Top 10 Favorite NEW TV Dramas Of 2018… Part 1

This year was full of amazing new TV Programs for all of us to watch and enjoy.  When thinking about what my favorite new shows were that started in 2018 just so many great ones come to mind.  There were some that were “Comedies”.  There were some that were “Dramas”.  There were some that were “Mini- Series or Limited Series” events.  Many shows of every category were there to make 2018 a great year for Television.

Shorter vs. Longer TV Seasons…. The Argument to Both

It’s that moment.  That moment when your favorite TV show has finally returned after a long hiatus.  You are soooooo excited to see once again your favorite characters on your favorite show.  You go to watch it and…..  You feel completely lost.  Oh ugh.

Girlboss, Oh Girlboss…… Thoughts on the One Season Only Show That Was “Girlboss”……..

Okay, I like to watch shows that sometimes are ones that I like to refer to as “One Season Only”. Meaning shows that received in some cases that “all too soon cancellation pink slip” and were not given the time to grow and maybe “get there” creatively. I’ve learned from watching enough TV (somehow just saying that sentence I get a little bummed, but any who….) that given some time any “just eh, yeah it’s okay” show can go to “OMG! UM, YES! THIS SHOW…… I LOVE IT!” Well, I might be just a little on the dramatic side there (per usual), but you get what I mean.

There once was a show on HBO called “The Leftovers”….

People say all the time that we are living in the golden age of television. And it’s completely the truth. There are literally, like A LOT, of new and returning shows premiering each and every single week now. Some shows, even as critically acclaimed as they may be, sometimes go unnoticed. And fall into that category of “great underrated shows”.

Such as in the case, with the now over show that was “The Leftovers” on HBO. Adapted from Tom Perrotta’s novel of the same name, this TV gem was seriously the absolute best existential drama since Six Feet Under. The Leftovers, like Six Feet Under, was able to deal with the daily struggle it is of just getting by sometimes.

It’s May TV Fans….. Cancellations Happening Everywhere

It’s May, so TV fans everywhere, know what that means. TV cancellations are here. It doesn’t matter whether it is a new show or a seasoned one. There’s a chance that your favorite show is in danger of getting that dreaded cancellation notice.  This time of the year in May, as with any other year, the major television networks hold what are referred to as “The Up-Fronts”. This is the time when the major networks unveil the new line-up of shows for the upcoming fall season. It’s in this time, that the networks show the new shows that got picked up, as well as returning favorites that got that shiny golden ticket of a show renewal. It’s also at this point, where shows that have been considered “on the bubble” might not get that golden ticket of renewal. Instead, a show might receive the news of a “dreaded cancellation notice”.

TV Series Finales Are Tricky….But There’s One Show That Got It Just Right!

Series finales for television shows are super tricky to pull off sometimes. A show that has had several seasons under its belt, with its followers of fans, has a lot to live up to. Fans expect and hope for a good ending to a show that they have come to love after so many years, or at the very least are curious to see how it all ends.
