Hi Everyone!
Here are some shows I’ve been watching lately. I think that a lot of shows I’ve watched should’ve been mini series because how many times can things repeat? For example, How to Get Away With Murder, The 100, The Last Ship, etc.
If you read my post on Movies & Shows – Faves of 2017 & Most Anticipated for 2018, you’ll know that I had a list of shows to watch:
- The Crown
- Big Little Lies
- The Handmaid’s Tale
- The Alienist
- Altered Carbon
- Dark
- Travelers
- The Good Doctor
- Tell Me A Story
I have watched 6 of the shows on the list since that last post and I saw the first episode of The Good Doctor; I just haven’t gotten around to finishing the first season.

The Crown – 3 seasons aired
STATUS: RENEWED
I have yet to start the third season starring Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham-Carter.
Big Little Lies – 2 seasons aired
STATUS: ENDED
I can see how Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgard won all those awards, but I don’t know if I liked this that much. I ended up watching the second season. I liked the first season better.
The Handmaid’s Tale – 3 seasons aired
STATUS: RENEWED
I thought the first season was the best season.
The Alienist – 1 season
STATUS: COMPLETED (A sequel series was ordered and it will be based on the follow-up novel. The first season wrapped everything up because I think they were originally planning only one season).
It was an interesting mini series, but I was expecting more from it.
Altered Carbon – 2 season aired
STATUS: UP IN THE AIR (not renewed, not cancelled yet)
The first season was good, it has an interesting concept. It was renewed for a second season with Anthony Mackie, but I haven’t watched it yet.
Westworld – 3rd season currently airing
STATUS: AIRING
I’m going to be honest, I was a bit confused while watching the second season. I’m going to rewatch it before I see the third season.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine – 7th season currently airing
STATUS: RENEWED FOR 8th
I was late to the game. I started watching it when it was on the 5th or 6th season.
12 Monkeys – 4 seasons
STATUS: ENDED
I really like time travel elements in shows and movies. I wish there were more shows that had time travel that are well-executed and have good actors. I wouldn’t say this show has AMAZING acting in it, but it’s one of the few time travel ones that has a good plot and decent acting.
The Bold Type – 4th season currently airing; on a mid-season break
STATUS: RENEWED
I really love this show.
Shows that wrapped up this season:
Quantico – 3 seasons
I think the first season was the best season. The original showrunner was replaced in the third season and it really changed the series. In the first two seasons, there were plots that lasted for the whole season. In the third season, they changed it to episodic plots and then had an arc for the last few episodes. The show was cancelled after they had filmed the end of the season, so you don’t really get closure.
The Originals – 5 seasons
I was disappointed by the 5th season and the series finale. I won’t be watching the spinoff, Legacies.
Shades of Blue – 3 seasons
I didn’t really like the ending of this show.
12 Monkeys – 4 seasons
I enjoyed this show.
Once Upon A Time – 7 seasons
This should’ve ended a while ago, but they definitely should’ve ended the show after the sixth season when most of the main characters left.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – 4 seasons
While I love Tina Fey, both this show and 30 Rock were both not my cup of tea.
Shows that I think should end after next season. As much as I like these shows, they’ve run for too long:
- Criminal Minds – 15 seasons (ended)
- The 100 – 6 seasons aired (7th will be the last, airing soon)
- Agents of SHIELD – 6 seasons aired (7th will be the last)
- How to Get Away with Murder- 6 seasons (ending)
- Arrow- 8 seasons (ended)
- 13 Reasons Why – 3 seasons aired (4th will be the last) – I didn’t watch the 3rd season
Shows I stopped watching:
- Suits – ended after 9 seasons
- I stopped watching after season 3
- New Girl – ended after 7 seasons
- I didn’t watch the last two seasons
Shows that are ending this season (2018/2019 season):
- The Big Bang Theory – ending after 12 seasons
- iZombie – ending after 5 seasons
- Jane the Virgin – ending after 5 seasons
- The Last Ship – ending after 5 seasons
- Game of Thrones – ending after 8 seasons
What shows have you been watching?
Love,
