As we began our annual ranking of the 100 Best Shows on TV Right Now, it was impossible to ignore the fact that there s never been a right now quite like this one.
The world is still reeling amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which has killed more than 800,000 people. As schools, restaurants, businesses, music venues, and sports arenas shut down beginning in March in an effort to slow the spread of the deadly coronavirus, so did Hollywood.
