With the end of Game of Thrones, I needed something new to watch on the TV. Or, maybe, multiple things.
Anyhoo, here’s my current weekly project. Each weekday at 6PM Eastern/5 Central, a new write up will appear covering one episode apiece until either I lose interest or the show ends, whichever comes first.
Here is your guide to each show.
Maniac on Mondays
Two messed up people maybe find each other in a futuristic drug trial in this weird sci-fi mini-series from Netflix. Find the coverage here.
American Horror Story on Tuesdays
It’s horror anthology series from FX that is, well, set in America. It’s really weird so far. Find the coverage here.
Orphan Black on Wednesdays
The BBC sci-fi show that worked off a simple concept (human clones find each other) before delving deep into multiple conspiracies surrounding who made the clones and what is killing them off. Brilliant lead actress Tatiana Maslany really knocks it out of the metaphorical park with this one by playing multiple characters each with a distinctive personality of her own. Coverage can be found here.
Merlin on Thursdays
A young wizard comes to Camelot to embrace his destiny…whether he want to or not! The BBC fantasy series retells a familiar story in an unfamiliar way. Find the coverage here.
Castle Rock on Fridays
Everybody has a combined fictional universe these days. Why not Stephen King? Well, someone used his work to inspire a series set in his favorite fictional small Maine town. Find the coverage here.
And, of course, The Simpsons every weekday at noon central.
I mean, I can’t possibly finish this particular project. I’ll quit sooner or later, right? Right? Oh well. It is The Simpsons, and everyone should know what they’re all about by this point.
Or maybe Doctor Who at noon central?
Well, when The Simpsons isn’t available, then we’ll get some Doctor Who.
TV show coverage that is finished or on hiatus has to go somewhere.
