My favorite category! As a great fantasy and science fiction lover, we had plenty to enjoy again. A lot of new series or new seasons have been released, some better than others. With the help of my fellow writers and you, the readers, we managed to make a selection again. A good mix of fantasy and science fiction has been released, with many different sub-genres. So there will be something for everyone!
Hieronder in alfabetische volgorde de top tien genomineerden van beste series uit 2023;
Ahsoka
This Mandalorian spin-off has been nominated several times this year. I am not a Star Wars expert myself, but I am a fan of Rosario Dawson. But will Ahsoka beat her parent series in this category?

Foundation (2021)
Opinions are divided about this epic series. Huge tasks, a story that takes place over thousands of years, an enormous number of characters. How do you ever turn this into a series? The makers have found several solutions for this and they seem to work. We are now waiting for the third season (which has been announced!) so that we can enjoy the face (and other parts) of Lee Pace's Foundation (2021) again.
Unfortunately, no reviews were written about Foundation (2021) just yet
His Dark Materials
The story is over. And how?! The best thing that can happen to a series enthusiast is a series that is planted from beginning to end, that is not cut down prematurely and also does not continue unnecessarily for a long time. His Dark Materials is such a series and is also of immensely high quality. Truly phenomenal.

The Last of Us
Zombies! And no, we're not talking about The Walking Dead. The Last of Us achieved great success in early 2023 and is once again generating buzz at the award shows. Will this blockbuster win the prizes?

The Mandalorian
I said it before, is Ahsoka going to beat its mother series? Because The Mandalorian has also been nominated in this category again. I'm very curious to see how this battle will go.

Shadow and Bone
Shadow and Bone definitely gets a spot on this list. It's a shame that we don't get a worthy ending for this fantasy series. One of the major victims of the strikes deserved more. But luckily we can still send the series to the graveyard with a MySeries award.

Silo
Rebecca Ferguson. That was it. That was the whole argument. (but seriously; a very interesting plot and many rave reviews, go see Silo!)
Unfortunately, no reviews were written about Silo just yet
Star Trek: Picard
Star Trek: Picard has breathed its last. After three seasons, the series has come to an end. Will the final season win this award?

The Wheel of Time
When we talk about fantastic high fantasy, we quickly think of major series such as House of the Dragon. But what a beautiful, immensely good series The Wheel of Time is. The first season fluctuated in terms of quality, but the second season is really great. Magic, prophets, Rosamund Pike. I'm really going to watch all of this because I want every season and the whole story. It must be done!

The Witcher
Well, The Witcher. If opinions are divided about one series, then that series is The Witcher. I have seen everything and I enjoy watching it, but I am very curious to see where we are actually going. Furthermore, Henry Cavill's departure is going to put the series in dangerous waters, I expect. We'll see in season four if it can survive his absence. In any case, the series is on this list!

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!
