2019 Year-In-Review: TV I Watched
Jan. 2nd, 2020 10:38 amMuch of what I watched this year was, again, on Netflix. I also watched a few Hulu shows and saw a whopping six movies in a theater. (...four were superhero movies, one was a Star War.)
Things that stood out included:
Cartoons: I watched three seasons of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, two seasons of Disenchantment, and two seasons of The Dragon Prince. I finished out Voltron: Legendary Defender and Star vs. The Forces of Evil. I caught up on Steven Universe and watched The Movie. And the Netflix Love, Death & Robots collection was fun.
Superheroes: I watched a season each of: DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, The Flash, Black Lightning, and Marvel’s Jessica Jones. I also watched the first seasons of The Umbrella Academy and Doom Patrol, both which kinda qualify.
Comedy: I rewatched the first two seasons of The Good Place, watched the third season and caught up to current with the fourth. I watched another season of Brooklyn 99. I watched all three seasons of One Day At A Time and the first seasons of Russian Doll and Dollface.
Medieval Fantasy: Jethrien and I watched the last two seasons of Game of Thrones. Then I watched both seasons of Galavant, which are much more fun.
I watched virtually no sci-fi tv this year and relatively little “serious” media. There’s been a lot of “I want to be entertained because the world sucks.” I suspect in 2020 I’ll continue watching all of the superhero shows and whichever comedy shows and cartoons get additional seasons. Beyond that, it’ll likely depend where my moods take me and if I end up with a Disney+ subscription before the year is out.
(ARR spent much of his TV time this year on Youtube videos of people playing Minecraft and on Pokemon cartoons. He watched less TV than in previous years because of his improved ability to read and his greater interest in long-form video games.)
