One of my goals this year was to finally sit down and watch some of the TV shows that I’ve been skipping over. With news that the IATSE workers are planning to strike on October 18th (which I wholeheartedly support and you should too), I’m getting prepared for the potential long gap between completed episodes of my shows, and new ones.
I’ve had a few shows on my “To Watch” list, and I guess this potential break will give me the opportunity to watch (or rewatch, in the case of some).
Of course, I guess I absolutely have to include One Chicago right at the start of this list. I’m still dragging my way through Season Four of Fire and Season Three of P.D. It’s nothing to do with the shows, really, as to why it’s taking me so long. I can clearly point to the fact that I’m doing a lot of writing right now, because of both Blogtober and Whumptober. I’m trying to stay ahead as much as possible. (I’ll discuss it more in the season wrap up video, but… I’m not a fan of Med. Like at all.)
Another show that I absolutely have to watch is S.W.A.T. Many of the people on the 118 Discord have been talking up this show. I watched the first… three episodes, but stopped because of One Chicago. It was interesting enough to hold my interest, so I’m planning on going back to finish at least the first season, if not more.
I’ve also planned on finally finishing Shadowhunters. I watched the first two seasons around the time the aired, but I stepped away from the fandom. It’s been on my list to return to, and this would be the best time to do so. Of course, I’m mostly watching for Malec, but no one said I didn’t have standards.
Because the second season is finally coming out on October 22nd, I’m absolutely planning on watching Locke and Key. It’s a supernatural show based off a comic book on Netflix, and it caught my eye last year enough that I watched the entire first season in one night. I do need to rewatch season one, but I’m okay with that. It has a decently written plot, and the characters are interesting enough to give it a watch.
I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit this, but I never finished Loki. I love the actors and I think the premise is amazing… but something just didn’t catch me. Mom and I watched the first two episodes as they released, and just stopped. I think we may just sit down and blast through the rest of them, but I wasn’t feeling it. I do want to watch them, because I can’t watch Black Widow or Shang-Chi until I have. (It’s a thing. Have to watch in order. Can’t help it.)
Thinking about Netflix, I’m one of those people who never actually watched Stranger Things. I’m not a fan of horror normally. I did watch the first few episodes a couple of years ago, and liked it well enough, but then we moved and I never got back to it. I’m adding it to the list as a maybe.
There’s one other show that I’m considering, but I doubt I’ll finish it past a certain death. Into the Badlands was Oliver Stark’s first television performance for American audiences as a series regular, and apparently he is really good for the season and a half that he was on the show (he dies in 2×04? I think? Thanks, Youtube.). I’ll probably give it a bit of a watch one night.
… Looking back at this list, I’m insane. Good thing winter is coming… Of course, I’m basically writing off December. But that’s a discussion for another day.
Until next time!
Thank you for sharing!
