Excited and sad to see the series finale of Schitts Creek coming up on April 7, Killing Eve is back on April 12, and I need to figure out what I’m going to do about the return of The Good Fight (sign up for CBSAA? free trial? wait and pay later on Amazon?). I haven’t even started the latest seasons of Ozark or Sex Education yet, what am I doing?! Well I’ve been catching up on some movies, stay tuned for my 2019 post this next week. I did watch Making the Cut the new Time/Heidi Runwy-esque show, and while certainly enjoyable some pros and cons on this in comparison, will stay tuned and see how it rolls along. As well as the slightly campy but will tune in for another Motherland: Fort Salem about witches training for battle and associated drama. I also wrapped up Arrested Development, I had forgotten the second half of the last season and while the early years were amazing this one back to life is missing a bit of the luster.

Also to note that Quibi about to launch, on April 6. What is Quibi you might ask, I sure did. It’s a new streaming app dedicated to ‘Quick Bites’, shows less than 10 minutes (movies cut up into chapters), and designed specifically to watch on mobile. And yes you have to pay for it, looks like $4.99/mo w/ads and $7.99 w/o. They’ve got a bunch of new content for launch with some stars like Chrissy Teigen, Kevin Hart, Idris Elba, Naomi Watts, and Steven Spielberg. I didn’t highlight the new crop of shows in particular but they of course have a free trial if you want to dabble before committing, I’ll pass at least for now.

If I could encourage you to watch one show this week it would be Bojack Horseman which I wrapped the series finale last week to satisfying end, though I’m tempted to start the whole thing all over again. I also wrapped up the very good Sorry for Your Loss on Facebook Watch, which just was unfortunately not a network that’s going to continue with its original scripted series. And the season finale of The Good Fight which I still find as a great balance of drama, characters, politics, and ridiculousness that only the Kings could bring, and yes I’m just paying for the episodes because I don’t subscribe to CBSAA. This week will bring some wall-to-wall coverage of super Tuesday and a few other things. I also seem to have missed the Party of Five remake on Freeform which has its finale this week, am I missing anything? I do find myself still tied to The Bold Type and Everything’s Going to Be Okay on Freeform shows but otherwise have given most things a pass.

Hillary (Hulu) Series Premiere, Friday 3/6 – I don’t normally feature unscripted series but intrigued by subject and good buzz about this look at both her and the extenuating place in politics.

Nothing much compelling coming up and I’ve been playing a little catchup. I enjoyed the second season of Shrill which though lead by the great Aidy Bryant really has a great supporting cast. I also finally finished Downton Abbey and (spoiler alert for those who care) though everyone ended up a bit too resolved and happy in this end I forgive it after all the years of turmoil but I’m actually hesitant to crack their lives back open with the movie. I also caught up to the latest live episodes of Schitts Creek in a series that grows on you as the characters grow within their oddball community.

For the latest new shows I’m still hanging on a bit for Katy Keene (which is likely a little too cute for me to hang in there), Briarpatch (which is odd enough for me to check out one more), and Tommy & Lincoln Rhyme (which are both pretty generic but Edie Falco/Russell Hornsby and cast might give it more life). I’ve also been very much enjoying Everything’s Going To Be Okay which is sweet and quirky with a cast that makes it compelling and Dare Me that’s got just enough serious drama to keep me involved in the cheerleading shenanigans.

Year of the Rabbit (IFC) Series Premiere, Wednesday 2/19, 10:30pm – This comedy/suspense series follows detective Rabbit and his cohorts investigating murders, initial reports not terrible but not glowing.

This week I wrapped up the final season of Santa Clarita Diet, which I have to say am so bummed didn’t find a greater audience for this super fun cast and humorous undead tales, the second season of YOU, which didn’t play as well as the first but still has some good/bad vibes going for it, as well as the series finale of The Good Place which capped off an amazing series quite well. These weeks with programming around the State of the Union, Democratic Debates and the Oscars there’s still a good amount of new stuff.

Katy Keene (CW) Series Premiere, Thursday 2/6, 8pm – I keep passing on these various CW comics but will tune in to check out 4 gals (comic based), including Lucy Hale as Keene, chasing their dreams in NYC, early buzz is optimistic.
Indebted (NBC) Series Premiere, Thursday 2/6, 9:30 – Familiar faces Fran Drescher and Steven Weber are parents who have to move back in with their son, pilot not getting great buzz but a good pedigree could grow characters.

Tommy (CBS) Series Premiere, Thursday 2/6, 10pm – Edie Falco starts as the first female Chief of Police in LA, early looks appear somewhat average but Falco and team could elevate.

My Holo Love (Net) Series Premiere, Friday 2/7 – Love with a humanlike hologram in this Korean romantic drama.
Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet (Ap+) Series Premiere, Friday 2/7 – Always Sunny’s Rob McElhenney is co creator (with Charlie Day) and stars as creative director in this look at the running of a video game, early buzz is good and already renewed for another season.
Cherish the Day (OWN) Series Premiere, Tuesday 2/11, 8pm – A look at specific days in a couple’s relationship from Ava DuVernay.
For Life (ABC) Series Premiere, Tuesday 2/11, 10pm – A fictional drama about a prisoner who becomes a lawyer to help himself and others.

Utopia Falls (Hulu) Series Premiere, Friday 2/14 – A teen sci-fi uncovering the history of music, or something.
Duncanville (Fox) Series Premiere, Sunday 2/16, 8:30pm – A new animated family joins the lineup.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (NBC) Sunday 2/16, 9pm – This isn’t technically the premiere but that episode snuck in so long ago you might have missed this potentially cute series with some magical realism of Jane Levy as a girl who hears folks innermost thoughts through song.

I wrapped my Psych watch this week, it’s not an amazing tv show but perfectly fun and bingeable. From last week’s options I was intrigued enough by 68 Whiskey, Bone Collector, and Everything’s Gonna Be Okay to give them another show. I’m also excited for the return of The Bold Type on Thursday, the (90 minute) series finale of The Good Place as well as the final half of the final season of Bojack, as well as intrigued to see where Shrill goes which I enjoyed.

If I had to recommend one new show this week it would be giving Nora from Queens a shot, I’d be happy to add a new comedy to the roster.

Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector

With a lapse in new tv I’ve managed to wrap up the latest season on streaming for Ramy (great elements), Tuca & Bertie (didn’t grab me with its layers like BoJack did), Mindhunter (still good but not as strong for me as the first season), and Glow (enjoyed where they went and the variance of episodes) as well as the series finale of Madam Secretary (fictional political escapism pretty well done). I’m working through the 5th season of Schitts Creek which I won’t hit before the 6th premieres on Tuesday. I’m also super ready for the new season of Ink Master on Tuesday, this theme is ‘Rep Your Region’ with four regional teams.

With not a ton of info on new shows if I were to recommend one show it would be Sex Education (Netflix) which returns for its second season, the first was one of my favorites of 2019 (stay tuned for the full list) great characters and moments.

One Day at a Time (Pop) Promo special, Tuesday 1/7 – With the move to POP for its fourth season here’s a look, this was a good show and I’m glad it got picked up after Netflix dropped the ball.
FBI: Most Wanted (CBS) Series Premiere, Tuesday 1/7 – A spin-off from the FBI show, which never grabbed me.
AJ and the Queen (Net) Series Premiere, Friday 1/10 – RuPaul stars as as drag queen who travels in her RV with an 11-year old stowaway, sure.

Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector (NBC) Series Premiere, Friday 1/10 – Based on the book (don’t ask me why they didn’t just call it ‘The Bone Collector’), after being paralyzed by a serial killer this former forensic criminologist is dragged back in, these always have potential of being decent procedurals.
The Outsider (HBO) Series Premiere, Sunday 1/12 – Based on Stephen King’s novel, and investigation takes an irregular turn into the supernatural.
Sanditon (PBS) Series Premiere, Sunday 1/12 – An adaptation of Jane Austen’s unfinished novel.
The New Pope (HBO) Series Premiere, Monday 1/13 – A sequel to ‘The Young Pope.’
68 Whiskey (Para) Series Premiere, Wednesday 1/15 – Army medics in Afghanistan in this comedy-drama, might be worth a look.
Everything’s Gonna Be Okay (Free) Series Premiere, Thursday 1/16 – Humor to deal with the myriad of problems that deal with a brother being responsible for his half sisters, this network tends to skew a bit young but might be an interesting mix.
Little America (Apple+) Series Premiere, Friday 1/17 – An anthology series looking at immigrant experiences.
9-1-1: Lone Star (Fox) Series Premiere, Sunday 1/19 – A spin-off of 9-1-1 which never grabbed me, this one focuses on Rob Lowe as a character who moves from NY to Austin with his son.
Avenue 5 (HBO) Series Premiere, Sunday 1/19 – Hugh Laurie stars as a captain of a cruise space ship that comically deals with problems on the way to Saturn.

I’ve managed to wrap up When They See Us which was obviously a compelling story but I wasn’t that blown away by the four part series. Also managed to catch Pen15 and This Way Up both noted on a few best o’ lists and both had moments that I thought really worked, but not sure they’ll make my list. And caught the very quick presentation of season two of Making It that always has a unique creative approach from the contestants. I’ll still plug away at some backlog mostly making sure that I’m catching as many hidden gems before I do my top tv of 2019 list (stay tuned). But also tempted to dive into You which was a very fun diversion on Lifetime last year and picked up some steam on Netflix where season 2 will now live.

A light couple of weeks for new series as we get into the holiday season and gear up with Fall Finales, not sure when that term was introduced but basically it means everyone is taking a long break for the holidays. Gives me more time to catch up on some things as I turn to year end best of lists. I also managed to wrap Big Love which kept the novel topic interesting with its multitude of layers though a bit uneven throughout the years and Catastrophe which was a unique, funny, and terrible look at a couple’s relationship.

I managed to wrap up the series Fleabag (second season of this off comedy even better than the first) and Transparent (some great television throughout the run and while the musical finale wasn’t must see tv it did a decent enough service to the odd tale). And the latest seasons of Goliath (odd but still sort of compelling, I’ll stay tuned for one more final season), Mr Inbetween (the second season leaned further into his brutal ways and worked), and It’s Always Sunny (always manages to find new ways for these terribles to entertain us).

The holiday season brings an odd balance of new, most of which little critical word seems to be available. I did enjoy the first season of reality fares Making It so likely tune back in to that and Project Runway which is back with Christian and Karlie.
