum and baby brother. So real did it feel that you’ve never wanted to reach into your TV screen to give a character a hug so badly.
