We watched a lot of TV in 2021. We’re looking back at shows we loved and the TV moments staining our memories [hello Armond from The White Lotus]. We’re also talking about the TV culture shifts we noticed in 2021, the TV we want to see more of in 2022, and the TV we’re happy to toss in the bin.

Featuring two friends of Stop Everything: Patrick Lenton deputy arts and culture editor at The Conversation and a former editor of Junkee, and Hannah Reich, Arts on RN/ABC Arts digital producer.
