I have been playing catchup and was on the brink of wrapping up a few series… This Fool on Hulu (mildly amusing but not my thing), Killing It on Peacock (dumb but pretty funny), HighSchool on Freevee (I liked the idea of the twins’ story more than I felt compelled by the execution though would come back), and Evil (still too creepy but good) and The Good Fight (sad to say goodbye to these peeps) on Paramount+. I’m poking around for a minute on Paramount+ before canceling that subscription. I’m also adding a few other shows from best of 2022 lists before switching to movies. And of course, midseason is officially kicking off.
- Will Trent (ABC) Series Premiere, Tuesday 1/3, 10pm – Based on a book series this agent in the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (huh?) uses his unique POV to clear cases.
- Ginny & Georgia (Net) Season Premiere, Thursday 1/5 – I was surprisingly engaged with the first season of this family looking for new beginnings that find more than a few complications, it’s sweet and a little edgy.
- The Rig (Am) Series Premiere, Friday 1/6 – A supernatural mist comes to an oil rig.
- Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches (AMC & others) Series Premiere, Sunday 1/8, 9pm – Based on the books, a woman discovers she’s part of a witch fam and of course, there’s some drama.
- Alert (Fox) Series Premiere, Sunday 1/8, 9pm – A new missing person drama set in Philly.
- Velma (HBOM) Series Premiere, Thursday 1/12 – Mindy Kaling voices the key member of the Scooby gang in this adult animated comedy.
- The Last of Us (HBO) Series Premiere, Sunday 1/15, 9pm – A futuristic look at a man and girl trying to survive after the collapse of modern civilization.
- The Way Home (Hall) Series Premiere, Sunday 1/15, 9pm – I don’t follow any of Hallmark’s series but assuming they’re relatively formulaic, this is a multigenerational family drama.
