Series of the Year 2023 - Best Drama Series

This column supports the Series of the Year election 2023 and focuses on the best drama series of the year. You can vote for your favorite series in this genre and others, between Monday, January 2, and Sunday 4 February.
Sometimes I wonder why certain series are labeled as drama and others are not. Drama is therefore an easy name to describe a whole range of diverse series. If we look at the ten nominees, almost all of them could be given a different stamp. The problem with these nominees, however, is that they do not immediately fit into the other possible end-of-year lists that are built around one particular genre.

Below are the top ten nominees of best drama series from 2023 in alphabetical order.

1923


1923
1923 is a prequel to Yellowstone in which we follow the ancestors of the Dutton family as they struggle to survive historic drought, lawlessness, the alcohol ban and an epidemic of cattle theft. With Hellen Mirren and Harrison Ford, the makers also brought in two great figures from American film history.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about 1923.

Billions


Billions
The financial drama series Billions came to an end with the seventh season. Even a break from lead actor Damian Lewis during season six did not detract from the success of this series. Yet this beautiful song now comes to an end.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about Billions.

Heartstopper


Heartstopper
Heartstopper tells the story of Nick and Charlie, two British teenagers at an all-boys school. Charlie, an uptight, openly gay thinker and Nick, a cheerful, gentle rugby player, who meet one day.
Unfortunately, no reviews have been written about Heartstopper just yet

Succession


Succession
The Roy family, consisting of father Logan and his four children, controls one of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world: Waystar Royco. As an 80-year-old, father Logan begins to make mistakes. The media mogul will have to make way for a successor. But who? And does he also see it that way? After four seasons, the curtain falls on this series. Whether they can also win a my series award with that last season will be determined in this list, because Succession did not receive a nomination in the category 'best ended series'.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about Succession.

The Crown


The Crown
The third nominee in this section who will not survive 2023. The story of the political tug-of-war between Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street and the intrigues, love lives and machinations of the royal family and British political leaders has also written its final chapter.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about The Crown.

The Diplomat (US)


The Diplomat (US)
The Diplomat (US) is a high-quality, contemporary political drama about the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships, between countries and people. I, 'as a non-Netflix viewer', can't say much more about this series.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about The Diplomat (US).

The Gilded Age


The Gilded Age
The American Gilded Age in 1885 was a period of enormous economic change during which enormous fortunes were made and lost and the rise of inequality between old money and new money, which is reflected again today. The story of Marian Brook and the Russel family continues in the second season.
Unfortunately, no reviews have been written about The Gilded Age just yet

The Good Doctor


The Good Doctor
Hospital series have always been very popular. The list of similar series is very long and some of those series are coming in one season after another. Who still remembers ER, one of the pioneers in the genre that lasted fifteen seasons. Then it was House M.D.'s turn, which had eight seasons. Today it is Grey's Anatomy that breaks all records with twenty seasons. The Good Doctor is also on the right track with an announced seventh season.
Unfortunately, no reviews have been written about The Good Doctor just yet

The Morning Show


The Morning Show
If you can show off with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon in your cast, you have already received half a nomination. The Morning Show continues on its current path with a strong story and an excellent cast.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about The Morning Show.

Tulsa King


Tulsa King
In Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone appears as a mafia boss in the town of Tulsa where he wants to take over after a long prison sentence. Stallone's appearance is already unique. He also received an Emmy nomination for this series. The man may be the personification of the action hero, but he was never really seen as an actor. However, with Tulsa King he proves the opposite.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about Tulsa King.

These were all the ten nominees that have been chosen by you, the writers and myself. Want to choose a different series instead? You can always decide to use your wildcard. Good luck voting!

Well, that's a good start. A category in which I have not seen any series :-) Maybe use a wildcard here for "Reservation Dogs". If a dramady can be chosen in this category, that is.

PS: small correction to the info at 1923. Dame Helen Mirren is a British actress ;-)

Both Billions, thanks in part to the return of Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis), and Succession were great.

In this category the choice is not that difficult for me because that is Succession.

Like Blackbiker, I haven't seen any of these series, although the entire Yellowstone series is on my list, just like Tulsa King. That will be using a wildcard.

Seen little from this list. I didn't think the last season of The Crown was very great. The Gilded Age is still on my to-watch list. Perhaps a wildcard for Time or De Stamhouder

Phew, I really loved 1923. I think I can only take the first half of season 6 of The Crown, which I didn't think was very good. Haven't seen The Diplomat yet, but Tulsa King is cool. Long story short, difficult.

Tulsa King, The Guilded Age of The Diplomat…. That will be difficult to choose. I really liked all three.
