Excellent Star Award 2026

22 January 2026

My personal preference, favourite and recognition for the local TV scene for Calendar Year 2026; as CY2026 is still on-going, this list will be updated accoringly with the premiere of new shows.

2026 opens strongly with the 'realistic' office drama "职不值得 The Grind". Hope Mediacorpse keep up the momentum and produce better dramas than 2025 (which is an extremely low benchmark).

However, "迷茫又无惧的我们 Last but not Least" is definitely below average due to its unrealistic plot and poor character development (especially Desmond Ng's character, who seems more like a terrible teacher from 1980s than a teacher post 2000; his notorious acts would definitely get him into trouble, receiving complains left right centre from by students and parents). the teens rebellious thrills are also very outdated and does not seems like stuffs Gen A will do. therefore, feels like the scriptwriter is writing a 1980s school drama than a 2025 drama. The saving grace is, Cheng Jun and Zi Sheng act well for their role. pity that Zhai Siming is downgraded to a useless cameo role.
