Time flies fast; it’s midway through 2020 already! That means, as usual of this blog at this
point of the year, I want to enumerate and rank (from best to least, in my
opinion) all the TV shows that I watched from January to June. There are actually just a few them, compared
to the quantity of what I had in the previous years. Also, as what I started
last year, I’m no longer including the anime I watched in this list since they
now have their own regular seasonal rankings.
So, without further ado…
Rick and Morty Season 4
Just as the first half of season 4 was enough for it to earn a spot in my last year’s top 10 best TV series, the second half of season 4 is enough
for it to get the mid-year list top spot once again
What We Do in the Shadows Season
2
In my opinion, season 2 is a step
up from the already terrific season 1. I
found the jokes to be more hilarious (I honestly laughed more with season 2
than with season 1) and the play on mythological elements – such as an
Internet troll turning out to be a literal troll, and vampires having ghost
versions of themselves, since technically, their human selves have died – to be
more amusing and clever.
Castlevania Season 3
It couldn’t match the masterpiece quality of season 2, but it’s a strong, dark, outstanding season nonetheless.
Looney Tunes Cartoons Season 1

on it.
Finally caught up with this for its finale. CLICK HERE for my full thoughts
on the show as a whole.
Crash Landing on You
Crash Landing on You
The final, big plot twist is so
cheesy and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
But I have to admit that I found it really moving. I guess I’m a sucker for sentimental turns like that. Still, I think the showrunners could – should
– have done a better job in building it up and selling it. Furthermore, season 3 just doesn’t quite have
that “Westworld” gravitas. Honestly, I’m
getting worried that this is going to turn out into another Game of Thrones. I haven’t given up on it, though.
Legends of Tomorrow Season 5
Legends of Tomorrow Season 5
Sad to see Brandon Routh exit the
show, but Legends of Tomorrow remains
Legends of Tomorrow even without him –
wacky, comic book-y fun. It also really helped that Mona
and Gary weren’t on screen much during season 5.
Arrow Season 8
Ah, the show that just aims to entertain,
and DGAF about logic, suitability, and anything else. Season
4 is probably my favorite season since the first one. But I’m anxious about the storm that’s
definitely going to hit next season, as Betty and Archie are starting to get into an
affair (poor Jughead and Veronica).
Nancy Drew Season 1
Nancy Drew Season 1
The Thirteenth Doctor’s sophomore
season is an improvement, but not that much.
I like the shocking twist of a secret, new incarnation of the Doctor
(played by Jo Martin), and I can’t wait to learn her backstory in the next
season. On the other hand, I have mixed
feelings about the Doctor being revealed as the Timeless Child.
13 Reasons Why Season 4
13 Reasons Why Season 4
The first season was arguably good. But this series got trashier with
each new season. Still, it somehow kept me watching it till the end, for – I won’t deny it – I found aspects of it genuinely entertaining and touching.
The most boring and forgettable season
to date.
In this episode, titled “Grid
Connection”, the current Power Rangers team joins forces with three dino-themed
Rangers teams – Mighty Morphin’ (the OG), Dino Thunder, and Dino Charge. It’s nothing great, really. I only decided to watch it since it features
the return of Jason Lee Scott as the Red Ranger (his teammates didn’t unmask).
