My Top 10 Continued TV Shows of 2019

Kat Impossible30 Comments

I hope this post title isn’t too confusing, but I wasn’t quite sure what else to call it. Basically, yesterday was all about shows that were released in 2019 and this post is about my favourite shows that continued on with their x-amount of season. Hope you enjoy!

10. 9-1-1 (Season 3)

I don’t want to call this show a guilty pleasure, because that’s not really what it feels like to me. But compared to the other shows on this or yesterday’s list, the storytelling is definitely far less high-brow and more focused on drama, drama, drama and pour some over the top drama on that. But the tsunami episodes were absolutely heart shattering and I will remain a Buddie shipper forever, even if I strongly believe they are just queer baiting the viewers with that one.

9. Marvel’s Runaways (Season 3)

I already touched a little bit upon how much I enjoyed this last season. My favourite out of all the kids on the show is probably Gert, so I am grateful for how the show ended and even if it wasn’t a perfect season (or series as a whole), I am glad for what we got. I will miss all my superhero kiddos (Cloak and Dagger included).

8. Stranger Things (Season 3)

I do not like redemption through death storylines, but saying any more than that would be such a massive spoiler in case you haven’t watched it yet. For some reason this wasn’t my favourite season, but it’s cool to see everyone grow up and the addition of Robin was one of the smartest moves ever. Ice cream squad for the win!

7. Elite (Season 2)

I wasn’t entirely sure where this season would go, since the murder mystery, despite not being entirely solved, was more or less over. They somehow managed to incorporate a decently suspenseful supplicant story though and offered some more exposition on certain characters. I really dig where we left things and hope the wait for the new season won’t be too long.

6. Sorry for Your Loss (Season 2)

I don’t think anyone expected a Facebook Watch series on this list? But, in all honesty, I feel like Sorry for Your Loss is totally being slept on. It’s such an amazing story about grief and how everyone handles it differently and how earth shattering revelations can be about a person you thought you knew and who can’t give answers anymore. Also, if you want to support Kelly Marie Tran after they basically cut her out of Star Wars, this is your chance!

5. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Season 3)

Thinking back, I never thought I would enjoy this show and now I am always just eagerly awaiting the new season. While I would like to think that Midge is smarter than the poor judgment on material she has shown in the season finale, I believe she still has so much more ahead of her. Also, my heart breaks every time Lenny Bruce gets involved in an episode, so I definitely need them to continue covering several more years in that universe and maybe changing Lenny’s fate? Wouldn’t mind that at all. (And poor Benjamin. He was done dirty too.)

4. You (Season 2)

I LIKED the new season. I had my doubts about repeating the concept from season 1 etc., but it stayed original and it stayed suspenseful and creepy. Still in no way a fan of Joe (especially since he didn’t react a certain way I wanted him to after a revelation), but Penn is killing it in that particular role.

3. The OA (Season 2)

Similar to Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, I will never forgive Netflix for cancelling The OA before its time. The final episode had such a beautifully juicy twist and I will be forever sad we were denied the remainder of the story. I would seriously crowdfund the heck out of this if there was any way I could watch the rest, but alas, the world wasn’t ready for this show. Still, it’s 100% worth watching if you have the time and attention span. This one is not made for casual viewing.

2. Dark (Season 2)

Speaking of beautiful twists! I love Dark for a couple of reasons, but the end of Season 2 was a game changer and I cannot wait to see where they take us. Also, I lowkey appreciate that next season will be the last one, giving it a proper ending and all that jazz.

1. Fleabag (Season 2)

I don’t necessarily think that Fleabag is for everyone, but it sure is something! In my eyes, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a genius and has created a character that is both, easy to judge and hard not to love, but she just up and went with adding the Hot Priest to the mix and things got wild. One day, I am going to buy the Fleabag scriptures and I am going to study the heck out of those scripts.

Honorable Mentions

As per usual, I am nowhere near at capacity with all the great things I have watched, so here are some more shows for your consideration:

  • Veronica Mars (Season 4)
  • Charmed (Season 2)
  • Lost in Space (Season 2)
  • Friends from College (Season 2)
  • Legacies (Season 2)
  • Glow (Season 3)
  • Derry Girls (Season 2)
  • The Rain (Season 2)
  • Plan Coeur (Season 2)
  • Baby (Season 2)
  • Good Trouble (Season 2)
  • The Bold Type (Season 3)
  • The Man in the High Castle (Season 4)
  • The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 3)

So, that’s all on TV shows! Have you watched some of these as well? Would you have ranked them similarly? Let’s chat before tomorrow’s final post on my top 10 movies.

    • It’s fair to put You in the 2019 category. I think it released December 26, 2018 or something and most people (unlike me) probably had better things to do than binge it during the holidays.

  6. I have to agree with Stranger Things. It was good, but also not ny favourite season. The kids are going to be SO big in the next season 😭 You was good, but I kinda also preferred season one.

    I recently watched The Handmaid’s Tale for the first time and it’s SO good. That ending had me ugly crying!

    • I won’t even believe they are teenagers in the upcoming seasons, they are so tall and grown up already haha

      The Handmaid’s Tale is SO intense! I binged the first two seasons back in the day and it scrambled my brain to the point where I wanted to say stuff like “under his eye” and “may the fruit open”

  7. So I clearly FAIL at watching shows, I haven’t watched any of your top 10 shows haha. I did watch Plan Coeur though in your honorable mentions (I love this one) and you know I LOVE The Bold Type and can’t wait for it to come back! ❤ I still haven't watched Veronica Mars. I know what's happening in these episodes and… to be honest, I don't want to watch that happening? Knowing it already breaks my heart haha.

    • I wouldn’t blame you for not watching Veronica Mars, they aren’t even continuing the show now anyway. I feel like that was just something to piss off fans and nothing else. Without another season it’s just such a waste.
      I could see you enjoying I am sorry for your loss if you are in the mood for something a little more sad. It’s easy to watch on facebook and very short in episodes. Also Derry Girls, it’s really funny.

  8. Stranger Things would have most definitely made my list as well, I loved the new season and thought the redeemable death was sooo shocking and good. I definitely cried about it. The part with dustin singing? I play that clip on youtube soooo much.

    It’s my fave.

    I’m loving these lists, they are giving me so many shows and movies to check out! x
