The Best TV Shows Of 2023
National Treasure: Edge of History — On Disney+
While this show technically premiered at the end of 2022, it ended after the new year so we didn't want to miss the chance to recommend it! Edge of History follows Jess and her friends, who find themselves in a race against dangerous black market dealer Billie for an ancient treasure. Even though it can be little cheesy at times, the treasure hunting and themes of loyalty and friendship make this show pure fun. It's also a great option for younger family members.
Kaleidoscope — On Netflix
This groundbreaking limited series features eight episodes surrounding a heist, covering a period of 25 years. Every episode takes place during a different point during those 25 years, and while it features both internal and external threats, the truly unique thing about this show is that you can change the order that you watch the episodes and get a different viewing experience every time.
Ginny & Georgia: Season 2 — On Netflix
The new season of Ginny & Georgia finds Ginny wrestling with the knowledge that her step-dad died at the hands of her mother. Georgia, however, would rather focus on the present, but it doesn't take long for her to realize that the past always catches up to you.
