The best series of 2023. These titles on the podium are quite a surprise

The plot focuses on the fate of a young housewife (played by Lucille Ball), who, not wanting to live in the shadow of her famous husband, Ricky (Desi Arnaz), resorts to the craziest ideas that turn her family’s life upside down.

Interestingly, the top fifty did not include series such as “Greys Anatomy”, or “Hannibal”, which ultimately took 68th, 83rd and 99th place.
