Pathetic and disappointing answer alert: I’m not watching anything right now. I’m looking for my next television show, actually. There are some shows I should catch up on via Netflix/DVD, like Downton Abbey and maybe Supergirl? Lucifer? I don’t know. I feel this weird reluctance to get invested right now. Accepting suggestions, though, if anyone is offering. <3
Right this
might not be your thing, and that’s totally cool but you said you were accepting suggestions 🙂
I love lots of other shows but hands down the best show on TV right now – well once it comes back from the summer hiatus – is Agents of Shield.
Why is it so brilliant?
1) It doesn’t take itself too seriously. The jokes and lines are amazing, I laugh every time I watch it. It is pure entertainment.
2) The character development is incredible and it’s consistent. Things happen and there are consequences. Most TV is so episodic these days, quality storytelling is rare.
3) Hand in hand with the character development, is how they’ve developed the show ‘ships’. Fitzsimmons have fully done best friends to lovers and I swear all the other characters on the show ship them (I certainly do), the lines are swoonworthy. Coulson and May aren’t together yet but they are heading there. I never thought I would ever think they could be more than friends but they’ve developed it so gradually and naturally it just makes sense.
4) Every time I watch this show I love it more. Usually that doesn’t happen, usually the first season is the best – not true here. The first season started off a bit slow (but still great) and it has gone from strength to strength since.
I know there are four seasons already out there BUT there’s also a six month hiatus before season five, so catching up isn’t impossible. Ok that’s my pitch 🙂
