TV Watch List 2015

(omg that's a long list. it looks like i watch a ton of TV, but i swear, it's only 1-2 hours a day and not every day (or even every week)! >_>; i don't watch all these shows at the same time. some are on only a couple of months out of the year and don't overlap with the regular Fall/Spring schedule. many are binge-watched later on DVD over summer/winter breaks. it's not as bad as it looks, really!)

*(Shows) are on my to-watch-later-on-DVD-probably list.

Monday

• Supergirl - best new show! all the heroics, heart, & humor of Flash & Superman but w/ female perspectives. what's not to love? finally, a female superhero on TV!
• Jane the Virgin - most delightful & addictive comedy/romance/telenovela/drama
• *(Gotham) (?) - underwhelmed by gritty, macho, violent S1; not sure if i wanna continue. only care about young Bruce (and by extension, Alfred & Selina).

Tuesday

• The Flash - fav new show of 2014! much-needed fun & feelings lacking in Arrow. (Barris OTP)
• iZombie - quirky, smart, funny procedural mixed w/ supernatural action (consolation for Forever being cancelled ;_;)
• Agents of SHIELD - still not as good as S1 but interesting enough to follow (FitzSimmons OTP)
• *(Fresh Off the Boat) - funny & relatable. 1st Asian American TV family in 20 years!

Wednesday

• Arrow - S4 >> S3. excited for Darkh, HIVE, & especially Constantine (not renewed on NBC =/).

Thursday

• How to Get Away with Murder - such compelling, addictive drama & yay, bisexual lead & more LGBT & racial diversity!
• *(Elementary) - consistently smart, fun entertainment.

Friday

• Reign - S3 >>> S2 so far w/ Frary's bittersweet reunion & the addition of Queen Elizabeth. the 1st third of S3 has been perfect Frary again, and omg all the Frary OTP feels are back in full force! T_T (i'm so angry the writers wasted S2, which should have been Frary's 1 glorious year of marriage.) (Frary OTP)

Short Series (couple months a year)

• The 100 - new (drama) obsession! holy geez, the moral dilemmas, the twists, the exquisite angst & all the FEELS. cannot wait for S3 in 2016!! (the story is the most compelling part, but also Bellarke OTP)
• Orphan Black - SO GOOD. wonderful+devastating, intelligent+intense, feminist+progressive, scifi+drama (ditto for The 100). really looking forward to S4!
• Vixen - short animated Arrow-verse spin-off web series. fast-paced action & great intro for an African American female superhero lead (for live-action, too, hopefully).
• Agent Carter - smart, exciting, sometimes lighthearted, sometimes dramatic post-WWII detective/adventure show w/ a kickass, cunning, efficient, & admirable heroine, like a female Indiana Jones series!
• Daredevil - really great Netflix series. well-crafted drama w/ refreshing honesty in a "superhero" drama about a street-level crimefighter. dark & moody w/o Miller-esque machismo, adult themes w/o overused/graphic sex/violence.
• *(Downton Abbey) - still great period drama. sad it's the final season. i'll miss the Dowager and the Crawleys.
• *(Game of Thrones) - haven't watched S5 yet (but got spoiled online). heard it's not as good, but i'm still invested in the fantasy world & its many characters.

Binge-Watch

• Parks and Recreation - new (comedy) obsession! funniest & smartest comedy. alas, over too soon. T_T the show ended earlier this year, but I just started watching a few weeks ago, mostly because of funny gifs on tumblr. now I'm hooked. I love all the characters/cast and the clever, hilarious writing. it's like a funny West Wing that serves as both a fantastic spoof of the problems in government and society and a heartwarming testament to the ideals of government and the best of society. i've finished the whole 7-season series, and I'm so bummed that it's over. I'm going to re-watch the whole thing from the beginning because R jumped in around Season 3, which is when it got really good. (Leslie/Ben OTP <3)
• Roommate (Season 2) - Korean reality show about a house full of celebrities (actors, idols, comedians, all ages) living together. so funny & cute! i really miss the family, esp. the bickering magnae couple. (JackJi OTP IRL)

Coming Soon / Later / Maybe

• DC's Legends of Tomorrow - 2016 Arrow/Flash spin-off, team-up show w/ White Canary, Hawkgirl, Atom, Firestorm, etc. i'm so in.
• Jessica Jones - another gritty Netflix series about a street-level crimefighter, except this time, it's a superheroine (Marvel's 1st)! tonally opposite from Supergirl, so yay, variety & depth of female leads! 
• *(Lucifer) (?) - based on Vertigo comics. not sure (it's a FOX show about Satan in LA), but maybe?
• *(Preacher) (?) - another Vertigo title. notoriously raunchy & sacrilegious. on AMC. idk.
• *(Titans) (?) - still waiting for word on casting/production from TNT. i'd be thrilled if we got Nightwing/Oracle & other fav characters.
