I’m getting back on track. S. L. O. W. L. Y. (But I’m probably never going to be able to post about anything immediately after it airs until bitches pay me enough to quit my day job. Just sayin’.) So, here it go (real extra good shit that you need to watch in bold):
December
Watch this shit:
- Captive
Anthology documentary kidnap-y goodness.
- I Like You Just the Way I Am
That chick everyone hated in Angel‘s final season is an actually funny and talented writer. And she’s married to Jason Biggs. This is that.
- Magic Funhouse
A Saturday morning kid’s show on crack.
- The OA
Holy fucking shit is this god damn show amazing.
“To exist is to survive unfair choices.”
That is all.
- Shut Eye
Beyond the psychic veil. (Or is it? … #intrigue)
Meh
(a.k.a. Watch it or don’t, but either way it’s not the greatest ever):
- Delicious
Wasn’t terrible, but definitely didn’t hook me. If you’re into “narrated from beyond the grave”-type shit, that happens to be British and also includes food, then this is your bag.
- Mariah’s World
I mean… it is what it is. If you like reality shows about famous people being famous, here you go.
- Terry Crews Saves Christmas
Cute holiday fun. Even better if you wait to binge it until after the world explodes because dumb assholes couldn’t stand female e-mails.
- The Wall
Guilty Pleasure:
- The Deleted
This utter nonsense is about horny kids who don’t own shirts and apparently escaped a cult because the milk they were served was drugs. And one of them might also be a psychotic robot. Need I say more?
January:
Watch this shit:
- A Series of Unfortunate Events
I was sort of prepared to not be interested in this show, but my husband was all about it, so we watched it together. I was won over, folks. It’s a real good time.
- Beyond
Just your average, wholesome, all-American “aliens are making shit float in the woods” coming-of-age-in-a-12-year-coma story. Definitely worth your time.
- Caraoke Showdown
Musical Cash Cab, hosted by the great Craig Robinson.
- Emerald City
Probably about as dark and realistic a take on Oz that we’ve seen.
- Mary Kills People
Essentially, it’s Dr. Mary Kevorkian. Not the greatest pilot ever, but Caroline Dhavernas is amazing and I trust her choices. So, I’ll keep watching.
- The Mick
Bad Teacher meets Uncle Buck. It has its moments. Three cheers for Carla Jimenez.
- One Day at a Time
Cuban family drama, love, and happiness. Seriously, such a good show.
- Riverdale
Other than it being based on the Archie comics, it’s not really any different from your typical high school drama. Except maybe the murder mystery? Not that it makes it a bad series, mind you. Just don’t expect anything ground breaking is all I’m saying.
- Sneaky Pete
Giovanni Ribisi‘s crazy Scientology-loving-dumbass is an ex-con/future re-con. Not mad at it, but it’s not my new favorite thing.
- Spy in the Wild
Fucking crazy-town first-person point of view of animals in their natural habitats. Some really amazing sights.
- Throwing Shade
If John Oliver is America’s dad and Samantha Bee is America’s mom, then Bryan Safi and Erin Gibson are attempting to be America’s gay uncle and sassy aunt, respectively.
Meh
(a.k.a. You fuckin’ get it, this shit probably sucks):
- Big Fan
“Big fans” have a trivia face-off against celebrities about those celebrities. Unless you’re as big a fan of the celebrity as their stalkers are, the show really won’t mean that much to you.
- Hunted
Truly meh. I tried watching the original UK version before this series, and it got boring real quick. This US version explains just a bit more of how they find these voluntary “fugitives,” but that doesn’t really make it any more interesting.
