Which TV shows did you start watching in 2018?
Feud, Sharp Objects, Peaky Blinders, Killing Eve, and The Haunting Of Hill House. All brilliant shows that had me totally enthralled <3 I don’t think I said anything about Killing Eve or Peaky Blinders at the time though actually, but I really want to start using my LJ more next year and keep it up to date with what I’m currently watching. I may rewatch some of them next year anyway and talk about them then, these shorter seasons of 8 or so episodes make binge-watching so much easier!
Which TV shows did you let go of in 2018?
I’m not sure if I’ve quit all of them for good or not, but at the moment I don’t have any plans to keep up with iZombie, Empire, Wentworth, Suits, or Doctor Who. It used to be a struggle for me to quit shows that I had been invested in, but there’s so many promising shows being brought out by streaming services now that it makes it really hard to stay motivated for a season of tv that you’re not that excited for, and have to force yourself to keep pushing through episodes. I probably will pick up Suits and Doctor Who again at some point though...
And The Americans and The X-Files both ended this year, as well as the premature cancellation of Daredevil :(
Which TV shows did you mean to get into but didn't in 2018? Why?
The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina was one that I was intrigued by, but then ended up dropping after the fourth episode because I found it all a bit slow. And I ended up dropping out halfway through The Handmaids Tale just because I had problems with my Internet connection, and by the time I was back online again they had already taken episode 205 down 🙄 I’m hopefully going to catch up on that sometime though if C4 ever get it back up!
Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2019?
Too many! I just renewed my Amazon Prime and they have quite a few interesting shows. At the moment Runaways, Homecoming, Castle Rock, The Good Fight, Lucifer, and Person Of Interest are all on my watch list. Ooh and seasons 1-12 of Supernatural are on there as well I recently discovered, so I want this to finally be the year for me to catch up with seasons 10-12. And I noticed they have Buffy in HD, so I’m really tempted to have a Buffy rewatch this year as well. I know that fans hate the changes and how the lighting has been messed up etc, but truthfully I can’t deny that I find that clear picture super tempting when I’m skimming through season 2 episodes to admire the difference. Willow running through the woods in Phases say, or Buffy and Spike’s confrontation in the darkened hallways in School Hard, WOW it all looks soooo much clearer than the grainy and fuzzy old video tape kind of quality that I have on my DVDs.
And with Netflix I’m interested in checking out the new Black Mirror episode, You, Maniac, The Alienist, The Crown, and the second season of The Sinner
And I’m thinking of checking out the first couple of episodes of The Perfectionists which is the follow-up to Pretty Little Lies, but I’m not sure if it’s going to be airing in the U.K. or not? Fingers crossed that Netflix pick it up!
Which TV show impressed you least in 2018?
iZombie got pretty boring and ridiculous with how radically the brains change Liv’s personality now, I dropped out early in season 4
Which TV show do you think you might let go of in 2019 unless things significantly improve?
Well I kind of already did lol with the shows that weren’t holding my attention. Otherwise I consider myself to be currently following The Good Place, The Big Bang Theory, Black Mirror, Veronica Mars, Big Little Lies, Mindhunters, The Handmaids Tale, Killing Eve, The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel, and Peaky Blinders, and right now I have no interest in quitting any of them
Which TV shows do you think you’ll never let go of no matter how crappy they get?
The X-Files honestly, just so long as a revival brings back both Mulder and Scully, I am there 😳😳
Your fandom boyfriend of the year?
As ever I seem to have a thing for the evil characters, so umm Thomas Shelby from Peaky Blinders
Your fandom girlfriend of the year?
And Villanelle from Killing Eve
Your favorite film you watched this year?
I haven’t watched a lot of movies this year at all really, but the one to make the biggest impression on me was probably I, Tonya
Your favorite book read this year?
My Year In Books I’m pleased that I more than met my target with 35 out of 30 books this year, and The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is the one that stands out the most. It’s about a bisexual teenage Lord in the 1700’s and all of his exploits on his Grand Tour Of Europe, all while dealing with a crush on his best friend Percy. Monty’s narration is just really fun, and it’s super shippy too, it felt a bit like reading a favourite fanfic in book form XD
I also loved Monsters of the Week: The Complete Critical Companion to The X-Files, that gives you a complete overview of the entire series up to season 11, and reviews all of the episodes and movies
Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
I really like Take That’s new album, Odyssey, love those guys <3
Your favorite TV show(s) of the year?
Sharp Objects, Peaky Blinders, Killing Eve, and The Haunting Of Hill House
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
Losing Daredevil. It’s even more frustrating when season 3 was so strong, it was clearly setting up Bullseye for the following season, and there was just no justifiable reason to cancel it. I was really hoping to see Elektra again too, and get some closure with her and Matt :(
Your biggest squee moment of the year?
Veronica Mars returning for a new miniseries!!!
The most missed of your old fandoms?
Maybe Hannibal? It’s starting to hit me that it’s probably not going to be coming for any more at this point, and I was quite hopeful last year when Bryan Fuller was talking about them now having the rights to Clarice, having talks etc, but that was well over a year ago now...There still hasn’t been any progress that we’ve heard of, so I’ll keep my hopes up for a surprise announcement still, but I’m not holding my breath :sighs:
And Happy New Year, I hope that everyone who is celebrating has a good one :D
