Last year I made Top-10 lists of my favorite movies and TV shows I watched throughout the year. I thought it was fun so I’m doing it again for 2024.
If you’re not interested in checking out my fantastic content recommendations but are yearning for something strictly finance-related, here’s a link to the main blog page where you can read past articles.
Due to the Hollywood writer’s strike at the end of 2023, there was less to watch this year. TV production was down about 16% year over year and about two fewer movies were released each month than last year.
So I’m not sure if it was the after-effects of the strike or if I was just busier with other things, but I didn’t watch as much stuff this year as I have in years past. I also don’t think it was a banner year for movies or TV.
Nevertheless, maybe these lists can help give you an idea of some things to watch as you spend time with family over the holidays.
