Last year was a bit disjointed when it comes to television shows. The corona virus shut down most productions along with the rest of the world back in March, leaving the 2019-2020 season to end abruptly and causing the 2020-2021 season to roll out late, if at all. On the other hand, it also caused me to be home full time since March, giving me plenty of time to catch up on streaming shows I may have missed or that were newly released. Since we cover the network and cable shows that I watch elsewhere, let’s take a look at the 23 seasons of shows I streamed on various platforms this year.
Away Season 1 (Netflix)
Hillary Swank plays an astronaut who leaves her family behind on Earth to captain the first manned mission to Mars.
Blindspot Seasons 4 & 5 (Hulu)
I had fallen a bit behind on this NBC show that wrapped up last summer so I combined what episodes I still had on the DVR with Hulu to burn through the final two seasons.
Bosch Season 1 (Amazon Prime)
Based on the book series by Michael Connelly, I watched the first of six seasons last fall.
Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina Part 3 (Netflix)
The latest installment of the darker interpretation of Archie Comics character is probably the only show I had watched pre-pandemic.
DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5 (Netflix)
I had only watched the first episode of the season pre-pandemic, which was the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover, as it aired, so I combined what was on my DVR with Netflix to burn through the season quickly.
Dead To Me Seasons 1 & 2 (Netflix)
Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini get entwined in each other’s lives after killing each other’s husbands.
The Flash Season 6 (Netflix)
Like most of the DC shows, I hit pause after the Crisis crossover and before the season ended early, using my DVR and Netflix to catch up.
The Flight Attendant Season 1 (HBO Max)
Kaley Cuoco returns as a flight attendant with drinking issues who finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation.
Lost In Space Season 1 (Netflix)
The remake of the 60s classic came out a few years back, but I never got to it until my December vacation.
Never Have I Ever Season 1 (Netflix)
A comedy about a high school aged Indian girl fighting against her traditional family while wanting to be a “normal” teen.
Ozark Season 3 (Netflix)
The latest installment of the money laundering family in Missouri and their dealings with the Mexican drug cartels.
The Queen’s Gambit (Netflix)
A young girl becomes a chess prodigy after becoming an orphan and eventually becomes one of the top players in the world.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Seasons 1 – 7 (Netflix)
I had always meant to go back and watch this show. I even bought the first season on DVD at some point, but I never got around to it until this summer, when I worked my way through all seven seasons.
Supergirl Season 5 (Netflix)
See the two CW series above and apply the same logic here, although this was the first of the three that I watched.
Tiger King (Netflix)
The sensation that kept most of the US occupied during the early days of the pandemic.
Utopia Season 1 (Amazon Prime)
The latest from former author Gillian Flynn features a group of obsessed comic book fans who find out that their conspiracy theories about their favorite book are true.
The Wilds Season 1 (Amazon Prime)
A weirdly interesting cross between Lost, Cabin In The Woods, and Lord Of The Flies.
