I think I might make this a tradition.
Speaking of, here is my 2017 list and my 2020 list.
Oh! I didn't realize I skipped two years until just now.
Anyway...here is my list divided my geography (setting not filming). Some stuff I'm listing twice if it took place significantly in multiple places.
Blue font means I especially loved the show or movie. Though lack of blue doesn't mean a lack of love...at the time. Sometimes I will love a show when I see it but then later my enthusiasm fades.
Red font means I didn't like it.
UNITED STATES
Death to 2020
The Good Witch
Cobra Kai
The Fosters
Shameless
WandaVision (this show was such a home-bridge for us. I started watching it with Jack at our old house. Then we stayed at my parents house for the Texas snow disaster and watched some of the episodes there...in their very fancy home theater. And for the last one or two episodes, I watched with Tim in our temporary-housing-townhouse.
Finding Oahu I hate this show, because a) I felt it didn't live up to Goonies b) They badmouthed Lost! c) This was the last thing we watched on our TV before our electricity went out in the Texas snow disaster.
Lucifer - This is one of the first shows I watched when we moved to the townhouse. I would watch/listen to it on my walks in the amazing, wonderful parks near us. And I think the show made the park even more magical to me. This show helped me to realize, that my brain does these very strong association things. I can remember certain episodes or scenes from shows and remember where in the park I was listening to that episode.
I Care a Lot - We watched this at my parent's house, but I saw only half, because it was past my bedtime.
Law and Order SVU - I just watched one episode...joined in when my parents were watching.
Golden Globes
Nomadland
Ozark- This was Tim's and my first official townhouse show together. (I feel my grammar might be fucked up here but I'm too lazy to give myself a lesson and fix things).
The Vast of Night I had mixed feelings about this one but now when I think back, it gives me a kind of nostalgia feeling.
South Park - just the pandemic episode
Minari
Scandal
Palm Springs
The Sound of Metal
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - I watched season 3. There were two songs I could extremely relate to. I think this show helped me with my own mental health adventures.
BoJack Horseman
Carol-
The Queen's Gambit - Liked this more, before I read about the controversy.
Poor Boy's Game-
The Assistant -
Grey's Anatomy (season 2) - The Neegan scenes were so heartbreaking.
Four Christmases- Watched second half at the lake house. My family had watched the night before when I hadn't been there.
Touch- that show about autism that never mentions autism.
Split
Unbreakable
Glass
Black Jesus
Last Man on Earth
Gilmore Girls - This is another show where I have a strong memory association. I remember walking across a bridge near our townhouse while watching the scene with the school dance.
The Mindy Project
Freaky
The Final Girls-
The Making of WandaVision
Fear the Walking Dead - Who would ever think a zombie show could jump the shark? But somehow, they managed it. Jack had been binge-watching The Walking Dead before we started watching season 5, and a few times I told him that I might actually prefer Fear better. That all changed after we got to the end of the season. Holy shit. But on a positive yet somber note...I think this season achieved the most brilliant, shocking super sad zombie-caused death since Sophia.
Songbird
Invincible-
Mythic Quest-I really want to heart emoji this a ton of times.
Pushing Daisies- I heard so many good things about this show. But it really made me anxious. I mean really. How many times do we accidentally touch the people we are with? Why take that risk? I did like the setting and Kristen Chenoweth. And I liked Ned. I might have even had a tiny twinge of a crush....until we saw Lee Pace in...
Halt and Catch Fire - This was one of a handful of shows that Tim was happily willing to rewatch, because he thought I'd like it too (Ozark and Mythic Quest were two of the others). I grew to at-best sort of like the show. In the end, we both decided to knock Pushing Daisies off our list, and I requested that Tim watch the rest of Halt and Catch Fire on his own (he still had a few episodes left from when he watched it alone). I'm not redding these shows, though. Because...yeah, I developed some kind of weird aversion to Lee Pace. But still...there were aspects of the shows that I liked a lot.
Coda
Greenleaf
Hart of Dixie
Selfless
American Horror Story-We watched Apocalypse and Roanoke. I liked both but liked the latter a little bit better.
This is Us - I had watched season 1 and 2 with Tim. He lost the love, so I watched this one alone. The Vietnam storyline was SO sad.
GirlBoss
Criminal Minds - One of the shows I'm watching now. The show might be a bit guilty in terms of increasing stigma surrounding mental health conditions. But still...I find it interesting and entertaining. One funny thing is Matthew Gray Gubler looked so familar to me. Then I remembered one of my mutual-follower-Instagram-people used to be a huge fangirl for him. I never paid much attention to what she was fan-girling on. I just adored her enthusiasm.
Goliath-
The Mare of Easttown
Everything is Going to be Okay-A show about autism written by an autistic person and starring at least two autistic actors. Mostly funny and awkward. Sometimes touching. I was talking to Tim in the car one day and decided to tell him about the last episode of season 1. Oh! I remember. We were talking about the best ways to be supportive of autistic people. I described how the characters were so beautifully supportive in that episode but then realized also how incredibly sad the episode was. So I'm sitting there telling him what happened, and I started sobbing. So it was really hard for me to talk and get the story out. And Tim's just sitting there so patiently listening.
Now that I think of it, Tim was providing another good example of how to be supportive towards an autistic person.
Midnight Mass- At least I think it's the United States. It was filmed in Canada... I'm not sure if it was supposed to take place in Canada or the U.S. It kind of felt more like Canada.
What's kind of strange is we watched this and it had a particular storyline/theme that I feel I've not seen before. Then a short time later, we watched the Korean show Hellbound, and it had a VERY similar theme/storyline. I feel the universe might be trying to tell me something? Or really not just me personally. Because they're both fairly popular Netflix series. So maybe the universe is sending a message that society, in general, needs to hear.
The Originals - I think I was really into this series a few years ago. But then it took Random.org a shitload of time to reunite me with the show. I still liked it a lot...but I think some of my love faded.
White Lotus- I think this is one of those shows where the love would fade after a few months or even weeks. But we watched it fairly recently, so it's blue for now.
Imperial Dreams
Empire- I just started watching this one today. I'm liking it so far. It reminds me a lot of Succession.
AUSTRALIA
Rake
"Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" - A short film I watched during my failed Charlotte Nicdao post.
Content - I had Tim watch this with me since we both adore Charlotte Nicdao. We loved it but somehow missed the last couple of episodes. I think we meant to watch the rest after Tim returned from out of town but we never got around to it. I blame Tim, because he seems to have this thing about forgetting to continue a TV show he was watching and liking. Well. Yeah. I know. I could have intervened. So I need to take some of the blame.
Now it feels kind of too late.
UK
Doctor Who (this was our 2020-2021 crossover show)
Death to 2020
Coronation Street
Broadchurch
The Man Who Invented Christmas
KOREA
Sweet Home
Hellbound-The little red there is for the creepy CGI baby. But besides that....very good show. (also see: Midnight Mass above)
VIETNAM
This is Us
CHINA
Marco Polo- I was pretty bored. But this show was noteworthy for me, because it's the first time I used the Netflix audio-narrating.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings-
GILLIAD
The Handmaid's Tale
CANADA
Schitt's Creek (I loved this show so much in 2020. I started rewatching it in 2021. My plan was to watch it on the Alexa Echo while I did kitchen chores. But then I got into using my headphones and various audio things while doing chores. And I have been horribly slow with the rewatching. I've been on the 11th episode of the last season for months now. It's like I've put the Schitt family in limbo at that escape room place. Anyway. This show used to be a blue for me, and it still deserves to be blue. It's just instead of giving me happy, warm feelings, it now makes me feel kind of neglectful.
Note: I think there is disagreement about whether the show takes place in Canada or the US. But I'm going to put it in Canada.
The Handmaid's Tale
Kim's Convenience
Being Erica
FRANCE
Things to Come - I think I liked this one more than I loved it...back when I saw it. But now it's giving me these warm nostalgic feelings. For some reason, it makes me feel my childhood Madison and St. Louis days. So I have to blue it.
ITALY
Luca
VARIOUS
The Last Ship (mostly Asia and South America)
Doctor Strange (although now I can't remember where....)
A Gurl's World (watched one episode when doing my failed-never-posted post on Charlotte Nicdao)
NOT EARTH
Doctor Who
NOT OUR UNIVERSE
Loki (But I guess also our universe? I forget. This is not blue not because it's not good but because it's not WandaVision. After seeing WandaVision, I wanted all Marvel stuff to be WandaVision.
Doctor Strange

| This is the area of the park that I loved most and then loved even more after I watched/listened to Lucifer while walking through it. It was the episode where Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and Cain (Tom Welling) pretend to be a couple in the suburban neighborhood. So...it's kind of like I love Lucifer and I love the park. And the combination of the two increased my love for both. |
