To qualify for my Watch List every month, the following has to be something that I've watched that's new to me. It doesn't necessarily have to be a current show, but it can't be reruns or rewatches of something I've already seen. So if I'm including it in this list, it means this month is the first time I've watched it. I'll put "DNF" (Did Not Finish) next to anything that I stopped watching and have no immediate plans to finish.


Movies

         *Bullet* None! *Shock*

I was shocked to go back through what I watched this month and realize that it was all television and old movies that I've already seen before. Unless I totally missed something, I don't think I saw any new movies in March, which might be a first for me. I usually always catch one or two, but I guess I was focused on television series this month!


Television

         *Bullet* Cobra Kai (Season 6)
         *Bullet* Formula 1: Drive to Survive (Season 7)
         *Bullet* Long Bright River
         *Bullet* Reacher (Season 3)
         *Bullet* Running Point (Season 1)
         *Bullet* Skeleton Crew
         *Bullet* Suits LA (Season 1)

The only shows I didn't love this month were SUITS LA and LONG BRIGHT RIVER, the former of which I stopped watching after a few episodes, and the latter of which my wife was into but I couldn't tell you a thing about it because I mostly did other stuff while it was on in the background. RUNNING POINT was an okay new series from Mindy Kaling (not as good as THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS), and the third season of REACHER was a worthy addition to the franchise. I'm actually kind of excited because this season is based on the next book in the series I'll be reading after my current one, so I'm excited to do a little compare-and-contrast with a recently-read book and a recently-watched series that it was adapted into.

The final season of COBRA KAI was pretty solid and I thought they did a great job bringing everything together in the final few episodes. It honestly might have been my favorite series any other month of the year, if it weren't for the fact that the new season of FORMULA 1: DRIVE TO SURVIVE also came out this month and I'm currently really into F1 so it was a great season to watch. I'm happy that I'm finally caught up and able to head into the 2025 season with a good understanding of what happened last year (and the several years before that). DRIVE TO SURVIVE would definitely have been my monthly pick on any other month if not for...

SKELETON CREW. It's GOONIES meets TREASURE ISLAND set in the Star Wars universe. Need I say more? This was probably my favorite Star Wars title in the past several years, and my kids loved it too. It perfectly captures that timeless sense of all-ages excitement that you get from the best adventure stories. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes "kids going on an adventure they're not at all prepared for" tales.


TOP PICK:
Skeleton Crew
