Unlucky in love, resented by her adult children, and estranged from her manager turned bestie, future Midge is uber-successful, but uber-lonely. Maisel, global comedy superstar-and learn the excruciating costs of fame. An audacious flash-forward device sends the story decades into the future, where we encounter Mrs. Maisel finally takes a long, hard look at its inimitable heroine, warts and all.

The rest of the list should pass your inspection-here are the best shows of the year so far. And yours truly is a staunch defender of Hijack's legitimate candidacy for the show of the summer title. Plus, we're reeling from the return of What We Do In the Shadows, which was so damn good that we couldn't leave it out. Of course, Foundation's brilliant new season was enough to land our good friend Lee Pace on this list. (What? Do you want us to start digging so far that we get into Secret Invasionterritory?)

This time, thankfully, the battle wasn't too contentious-we've only added five shows to this latest update. So, once again, it felt like time for Esquire's entertainment editors to convene to decide the best shows of the year so far. We're over halfway through the year, which-in TV time, with the boatloads of shows we're delivered each and every day-amounts to about a decade.
