Dennis Waterman, later known for his role in Minder, plays a man who travels to Dracula’s castle with his fiancée to find his missing brother – a risky decision!

Channel 4’s alternative Christmas message in the UK is traditionally meant to be thought-provoking, surprising, and sometimes a little cheeky. But this year, it felt like a rerun of American late-night complaints, delivered by someone who seems to mostly express anger and sadness for effect.

This list comes from my reporting on the entertainment industry this year, combined with insights from three of my colleagues at Vulture: Roxana Hadadi, Nick Quah, and Kathryn VanArendonk. We discussed what worked and what didn’t with these platforms over the last year, considering both our expert opinions and what we’ve seen from people outside the industry—including whether they’re even paying attention. After a lot of discussion, we reached a consensus and created a list that accurately reflects the state of the industry this year.
