And, against all odds, television — most of it made in the pre-covid-19 era, only to debut in a landscape where the world had irreparably changed — delivered an opportunity to escape and relate.

Below you’ll find stories that inspired, engaged — and don’t dismiss the importance of this last one — entertained. It’s not just Peak TV, It’s Peak Cataclysm TV.
