New TV this Week


As declared yesterday, yes I have been quiet this week on here, sorry. It's been a big start to 2020, I have already seen a number of films which I have been reviewing (generally on the day of viewing) whilst also continuing my love of TV consumption.

This week we have seen some new shows on the block. Katy Keene a spin off of Riverdale, The Sinner (in it's third season) whilst Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens & Station 19 (also in it's third season).

Some US shows are still on mid season break, so it's time for some interesting new fillers come on board.

Katy Keene commencing it's first season had a brief introduction on Riverdale this week, then aired it's first very good episode.

Riverdale has been a bit of a car crash of late, so it was refreshing to see Josie (not with the Pussycat dolls) to get launched into New York. The new characters on Katy Keene are loads of fun and diverse. Jorge/Ginger Lopez, K.O and Josie all share a pad and their lives in New York.

There is a lot of music, Broadway and fashion, I'm surprised the show did not attract more viewers for week one.

In it's third week/episode Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens is a super fun ride. Awkwafina is outstanding, however it's her grandma, Lori Tan Chinn who steals most scenes she is in.

The Sinner with Matt Bomer in 2020 returns for it's third season with a new mystery unfolding. Bill Pullman returns for this eight episode anthology series.

Also in it's third season is Grey's Anatomy fire fighting companion series Station 19. We were warned from the outset there would be some powerful deaths, by episode two we already had one. Episode three we had a funeral.

It's been a big week for TV, in Australia however poor MKR this week being beaten even by SBS, time to give this show a rest Channel Seven. A warm welcome back too to MAFS, helping Australians get more stupid by the episode, thanks Channel Nine.
