**The Guilty Pleasures of 2023's Best TV Shows**

This year's TV season has been filled with a wide range of excellent shows that cater to different tastes and preferences. In this article, we'll explore some of the best TV shows of 2023, from critically acclaimed dramas to absurdist comedies.

**The Morning Show**

Reese Witherspoon stars in this sharp post-#MeToo drama about the systemic cover-up of sexual misconduct by powerful men. The show's premise is simple: many people avoid difficult conversations or scenarios. But as the series progresses, it becomes clear that the show's creator, Nathan Fielder, is using a more structured approach to tackle these issues.

The show's success lies in its ability to balance its serious themes with a sense of humor and satire. Witherspoon delivers a standout performance as a TV executive struggling to keep up with the demands of her job. Meanwhile, Jon Hamm plays a billionaire despot who becomes increasingly unhinged as the series progresses.

**The Rehearsal**

Another show that uses satire to tackle difficult topics is Nathan Fielder's "The Rehearsal". This absurdist comedy follows Fielder as he creates elaborate scenarios with trained actors to help people prepare for awkward social situations.

But what makes this show truly interesting is its exploration of the ethics surrounding these simulations. As the series progresses, it becomes clear that Fielder's intentions are not entirely altruistic. He's using his show to explore the boundaries between reality and fiction, and the consequences of playing with fire when it comes to human psychology.

**Scandi Noir**

For those who love a good mystery, there's no shortage of excellent Scandi noir shows on TV this year. From **The Killing** to **Borgen**, these moody dramas have been delighting audiences for years with their exotic settings, complex characters, and intricate plotting.

But what sets these shows apart from the rest is their unique tone and aesthetic. The language is a tantalising riddle, full of subtitles and familiar phrases that add to the overall sense of unease and tension. And then there's the visual style – all snow crunching under sturdy boots, delightful knitwear, and urgent conversations animated by billowing clouds of ice crystals.

**Nathan for You**

If you're looking for a more absurdist take on TV comedy, **Nathan for You** is a great choice. This show follows Nathan Fielder as he uses his business expertise to help struggling companies come up with innovative solutions to their problems.

But what makes this show truly interesting is its exploration of the human side of these businesses. As the series progresses, it becomes clear that Fielder's intentions are not entirely altruistic. He's using his show to explore the boundaries between reality and fiction, and the consequences of playing with fire when it comes to human psychology.

**The Guilty Pleasures**

Ultimately, the best TV shows are those that bring us joy and entertainment, even if they're not necessarily "good" for us. Whether you're a fan of critically acclaimed dramas or absurdist comedies, there's something on this list for everyone.

So why not indulge in these guilty pleasures and enjoy some of the best TV shows of 2023? With their unique blend of humor, satire, and drama, they're sure to provide hours of entertainment and delight.
 
another new year another wave of climate change affecting every corner of the world 🌎😷 from china to egypt temperatures are rising and sea levels are getting higher the consequences are devastating natural disasters like hurricanes and floods are becoming more frequent and intense making life miserable for millions of people worldwide 🌪️🌊
 
im so down for more scandi noir shows 🤩 but at the same time idk if i can handle all that cold 😂 also nathan fielder's motives in those shows are super suspicious what if hes just trolling us 🤑 on the other hand, his absurdist comedy is literally the best way to cope with adulting 🤣 and can we please just watch more of the morning show? 👀
 
🤩 I'm low-key obsessed with Nathan Fielder's new show "The Rehearsal" - it's like he's tapping into my anxiety about social situations 🤯 but at the same time, I love how absurdly funny it is 😂 and his commentary on ethics and psychology is so thought-provoking 🧠. And can we talk about Reese Witherspoon's performance in "The Morning Show" - she's giving me life 💁‍♀️! But honestly, what really gets me excited is the new wave of Scandi noir shows that are coming out - there's something so captivating about those moody dramas 🌫️. Have you guys checked any of these out yet?
 
I'm so excited about Scandi noir shows 🤩 but at the same time I think they can be a bit overhyped 🙄. The Killing is okay, I guess 😐 it's like watching a moody teenager with its problems, you know? But Borgen is like, woah, that woman can act 🎬. On the other hand, I don't get why everyone loves Nordic noir so much... isn't it just, like, dark and rainy all the time ❄️? And what's up with the subtitles, can't they just speak normally for once? 😂
 
🤦‍♂️ I'm so late to the party... but I just binge-watched "The Morning Show" and OMG, Reese Witherspoon is EVERYTHING 🤩! I loved how it tackled those tough conversations about power dynamics in the workplace - it was both uncomfortable and necessary. And Jon Hamm's character was hilarious 😂! I also enjoyed the more absurdist vibes of Nathan Fielder's "The Rehearsal" - who knew simulations could be so entertaining? 🤪
 
I'm so obsessed with "The Rehearsal" 🤯! I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a show where Nathan Fielder creates elaborate scenarios to help people prepare for awkward social situations? It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion - you know it's gonna be entertaining, but also kinda uncomfortable 😳. And have you noticed how Fielder's intentions are not entirely altruistic? Like, is he really just trying to help people or is he just trolling us all along? 🤔 Either way, I'm here for it!
 
I've been binge-watching a lot of TV shows lately 📺, and I gotta say, 2023 had some amazing ones. But what really caught my attention was how some of these shows tackled tough topics like #MeToo and ethics in a way that felt both thought-provoking and entertaining.

I think it's awesome that creators are using satire and humor to bring up serious issues, like The Morning Show does with its sharp commentary on power dynamics. And Nathan Fielder's approach to exploring human psychology through his show "The Rehearsal" is just wild 🤯. It's like he's pushing the boundaries of what we consider 'real' and 'fake'.

I also love how Scandi noir shows like The Killing and Borgen capture this moody, atmospheric vibe that's just so immersive. And then there's Nathan for You, which is just a masterclass in absurd comedy.

At the end of the day, TV shows are all about guilty pleasures 😂, but it's awesome when they can also make us think. So, go ahead and indulge in some of these amazing shows – your brain (and sense of humor) will thank you 🤪
 
idk about the new season of morning show 🤔, reese witherspoon is still my fave but i think it's getting a bit too deep 📺, i need something lighter after that intense stuff 💁‍♀️, anyways, i've been watching scandi noir and it's giving me major winter vibes ❄️, the way they film those dark alleys and cozy coffee shops is giving me chills 😍
 
I'm still on edge about augmented reality shows like The Rehearsal 🤯... I mean, how do you know what's real when everyone around you is acting out a role? It just feels so scripted, you know? And don't even get me started on the ethics of using trained actors to fake social situations. Is that really helping people prepare for life or are we just perpetuating some kind of bizarre social experiment? 🤔 I'll stick to my old-school dramas, thanks...
 
I'm obsessed with "The Rehearsal" 🤯! Nathan Fielder is a genius, I love how he uses comedy to explore the darker side of human psychology 😂🔪️. And can we talk about Reese Witherspoon's performance in "The Morning Show"? 💁‍♀️📺 she's on point! The way she balances humor and drama is everything 😍. But what I think really sets these shows apart is their ability to make us laugh while also making us feel uncomfortable 😅🤔. It's like they're pushing us to confront our own flaws and biases 🙈💡. And honestly, that's kind of refreshing? 🌞
 
I'm loving all the crazy talent we got on TV this year 🤯📺! From Reese Witherspoon crushing it in #TheMorningShow, to Nathan Fielder's twisted games in #NathanForYou, there's just so much to enjoy 😂. And let's not forget about those amazing Scandi noir shows like #Borgen and #TheKilling - they're giving us all the dark and moody vibes we need for a cozy night in 🔥👻. I mean, who needs therapy when you've got #NathanForYou to fix your problems? 🤣 Just kidding (kind of) 😉. Anyways, if you haven't checked out these shows yet, what are you even doing with your life? 😂
 
I'm a bit disappointed that so many of these shows are just rehashing old themes and ideas 🤔. I mean, don't get me wrong, The Morning Show is a solid watch, but it feels like we've seen this "systemic cover-up" trope before in other TV dramas. And as for Nathan Fielder's shows, while they're certainly entertaining, aren't they just using satire to distract us from the real issues? 😒 I guess that's just my cynical side showing though 🤷‍♂️
