I do this kind of thing on Letterboxd to help me keep track of the shows of the year. This is subject to change, but also subject to lots of love for television :). It's also fun because we have a broad idea of which movies are coming this year, but television is so "close to the vest" and "market at the last second" that, you know, who knows? Could we have Succession? Maybe! Let's end that drought!
