Still my all time favorite tv show
Ridin' through this world

On the devil's path
Until you die

Season 3 was where the show lost me. I hate watched it all the way through to the end though. By the final season there were maybe 2-3 characters I hoped didn't all die in the end.
I watched the first two episodes of BH 902010. I will probably watch the rest but good god what a stupid concept. Fictionalized versions of their real lives. Really?

Yeah, I just absolutely hated it, outside of maybe the final episode - although in retrospect that probably set the tone for everything that followed. I felt like the first two seasons were at least grounded and then it just went off the deep end and there had to be massive casualties every episode that followed. Maybe that's wrong. Of course the original concept rooted in Hamlet meant this could ultimately only go one place. Which has me wondering, is Mayans any good? I had DVR'd the first season, which is now on Hulu and still have it on my watchlist, but never got around to watching any of it.
Here are my final updated rankings for Mr. Slim's personal Top 10 shows of the 2018-19 season*:
* - excludes streaming-exclusive shows
(NR) - Not Previously Ranked
Ranking increase noted in blue
Ranking decrease noted in red
You may notice that there was no change from the last time I updated these rankings. I did finally get around to watching Season 3 of This is Us. In addition, I've also watched off of Season 3 of grown-ish, Season 6 of Brooklyn Nine Nine and the fifth and final season of iZombie, since the last time I updated. None of those shows managed to crack my Top 10.
- Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (-)
- S.W.A.T. (-)
- The Orville (-)
- DC's Legends of Tomorrow (-)
- Brockmire (-)
- The Good Place (-)
- Cloak and Dagger (-)

I watched Mayans, and will watch it again this season. While I enjoyed it, it didn't hit the same way SOA did. SOA broke new ground and any MC-based series that follows will inevitably be compared to the original. The overlap of characters is a tough sell for me but I understand the need to utilize some of the SOA characters, a lot of whom were incredible in their complexity. I'll give Sutter credit for one thing. His characters have depth and flaws and frailties and that always draws me in.
Don’t worry, I still record and watch all old 90210’s on the Pop channel and am ridiculed by my wife constantly for it 
Girl Meets World wasn't a reboot: it was a sequel show about the life of Cory and Topanga's daughter, and her friends. It didn't catch on, arguably, because it tried too hard to shoehorn characters from the old series into it: the Disney Channel crowd that the show was created for was not the least bit interested in all the nostalgia, and adults who found themselves watching didn't care about the lives of the new characters.
I know it's not scripted but anyone watch Songland? I find it fascinating but not in a good way. Also I am curious because I have yet to hear any of these songs on the radio despite kiddo making me listen to pop radio. I would have thought the Jonas Brothers' track would have been on the radio but they dropped another single instead.
Anywho, I watched the Wednesday episode last night before bed and I could swear at least two of the songs I had heard before. I guess that's just how derivative music is these days - and the Katy Perry and Lady Gaga lawsuits seem to prove that, but it was strange to say the least because I could swear I heard the entire hook and lyrics.
Also I am getting old and senile so who knows.

Watched the season premiere of Mayans last night. My only complaint is I had to go back 3 or 4 times to read the subtitles. Guess I should have taken Spanish in high school instead of Latin and French. I've gotten used to multi-tasking while watching TV (meaning part watch, part listening as I fix dinner, etc) and that's just not possible if you don't speak the language they're speaking.

Started watching The Expanse on Prime Video and I'm liking it so far. Only a couple of episodes in.
Watched another episode of The Man in High Castle and while I really want to like this show, I'm still waiting for it to really do something. Anything. No wonder it is so many seasons long - they can't seem to move the story along in any meaningful way. I want to have it show some kind of direction and I'm not really seeing it yet.

Very much enjoyed the Killjoys finale. Not because it was epic, but precisely because it wasn't. Wrapped up the final battle quickly: it was kind of anticlimactic, but it almost had to be. Main characters got satisfying endings, nice "thank you for watching" to the fans. Also, Pree and Gared are #RelationshipGoals.
One minor quibble:

Would like to have seen Johnny fulfill his promise to Calvert, and have them actually showing him reuniting her with her daughter on-screen. They could have easily cut twenty seconds from the post-war party to show that.
