#fbi most wanted

I decided to do a bit of a wrap up of this crazy crazy year we have managed to get through, each day for the rest of the year will go over some of my show’s and ship’s from throughout the year.

Now for the shows that survived 2020, and made an impact along the way, in a year that was all over the place in real life but gave us a chance to catch up on new shows, and re connect with old. While I am still waiting for some to return, some that haven’t even aired at all this year, I am thankful that any have come back recently.

Greys Anatomy: this show continues to bring the good and the bad, it’s about the only show that has ever been able to get me super invested in a ship, to disliking the ship and then shipping the people with others. I am all for McWidow, I really enjoyed Link/Amelia stuff, I actually don’t mind the Jo/Jackson storyline, and honestly, I was/am rooting for Teddy/Tom. But the thing that I have liked most about greys this year, is the way it is showing the pandemic, the way it is showing it all in a way that hits hard because of the truths, and shows us a small insight into how much the amazing people fighting this are giving up, how hard it is on them, and shedding light on the uglier side of things like how many more black people it is killing – something that for me, living in Australia, it isn’t something we hear a lot about, we haven’t had the same level of deaths or cases, but I guess if we had, it could be harder to watch this new season.

Lucifer:for a show that went from being cancelled, to picked up from another network, and then to having a final season, to have another added, it truly got some luck on its side. Everything about this show is just so well done, and never in a million years did I think I would get so invested in a show about the devil! There is a reason it just doesn’t seem to be able to be let go, and this season showed it brilliantly. The Deckerstar ship might be so important and pivotal to the show, and yes, them finally getting together without any secrets was so great, but so are all the other characters, from Maze, to Trixie to Ella, it’s hard to imagine the show without the whole ensemble, and I cannot wait for the rest of this season.

Magnum PI: this show has consistently been at the top of my watch list since it started, and although I didn’t overly like the ending of the season at the start of the year, I think the new season is getting back to the groove it had made for itself, and I am very excited to how this season will go. This show is such an odd little group of people, who somehow work, and definitely helps the nice cars on the show. I feel there has been a lot of growth this year with Miggy, but I do hope they don’t keep drawing it out too much, this isn’t just the shipper in me talking, but I for one think that they have been going a pretty steady speed with them and without a plausible reason, if they don’t get together this season/early next, it’s going to start to be too drawn out. Also, stop bringing in more sideline stories for newer characters, and give the main group more, like Rick & Kumu.

Prodigal Son: there was something about this show and it’s characters that drew me in instantly, I was so terrified that like a lot of the shows that do that, that this would get cancelled, and the longer they drew the renewal confirmation on, the more I was worried for it’s safety, but in one of the few good things to come out of 2020, somehow it pulled through (and starts back soon!). I love the characters, and their struggles, there isn’t many shows that I actually like and am invested in all the main’s but somehow even the likes of Jessica (who did annoy me to start with) and Edrisa (same) grew on me quickly. There is something about the dark humour of this show, and it’s portrayal of mental illness and murders that kind of reminds me of Hannibal – in a good way. But the icing on the cake for this show is Brightwell, a ship I cannot wait to see where it goes, it’s been a while for a good fashioned slowburn that is actually slowburn because it needs to be – these too are a little bit too messed up at current, but they will get there.

Honourable mentions go to; Brooklyn nine-nine – Jake and Amy, need I say more, this show tackles everything it can well and without losing its comedic edge, FBI/FBI most wanted – probably the best procedurals I’ve watched in a long time, superstore – as someone how has worked retail, and within the pandemic, this show is showing it all, Legends of tomorrow – the forgotten arrowverse show that cops a lot of flak, but has been my favourite for a long time, even if they probably caused all the issues in 2020, private eyes – this little Canadian show is a bit of a favourite of mine, I stumbled across it one day and so glad that it is back on my screens, and the flight attendant - the short series that somehow made me almost shipping a ship where one of them is dead, oh if only he wasn’t murdered in the first episode and the premise of the whole show.

Up next tomorrow will be the ships of 2020 for me!
