chuckroFirst and foremost, this year I watched a lot of Star Trek! I watched 24 seasons of various shows and 11 movies; and 7 of those seasons of TV were Star Trek. (That’s first two seasons of Strange New Worlds, two seasons of Lower Decks, and re-watching the first three seasons of The Next Generation for the first time in decades.)
Other things that stood out included:
Cartoons: Delicious In Dungeon was a surprise fun anime crossing a D&D pastiche with a ridiculous cooking show pastiche. My Adventures With Superman remained cute; Harley Quinn remained funny; The Dragon Prince could have ended but still has to stretch out for one more season.
Superheroes: The second season of Loki was solid and Agatha All Along with finally a worthy sequel to WandaVision; but Secret Invasion was forgettable. Doom Patrol and Umbrella Academy both ended well. Marvel’s Legion was weird but interesting, at least for a little while.
Comedy: We Might Regret This had an interesting concept but the writer/producer/lead character was too close to it. Girls5Eva was fun and I may watch other seasons. What We Do in the Shadows had a solid season 5 but I think the fact that it’s ending doesn’t upset me much. Liberty Cabbage, by the folks who made The Gamers, was an attempt at geeky sketch comedy that only somewhat worked.
Sci-Fi/Fantasy: I actually quite liked the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender and thought 3 Body Problem was decently adapted as well. And, y’know, I watched so much Star Trek and really enjoyed pretty much all of it.
2025 will see the end of The Dragon Prince, What We Do in the Shadows, and Superman & Lois. And I’m already watching more Star Trek: In addition to everything I’m rewatching, there’s three more seasons of Discovery we haven’t watched and the final season of Lower Decks.
(ARR mostly watched the entirety of both the new Garfield show and the 90s Garfield and Friends on repeat.)
