What new TV shows are you watching?

There are several new TV shows out this year and it looks like each of the networks got a little more bold in their line-ups which is a nice change.

So, which of these new shows are you watching and hope to see them renewed for a second season?

 

I typically avoid the first season of new TV shows because it seems like every time I like one, it gets cancelled, usually with an unanswered cliff-hanger at the end as the going away present.

I have not had any free time to really watch much TV lately, but I have heard good things about Timeless, so I hope to check it out soon.

 

I was binge watching TV shows long before Netflix and other streaming services came out. I would wait until the seasons came out on DVD and buy them.

Like you, I can't just sit and watch TV. I've never been one to do that. I tend to work on development or design and watch TV on a second or third screen.

 

I used to watch the Walking Dead, but really haven't enjoyed the show for a few years, so I quit watching. You would think when they keep running into regular people as their major threats, they would eventually realize the best strategy would be to build an army of their own and then "borg" everyone they meet. In other words, you join or you die. Instead, they keep losing a person or two every so often, then adding a person or two, while slowly losing what's left of their humanity.

 

I've watched a couple of episodes of Lethal Weapon and it was better than I expected it to be though not something I would watch weekly at this point. It definitely gives you that 1990s feel you got from those kinds of movies though.

 

Oh I think the show is good, it's just not something I would watch weekly. It's more of a "binge a season while I work" TV show for me.

 

What I meant was that I would not watch it from week to week (streaming at some point), not when it aired. I never watch live TV any more other than sports events as there are very few shows I enjoy watching one episode at a time. The last time I watched a new TV show when it actually aired was probably over 15 years ago. I cut the cord (cancelled my satellite service) over 15 years ago and haven't regretted it since.

Basically, I cut the cord before cutting the cord was a thing. People used to be stunned when I told them I didn't have cable or satellite service and some would even follow with, "Did you lose your job?" Of course if you think those reactions were strange you should have seen the reactions of people when I told them I didn't have a home phone number back in the early 1990s (my cell phone has been my home number since then). Of course now, a lot of people use their cells as their main/home number, but I did that long before it was the "in" thing.

I also binge watched most TV shows back then as well by waiting to watch them when their seasons were released on DVD. Now due to Netflix, a lot of people binge watch TV shows.

I should write a book entitled, "What you will be doing in 10-15 years!" and document everything I do differently today than most people
