Netflix is again the most viewed streaming service and voters prefer to do so via television. HBO Max is not yet in this list, but Prime Video and Disney + are in second and third place respectively. And after television, the laptop is the most popular way to watch your favorite series.
We will start with the best actress and work towards the best series of 2022 according to the members of MySeries.tv.
These are the results of the MySeries of the year 2022 elections
Best Actress of 2022
The actresses were voted on 1488 times, but from day one it was completely clear that Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) was superior. I believe there has never been such a clear winner in the eleven years that we have held these elections. With no less than 43 percent, she has become the absolute number one. The battle between the numbers two, three and four was interesting to follow.
Below are the top 6 in the Best Actress of 2022 category:
1. Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams (Wednesday, Netflix) – 635 votes (43%)
2. Milly Alcock as young Rhaenyra Targaryen (House of the Dragon, HBO) 222 votes (15%)
3. Elizabeth Debicki as Diana, Princess of Wales (The Crown, Netflix) – 190 votes (13%)
4. Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler (Better Call Saul, AMC) - 189 votes (13%)
5. Zendaya Coleman as Rue Bennett (Euphoria, HBO) - 162 votes (11%)
6. Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Disney+) – 90 votes (6%)
Best Actor of 2022
Was it the serial killer or the shady lawyer, because the race was about these two characters/actors from the start. In the end, it soon turned out that the "charming" serial killer was preferred. After 1402 votes it is completely clear that Dahmer had the better papers.
Below are the top 6 in the category Best actor of 2022:
1. Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer (Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Netflix) - 410 votes (29%)

5. Kit Connor as Nick Nelson (Heartstopper, Netflix) - 99 votes (7%)
Most Disappointing series of 2022
No series could be in the shadow of the series that became number one. The Dutch drama series by and with Linda de Mol has won the most disappointing trophy by force majeure. The number two was also known quite quickly, but the third and fourth prize was quite a battle, but in the end the worst of the two won.
Below are the top 5 in the category Most Disappointing series of 2022 (1287 votes):
1. Five Live (SBS 6) – 391 votes (30%)

Best Animated Series of 2022
Who would it be this year, only in the last week did it become clear who the winner would be. For a moment it seemed that a wildcard in this category would make it to the top ten, but unfortunately, that trend has not continued.
Below are the top 5 in the category Best Animated Series of 2022 (1108 votes):
1. Pokémon (TV Tokyo) – 270 votes (24%)

Best Ended series of 2022
For a really long time, it wasn't clear who was going to end up on top. Then it was the favorite again and a few days later the other again. But well before the final day of voting, it was clear that the zombie apocalypse was favored by voters. The numbers three, four and five were quite close at all times. Some series will certainly be missed and for some, it is best that it is now over.
Below are the top 5 in the category Best Ended series of 2022 (1488 votes):
1. The Walking Dead (AMC) – 300 votes (20%)
2. Peaky Blinders (BBC One) - 280 votes (19%)

5. Locke & Key (Netflix) - 139 votes (9%)
The wildcard with the most votes in this category is:
The Good Fight with 3 votes!
Best Superhero series of 2022
Just like last year, it is the anti-heroes who received the most votes. Not surprising because this series has also been viewed well and has already received at least two spin-offs. Marvel and Star Wars were left behind.
Below are the top 5 in the category Best Superhero series of 2022 (1284 votes):
1. The Boys (Prime Video) – 299 votes (23%)

The Flash (2014) with 6 votes!
Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Series of 2022
Kate Bush has made her return because of this series. The British singer saw her popularity rise sharply and that did her no harm. The result is clear though a bit of a surprise. The strange things and a scion of the Addams family made us forget about the dragons.
Below are the top 5 in the Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Series category of 2022 (1506 votes):
1. Stranger Things (Netflix) - 347 votes (23%)

Best Crime Series of 2022
Crime doesn't pay, except in the MySeries Series of the Year Election 2022. Serial killers, crime families, or gangsters from Birmingham all have one thing in common, they have made it into the top three best crime series. And how exciting it turned out to be! The absolute number one has become the series that unfortunately has ended, although fans can still look forward to a closing film.
Below are the top 5 in the category Best Crime Series of 2022 (1499 votes):
1. Peaky Blinders (BBC One) - 367 votes (24%)

5. Reacher (Prime Video) – 153 votes (10%)
The wildcard with the most votes in this category is:
The Rookie with 5 votes!
Best Foreign-language series of 2022
This was a very exciting battle for first and second place. Almost every few days the number one and two traded places. In the end, it was the Danish series that beat the Spanish series on the very last day.
Below are the top 5 in the category Foreign-language series of 2022 (1286 votes):
1. Borgen (DR1) – 238 votes (19%)

The wildcard with the most votes in this category is:
La Casa de Papel with 8 votes (1%)!
Best Mini/Anthology series of 2022
This category wasn't as exciting as it was about who is the best serial killer. It soon became apparent that Dahmer had appealed to the imagination just a little more. Perhaps because he actually existed and the serial killer from Miami was a fictional, but friendly, killer.
Below are the top 5 in the category Best Mini/Anthology series of 2022 (1402 votes):
1. Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (Netflix) – 412 votes (28%)

The wildcard with the most votes in this category are:
1883 and Pieces of Her with 3 votes!
Best Comedy/Dramedy Series of 2022
Drama combined with comedy is doing well in serial land. The combination of humor and a green superhero was also appreciated, just like murder and humor. Laughter is healthy, even when dealing with grief, green heroes, and murder.
Below are the top 5 in the Best Comedy/Dramedy Series category of 2022 (1338 votes):
1. After Life (Netflix) – 272 votes (20%)

5. Grace and Frankie (Netflix) - 131 votes (10%)
The wildcard with the most votes in this category is:
Young Sheldon with 4 votes!
Best Flemish/Dutch series of 2022
Dutch and Flemish series no longer appear to be all that unknown. Better series are being made in the Netherlands and in our Southern neighbors. You can also see that in the votes, more and more people are watching good series made on their own and/or on Belgian soil.
Below are the top 5 in the category Best Flemish/Dutch series of 2022 (1474 votes):
1. Undercover (VRT/Netflix) – 408 votes (28%)

Dertigers (NL) and Onder Vuur with 2 votes!
Best Drama series of 2022
The best drama series for the second time as a category and it is remarkable that I did not have to change the numbers one and two. It was still exciting until the last moment who would eventually become number two and three.

Yellowstone (2018) with 5 votes!
Best new series of 2022
I think many will be surprised at this result, because the dragons are just missing out on the gold. Actually, they didn't stand a chance against The Addams Family spin-off. But it was soon clear that they would finish at #2. The 'charismatic' killer lost out to the fantasy genre.
Below are the top 5 in the category Best new series of 2022 (1679 votes):
1. Wednesday (Netflix) – 512 votes (30%)
2. House of the Dragon (HBO) – 263 votes (16%)
3. Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (Netflix) – 182 votes (11%)

The wildcard with the most votes in this category are:
Andor and Severance with 4 votes!
Best Series of 2022
The last chance for the dragons to take the gold, but unfortunately, that was not the case at all. The battle for first place didn't take all that long to be definitive. Although anything could happen with the numbers two and three, the Targaryens proved to be able to stay ahead of the rest.
Below the top 5 in the Best Series of 2022 category (1853 votes):
