TV Diet

 

About three years ago, I listed the shows and movies I'd watched over the past three years, from Scandal in 2016 to You in 2019.  I guess it's time to do this again then.  This time I'll provide a grade, as well as commentary as warranted.  In alphabetical order:

Altered Carbon S2 8 x 45 min. B.

Better Call Saul S1-4 30 x 45 min. A.

Black Mirror S5 3 x 65 min. B.

Blacklist S6 22 x 43 min. B.

Breaking Bad S1-5 62 x 47 min. A.

Collateral S1 4 x 60 min. D. Unsatisfying ending.

Dark S2-3 16 x 55 min. B.

Designated Survivor S1-3 53 x 43 min A. Digging "24" right now, so I guess that makes me a Kiefer Sutherland fan.

El Camino 2hr. C.

Get Out 2 hr. A.

Glitch S1-3 18 x 54 min. B.

Heroes S1-4 77 x 45 min. A.

Homecoming S1 10x30min. D. Unsatisfying ending.

How To Get Away With Murder S5-6 30 x 43 min. B.

In the Shadow of the Moon 2hr. C.

Jessica Jones S3 13 x 50 min. C.

Lost S1-6 123 x 43 min. A.

Mile 22 2 hr. D.

Mindhunter S2 9 x 60 min. B.

Old Guard 2 hr. D.

Queen's Gambit S1 7 x 60 min. B.

Selma 2 hr. A.

Stranger Things 3 8 x 55 min. A.

The I Land S1 7 x 40 min. D.

The OA S1-2 16 x 60 min. B.

The Wire S1-5 60 x 60min. A+. It's likely that well before I get through all my wish-list I'll be watching this again.

Travelers S1-3 34 × 45min. A.

Umbrella Academy S1 10 x 50 min. B.

Us 2 hr. A.

V Wars S1 10 x 40 min. F. Truly awful.

Walking Dead S1-9 131 x 42 min. A.

I didn't do the math exactly but I think it works out to about 550-600 hours of viewing over the three-year period, or about 3 1/2 hours a week.  So many more shows to go, both ones from 5 to 15 years ago as well as ones hitting more recently.  Not sure I'll be able to up my viewing time much more for the foreseeable future, so it's likely the backlog will only grow over time.  Something to look forward to in retirement!
