Yay! One of my favorite shows is coming back soon and it can’t get here soon enough. I enjoy this show immensely and it remains severely underrated. Catherine and Peter have reunited and are now trying to mend their highly dysfunctional (and basically fictional) marriage.
Nick Fury Return in Marvel's 'Secret Invasion'
I never thought I’d see Sam Jackson starring in one of these Marvel TV shows, but I guess it’s easy money. This trailer is not good at explaining whatever is going on in this trailer though. It still seems vague and something about Fury’s last fight, etc. Maybe he dies at the end of this? It starts in June.
New Trailer for 'Yellowjackets' Season 2
Looks exciting! I like the show’s ongoing trend of casting former 90’s teen actors as the present day versions of the characters- say hello to Elijah Wood and Lauren Ambrose. This is one of the shows I’ve been looking forward to returning the most.
'Barry' Season 4 Will Be the Last
Man, my spring TV roster is getting overloaded. As usual (i still haven’t made it through my full list of spring shows from last year). But Barry I will keep up with, as it’s one of my favorite shows ever, and hasn’t made a wrong step yet. I’m sad about this being the last season, but I know it’s going to go out on top.
'Schmigadoon!' returns for Season 2
Yay!! I had heard something about this show coming back for a second season, but I didn’t realize it would be so soon! But the show returns for a new installment (with some of the first season cast returning as new characters) in April, with the perfect premise for a sequel based on dark 70’s and 80’s musicals. I can’t wait.
Full Trailer for 'Succession' Season 4
It’s almost here! And turns out it’s the final season after all, which is somewhat sad (I thought it would go five). But I can’t wait to see how it all turns out- will Logan be allowed to lose in the end, or can he ever really be taken down?
Top 10 Shows of 2022
Looking at my movie list I would say that I really only love the top half, while my show list is entirely comprised of series that I truly love and whose seasons this year I would watch again in a heartbeat.
1) BARRY Season 3
Barry’s third season got darker, funnier and was an all around masterpiece of black comedy
2) SEVERANCE Season 1
I don’t love a lot of sci-fi, but the debut season of this Charlie Kaufman-esque mindbender was simply outstanding and hooked me from the outset. Another year before Season 2?! Nooooo…
3) BETTER CALL SAUL Season 6
BCS stuck the landing like I knew it would as Jimmy aka Saul aka Gene met his ultimate fate. Not unsatisfying in the slightest
4) HARLEY QUINN Season 3
Harley Quinn is just so adorably addictive and funny and rewatchable it’s like the TV equivalent (to me) of a bag of cheddar and sour cream ruffles. I can never get enough, and all I want is more, more, more
5) INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Season 1
This gothic, lush, sexy and scary modern adaptation of Anne Rice’s books is enthralling and actually better than what was on the page. Best surprise of the season
6) RESERVATION DOGS Season 2
The second season of this offbeat comedy is even better than the first and never forgets to forge the character relationships in its eccentricity. I hope it keeps going forever
7) THE WHITE LOTUS Season 2
Mike White pulled off the unexpected and turned what could have been an unnecessary extravagance into something essential and perfect
8) SUPERMAN & LOIS Season 2
S&L continues to deliver the goods and is unlike any other CW show in its superior ability to craft a worthwhile narrative arc and still have enjoyable episodic one-offs. This is a version of Superman you’ve not yet seen
9) THE BOYS Season 3
Despite a disappointing finale, the third season of The Boys was humming along better than it had ever been and that last bummer episode won’t take away a spot from it on this list
10) FROZEN PLANET II
Every new entry in this long running series captures more breathtaking footage thanks to ever improving technological advances that make these discoveries possible
HONORABLE MENTIONS: Girls5Eva S2; Stargirl S3; Pam and Tommy; The Bear S1
'Ted Lasso' is Back on March 15th
Yay! The possible last season of Ted Lasso is starting March 15th, and this trailer is a lot more of a teaser than anything else. I wonder how they bring Nate back into the fold.
This show is not a comedy
'Abbott Elementary' and 'The White Lotus' Win at SAG
This show is not a comedy
In TV, the wins were surprising (Jessica Chastain, Sam Elliott) and boring (Jason Bateman again? He won three SAG awards for Ozark? Really? What do you people have against Bob Odenkirk?). And I have to say this again: The Bear is NOT a comedy. It’s not. Jeremy Allen White is not funny on that show at all, because he has no jokes, because there ARE no jokes, because it’s a serious show with zero laugh lines or comedic sequences. Periodt.

'Perry Mason' Gets A Season 2 Trailer
Yay, this show is back! I thought it had a lot of potential in Season 1 if it could just iron out some of its creakiness. Maybe the showrunners of The Knick are exactly what it needs to do that.
