That looks pretty damn good, and if you throw in "Wind River", "High & Hell Water" and /or "Sicario" in the title you can do a thread.
Considering how the film goes, I can see why.

I know it doesn't technically count because it premiers tonight, Feb. 28th, but Survivor is one I'll be watching. I liked it a lot when it was new, and watched for years, then took a good decade or longer break and got back into it 3 or 4 years ago.
I look forward to the new seasons.

New watches:
- Jessica Jones S2
Will check out:
- The Terror
- Krypton
- Siren
- Collateral
- Borderliner
- Life Sentence
- Edha
- Requiem
- The Mechanism
- Barry
Add to backlog:
- The Americans S6
- Atlanta S2
Can't say there's too much to watch. This month will largely be catching up to old seasons. Will definitely watch Jessica Jones. And I'll definitely check out the pilots for The Terror, Krypton, Siren and Collateral.

Damn, forgot Atlanta and Hap and Leonard are coming back. I'm behind on both.
Definitely:
The Americans
Barry
Silicon Valley
Trust
Interested in:
Collateral
The Dangerous Book for Boys
The Terror
+ random foreign shows if word of mouth is good
Delaying Heathers now sure is an interesting choice since they already put the pilot out after the shooting. Like, were they cynically assuming everyone would have put Parkland by now?

Cautiously optimistic since Archer has previously had some good fun in this type of setting.
Interesting... sadly I still haven't seen Wind River or Hell or High Water.
Heart of Archness is one of my favorite arcs, so hopefully they can recapture some of that mojo.
lol. Dude, you listed a dozen shows. It is one month of the year!

I forgot :(
Gotta watch the first two episodes together~
Remedy that immediately
Gotta be honest. Jessica Jones is the only one I'll watch. I'll leave the rest to the backlog and get to it when I got time for it. But I can see myself checking out both The Terror and Krypton right away.
Oh shit... you are in for some fantastic movies. Watch both, now!
I'm all for it, bring it on I say!
This week is all about finishing The Expanse S1, The Good Place S2 and Legion S1 before I really put my teeth into The Americans and just binge watch it all the way through.
i'm currently watching:
modern family: it's garbage, i just can't stop watching a series i've followed for so long, hope it gets canceled
big bang theory: it's utter garbage, i just can't stop watching a series i've followed for so long, hope it gets canceled
portlandia: it's been a pretty good season
rupaul's drag race all stars: not the biggest fan of this season
the real housewives of atlanta and beverly hills: i'm not even sorry, i love this franchise
project runway all stars: a very good season, very talented group of designers
i think that's all i watch

I'm looking forward to both of these too.
Oh man, definitely watch Hell or High Water. It's so good. The best Chris is amazing in it.

I'm dropping Jessica Jones due to the...less than enthusiastic reviews for season two. Not enough time in the day.
Sadly I lack the ability to drop shows, even when I should. Once I start something I'm almost always in for the duration.

Breaking that habit is one of the best things I've ever done. Join me!
Definitely watching:
Jessica Jones
The Last Man on Earth
Silicon Valley
Barry
The Terror
Suits
The Americans
Bite Club
May check out depending on impressions:
Collateral
Krypton
Trust
The Dangerous Book for Boys
Thank you for making these threads, Ratsky. It's so much easier to track shows I want to watch from these rather than depending on those annoying slideshows on industry sites.

i have this same exact problem which is why i just don't start new shows for a few years now, i've never been able to drop a series midway, no matter how bad it got. the one exception being empire. that one i just couldn't do it after i finished season 3. a sane person would have stopped after the first few episodes of season 2.
Has anyone watched The Looming Tower (from Hulu) yet? Can't see it out and about yet to view myself, but can't wait due to the reviews.

Currently watching Seven Seconds on Netflix and need to get back to The Alienist and Altered Carbon.
Definitely going to watch Atlanta.
And Ill probably give The Terror a shot as well. Not sure about anything else at the moment to be honest, Ill wait for reviews/reactions from others before I jump in too much I guess.
There are just so many damn shows out there now with all of the networks that it is impossible to keep up.
Will definitely be watching Season 2 of the Handmaid's Tale when it releases soon but I guess that is April.

In order of interest:
Love
Silicon Valley
Atlanta
I'll watch The Good Fight once all episodes are up in May.
This is nice. I was expecting it to be Tampa Bay. I love Hard Knocks but couldnt stand the Tampa Bay Bucs and assumed they'd be the focus of Amazon's show.

Will watch these returning shows:
Atlanta
The Good Fight
Hap and Leonard
Jessica Jones (I haven't watched the other Marvel shows which I intended to, but I liked S1 so I think I'll just watch S2 as well)
Sneaky Pete (Eh... not sure I liked this enough to go back or not)
Billions
The Americans
Scream
Will probably try these new shows (plus some I overlooked probably):
Life Sentence
Barry
Splitting Up Together
The Terror
Atlanta
The Good Fight
Hap and Leonard
Jessica Jones (I haven't watched the other Marvel shows which I intended to, but I liked S1 so I think I'll just watch S2 as well)

Yes I know I might be like the one person watching this show, especially since RatskyWatsky is still too afraid to watch The Good Wife in preperation. But dammit The Good Fight is as the name implies good, and you should watch it with me.

Netflix ruining my social life by releasing Jessica Jones S2 and Love S3 within 24 hours of each other LMAO
So glad the show is coming back soon, still my favorite comedy on Fox.
Continue watch from last month:
- Counterpart, Best show I've watched in 2018.
- High Maintenance, This show just gets better and better.
- Somebody Feed Phil, This show works, because he is so earnest.
- Here and Now, I have no idea how I feel about this show yet. Since it is Alan Ball I will let the season play out. It does try a little too hard.
March Shows:
- Ugly Delicious (loved the first episode, but the second not so much)
- Atlanta (duh!)
- Love
- The Americans (excited for final season)
- Silicon Valley
I am not sure if I am going to watch Jessica Jones. The first season I liked sometimes, but other times it was a miserable grind to watch. Still I had hope for the season, but after reading Sepinwall's review I am not sure if it is worth my time.
With Taylor Sheridan as show runner, there is no show I am looking forward to more.

I dropped it after I read Sepinwall's review. I'm completely over shows that drag out their 6 episodes-worth-of-story across 13 episodes. Please hire non shitty writers Marvel-Netflix.
Eh... I'll say this, you radically underestimate what is dictated to those writers from the top at Marvel and Netflix.
OP
OP
Suffice to say the writers are very much not left to their own devices. Marvel knows what they want from these shows and what beats each season should hit. It's a relatively inhibited creative environment.
It would probably be fair to compare it to a line of comic books with very significant editorial oversight and mandates.
OP
OP
So the slow as fuck stretched out garbage storytelling is a mandate from Marvel themselves? Why on Earth would they want their shows to be that way?
That show just randomly stopped in Nov I think. I almost forgot it was still on.
You just don't understand true art Ratsky.
Do I need to put the /s?
OP
OP
The critical tide has pretty much turned against them though, so they have to be aware that things...could be improved. Heck, even the enthusiast reception has started to sour a bit.
It seems they would look at the critical reception of Legion, and realize that giving a good show runner freedom is a good thing.
Not my idea, JJ could benefit from standalone episodes. It tries too hard to be a 13 hour movie which the writers don't have the chops for. Of course this is an issue with several shows (even really good shows), and an issue caused by dropping all episodes at one time. Serialized television works best when it remembers it is a television series first. I would love to see Stranger Things remember that in season 3.

finished altered carbon, loved it.
Want more cyberpunk!
Saw first episode of stranger things, enjoyed it.
Started homeland, up to season 2 ep 4. (i have previously seen seasons 1 + 2 when they first aired but then didnt continue for some reason, going to watch them all now)
Still watching supernatural season 13.
Will probably rewatch LOST at some point.

Reminded me I am also in the middle of The Wire rewatch. It is my first time watching since it originally aired. I just finished season 1, and you know what? It holds up even better than I dreamed. Still my GOAT.
