I have a bad habit of starting a show, loving it and then never getting past the first few episodes. Leaving it to be unwatched forever. In my media related new years resolutions, I’m attempting to break that habit. Quality over quantity (ex: watching all seasons of a bad show thinking somehow it will get better.)

But I at least plan to finish these ones that I know I enjoyed at some point and then making a full master list of the others. This might contain spoilers.

The Uncanny Counter

A young man, So Mun, gets tasked with helping a group of Counters – people who can exorcise demons – in their journey towards avenging a fallen friend. In that journey, he starts to learn more about his newfound powers and how he might be able to see his deceased parents again.

Had finished season one and loved it, even read the beginning of the accompanying manga. But when I started the second season, I couldn’t get past the second episode and waited for the rest of the episodes to come out before continuing. It’s been three months, I haven’t gone back to it. So Mun and Do Ha-Na are my favorite characters but the season was heading towards more trauma for them and I wasn’t prepared for that.

9-1-1

Comedic and intense procedural drama showing lives of first responders such as firefighters, dispatchers, and police officers.

I started watching this over the summer, and had made it all the way to season four before acknowledging I can never escape spoilers. So I watched season seven and part of season eight around the same time. Which was dumb because I understand so little of what is happening. Yet that didn’t stop me and I will do it again.

Agents of SHIELD

After the events of The Avengers [2012]. This follows Agent Coulson and his team finding, evaluating, and often protecting or fighting people or items with power.

I have watched this show twice, once when it was first airing, and the second just recently. But when I get to the last two seasons, something just shifts and I can’t get through it. The plotlines with time travel, Kree spaceships, and characters dying multiple times to the point where you know they’ll come back. It’s just repetitive and I normally like that, but every time I’m tempted to quit.

Chloe Bennett exists, so I have to keep watching.

Soy Luna

Luna Valente, just recently moved with her parents to a new job as in-home chefs for a rich family. And in trying to find her place in the city, becomes a part of the local roller derby as well as making enemies with the rich families grandaughter.

It has been almost nine years since the show first aired and it scares me. It has 220 episodes across three seasons. Which can be manageable to move through and yet I haven’t been able to finish a drama of this size since Violetta 2015. Some cast members from Violetta are actually in Son Luna though so that’s an incentive.

In reading a ton of books and mostly watching movies, I have absolutely no idea what my taste in shows are. But I’m determined to figure it out. Other shows on my starter list of uncompleted series are: Outer Banks, Gangnam B-Side, Only Murders in the Building, Heartstopper, and the Acolyte. Wish me Luck
