As I said in my last post, fiction plays a huge part in my life. To honor the love I have for TV shows and movies, I've decided to make a list of what I watched in 2017. I'm going to try and divide it by geography, because I feel that engaging in fiction is a fantastic (and relatively cheap) way to travel.
Someone reading this might be saying, Well what about books?
I've been a bookworm all my life, but sadly this year, I hit a bit of a...what's the word? Lag? Bad luck? I think I read much less than I usually do. Now things are better because I'm taking the safe route and rereading something I already love (The Dark Tower series and related books). With that I've spent time in NYC, Arizona, Las Vegas, Maine, California, other places around the USA, the Territories, and whatever world the Gunslinger is from. Shit. I don't know.
I also spent some time in Japan and another alternate universe via Haruki Murakami.
I read maybe a few other books. I don't think they left much of an impression on me.
Now onto the TV shows and movies...mostly TV shows, because I'm not a huge movie fan anymore. I don't often watch them.
Note: For TV shows, I watch one season at a time. If I remember what seasons I watched this year, I'll mark it down.
Second Note: Shows I loved are colored blue. Shows I didn't like are colored red.

Yet another note: It was easy to mark things red, but not so easy to mark things blue. There's a lot of things I'm unsure about. For example, every Canadian show would be maybe blue, but probably less blue than my blues from other countries. And I didn't want to mark EVERYTHING blue in Canada. So I marked down nothing blue. I'm not sure if that makes any sense.
Happy New Year!!
