Okay, so I really thought Timeless was cute and all, but then my DVR got full and I realized I just didn't care enough about the show to keep it. Like, I was never going to get back around to catching up with it.
Same thing with Scream Queens. The first season was so much fun, but after a couple episodes of the second season, I realized I was sort of tired of it. I wish they had all new characters instead of extending the story of the first season's characters. I felt done with them.
Was enjoying Designated Survivor but . . . somehow lost track of it as well.
With so much content out there, I'm simply having to get more and more selective about what I watch. I can't just kinda-sorta like a show. I have to really like it to want to make the time.
Also, I'm finding I'd rather watch more mindless stuff than anything that requires so much work on my part. I'm tired at the end of the day. My brain is mush. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Tiny House Hunters are undemanding. Even 24: Legacy is just so much fluff.
Then again, I'm loving Legion so far, so not all my shows have to be easy on the mind. I'm willing to put the effort in for well-written stuff that fully engages me.
So what have I been watching? Um . . .
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (streaming on Netflix)
Elementary (CBS)
Legion (FX)
24: Legacy (FOX)
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
And when they're on:
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (FOX)
Tiny House Hunters (HGTV)
Documentary Now! (IFC)
Looking forward to:
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix)
Fargo (FX)
And I'll be watching Game of Thrones when it's back, too.
What do you watch? What have you given up on? Is there anything I'm missing that I should absolutely try?

It seems a bunch of shows have slipped off my to-watch list too. I watch Legion and Supernatural. I still watch The Walking Dead, but I'm falling out of sorts with it. I don't know. It needs to do something different. I finished watching season 3 of Alone, and I started on Broadchurch. (Yes, I know I'm behind on that!) I have The Expanse sitting on my DVR, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I'm looking forward to Fargo and The Game of Thrones too. Plus iZombie and Archer coming in April.
Oh yes! Forgot to mention how excited I am for Broadchurch! (And for Chris Chibnall to take over Doctor Who. Maybe it'll be watchable again.)
