Nope, these aren’t the normal critics end-of-year lists, but just a general overview of the stuff I’ve been reading and watching in 2010. I’m hoping this list will be pretty mammoth when the year is over!

I should point out a couple of things:

1. These are all things I have been pre-occupied with in 2010 regardless of whether or not I have already seen/read them before.
2. When I mean TV shows I mean drama, comedy and documentaries.
