Shows I watched in 2024
and my thoughts on them…
Shameless 4/5
I loved this show I’ve always liked dramedy’s and shameless was the perfect mix between dark humor and good writing. The characters were all interesting and charming in their own way. I like shows that are family centered/ focus on family dynamic since my family is fairly small i find big families super interesting. I didn’t like the last couples seasons because of course their main character left the show but overall it was very good and i would say it’s my comfort show
Fleabag 5/5
Love love loved this show. I still think this is one of the funniest shows ever. I love phoebe waller bridge and her writing is always fantastic. Her sense of humor is one of a kind and it kinda gives me succession vibes. Loved Andrew Scott in this as well fleabag and the priest will remain iconic forever i fear. i definitely will watch this show again whenever i want a laugh or whenever i want a cry.
Ted Lasso 5/5
This show is so wholesome and funny and a perfect pick me up. It remains lighthearted without overlooking struggles within the characters. It had a hallmark movie / this is us vibe to it. It tugs at your heart strings and makes you cry and smile at the same time I don’t know how to explain it but it’s just such a nice show.
This Is Going To Hurt 4/5
I haven’t seen many people talk about this show which was so sad to find out because it is SO good. It’s about a male OB/GYN and his resident working in an understaffed and underfunded hospital. It portrays the decline of their mental health as they loose patients and as they struggle to balance their work life and at home life. It’s a short series but I highly recommend it, I watched it in like 2 days.
Daisy Jones and the Six 5/5
A perfect mix of two things I love. Romance and Music. So of course I immediately became obsessed with this series. I’ve always liked Sam Claflin but he really said I’m an ACTOR with this show. The soundtrack is SOO FUCKING GOOD. I still have songs of theirs in my playlists.
The Artful Dodger 4/5
This show is everything I ever would want in a show it’s an oliver twist spinoff set in 1850s australia about Jack Dawson trying to leave his criminal life behind and pursue surgery. I loved the romance most of all because it is so cliche and sometimes I just want a cute traditional romance. I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for something different than what they usually watch and who likes a chaotic plot.
Peaky Blinders 5/5
I can’t express with words how much I loved this show. This kickstarted my love for cillian murphy I genuinely can’t believe I waited this long to watch this brilliant show ummmm. Yeah I have nothing else to say except that it’s a perfect show and I’m excited for the film.
Love & Death 3/5
Elizabeth olsen shined in this series I lovedddd to see her portray a crazy lady in crisis. I never noticed how amazing of an actor lizzie really is until I watched this show. The storytelling was a little slow in my opinion and I didn’t love how it was told. Overall the show is made well and it was interesting to watch just not paced the best and at times I would get bored.
Game of Thrones 5/5
I finally watched game of thrones and i was not disappointed. it definitely lives up to the hype. it’s just fantasy magic and i love it. and ofc the ending was terrible.
House of the Dragon 5/5
I love Olivia Cooke. I love Emma D’arcy. I love this show with all my heart. My favorite part is the relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra as they ARE the stars of the show and their relationship IS the focal point. I can’t wait for season 3
Interview With The Vampire 5/5
This show does not compare to the movie or the books it is 1000x better. There has always been so much material to play with and the movie just didn’t do any of it, and i’m so glad that the show writers did. I love that the first season was set in new orleans it added so much charm and character to the show. I love vampire romance so so much and this show does it so well. the characters have so many layers and so much personality I couldn’t be happier. I think this show is one of the best of all time.
Baby Reindeer 5/5
Every actor/actress deserved all the awards oh my goddd. This show was outstanding. Richard Gadd is not only brave for writing this and putting it out there but also for acting in it. Him acting in it added so much meaning to this show and I’m happy he could do it. It unfortunately gave a platform and gave attention to his stalker which she should never ever have again. but overall this show was a masterpiece and is so meaningful.
Fellow Travelers 4/5
Jonathan Bailey. Jonathan Baileyyyyyy. What can I even say. Bro is magical. This show hit all the heartstrings. It was also a history lesson because I didn’t know half of the shit that they talked about in this show and I should have. I love the message this show tells and I love that the romance didn’t overshadow the message. Everyone in this show is so talented and I would encourage anyone to watch this series.
One Day 5/5
UGHHHHH this show was so fucking heart breaking and so well done. I love a romanceeeeee I will never not watch a romance. I never saw the film and I don’t care because the show was better I don’t need to watch the film the show was better (jk) but not rlly. Ambika Mod is so talented I love her so much and I hope to see much much more of her.
White Lotus 4/5
Binged in one week. This show is so entertaining I don’t know if it’s laced with crack or something but I couldn’t stop watching. It’s so funny and it almost has telenovela/soap opera level drama I love it. I initially started watching this because I saw that Aubrey Plaza was in the second season but I stayed for Jennifer Coolidge because she was hilarious.
Alias Grace 3/5
I don’t know what the hell inspired this freaky show but it’s very well done i must say. I don’t love a narration in a tv series but It wasn’t as overbearing as other shows i’ve watched. the narration was important to the story though because it’s about a woman telling her story. I didn’t love the freaky ass doctor patient relationship going on. I did like how it leaned into the supernatural but I wish it leaned into it moreee. this show had one foot in supernatural territory and the other in psychological thriller and i wish they blurred the line a little more. other than that this show was really interesting to follow and the visuals were amazingggg.
Abbot Elementary 4/5
I actually haven’t finished this show but I wanted to include it because it’s so talked about rn. It’s definitely not exactly my sense of humor but it still gets me giggling every once in a while. it’s got that ted lasso charm to it just because it’s so innocent. I like the fact that it’s majority African American cast and that’s part of the reason why I enjoy it so much. It’s rare to find a show that isn’t flooded with white people so best believe i’m gonna continue watching abbot elementary.
