Though in fairness to the bard, we might have finally reached that point of excess. After all, Apple TV Plus released two seasons of the excellent "Slow Horses" last year. And though everyone is still trying to catch up on 2022's best shows - we're not even 12 months removed from "The Bear" and "The White Lotus"! - 2023 is already off to a prodigious start. The first episode of HBO's zombie video-game-turned-series "The Last of Us" was the network's second-biggest premiere of the past 13 years, eventually reaching more than 10 million viewers - only hinting at the deluge of shows to come.
