Let’s get one thing straight: 2021 was a tough, tumultuous year. The movie and television industries felt that acutely – between halted productions and the slow return to theaters, it’s been a strange time to create films and shows and then put them out into the world.
That said, a ton of good work has come out this year, whether it’s been released on streaming services, theaters or some combination of the two. That excellence has spanned genres: whether you’re an action buff or looking to escape into a movie musical, 2021’s releases have something for every kind of taste. But when you’re looking for something to curl up on the couch with this holiday season, the sheer amount of options is a lot to wade through.
That’s where our critics come in: Every December, they pick the crème de la crème of 2021’s TV and movies and explain why they’re worth your time. Their selections represent both the year’s blockbuster successes and sleeper hits; some of their recommendations might even surprise you. And we’ve gone one step further: with our interactive guide, you can sort the shows and movies based on genre and where to watch them. That means you can tailor their best-of list to your own combination of streaming services or watching preferences.
So take a look around, select your lineup, and make plans for a TV-movie marathon. Happy watching!
