Barack Obama has released his eagerly-awaited annual list of favourite TV shows that made 2019 "a little brighter" for him, continuing what the former US President said has become a "fun little tradition". He wrote: "Next up are my favorite movies and TV shows of 2019. This year’s list includes everything from explorations of class dynamics and relationships, to an inspired reboot of a classic graphic novel, to a portal back to one of the most special places in history — an Aretha Franklin concert."
His list includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge's "Fleabag" season two, limited series "Unbelievable", and Damon Lindelof's critically-acclaimed series "Watchmen", was included in his top picks.
