[Wrap-Up 2022] Day 21: A Drama that Was Better Than Expected

We did this last year, so here it is for this year -- End of the Year Drama Challenge - 2022 Edition.

(I know it's late this year, but better late than never yah?!!)

Started as a twitter challenge in 2020 by @anniedelavoye, I have started polls last year based off the challenge to collate the responses, for a nice drama wrap up of the year for MDL users.

This is the list for Day21: A Drama that Was Better Than Expected.

Note:

  1. Only one response (vote) per MDL user, per the challenge.
  2. All the polls will end on 15 Jan 2023, 2359H (UTC).
  3. Per previous year, a wrap-up will be done based on the overall poll results. So do participate in the poll before then.

To see the list for other days, refer to the Forum "End of the Year Drama Challenge - 2022 Edition" for links to lists for other days.

Have fun everyone :)
