Having trouble conjuring up groundhog in your mind?
TV check-in 001 2019
Okay, moving forward I will give weekly update only in this section, combining them all rather than separate them. If there is a new show, I will include them there in the appropriate column.
It's plainly obvious now that that won't be possible but I'll try to post as frequent as I can.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season Two [Netflix]
TV-14 | 1h | Drama, Fantasy, Horror | IMDb: 7.7/10
I am really glad that Netflix is up for anything that they would adapt the comic series as faithfully as they can, with many occult and demon stuff aplenty while Sabrina that we once knew for Melissa Joan Hart's upbeat take is no more and replaced by Kiernan Shipka's more spunky and tragic portrayal considering the world she is in. The world building is second to none and while they turn up a notch for the sophomore season for the better (at least for me), I can't wait to see where she and her friends would go next for the third, especially because of where they ended before.

Legion Season Three [FX]
TV-MA | 1h | Action, Comic, Drama, Sci-Fi | IMDb: 8.3/10
Noah Hawley is a unique television auteur and this couldn't be any more true with his adaptation of Legion and you can see it from the very first frame of the series until the very end of third season. Playing with the power of the mind is a bit hazy concept to grasp but if you've seen the show, you know that every episode is a trippy mind-trip with mind-bending visuals and complex theory that tie into the protagonist's journey throughout. My words would not do them any justice so you just have to see it for yourself! Dan Stevens is the undisputed MVP!

Sex Education Season One [Netflix]
TV-MA | 45min | Comedy, Drama, Sex | IMDb [8.3/10]
Sex education is important and you are naive if you think that the youth nowadays is not exposed to it the most so if we can't get an effective education at school, this show is actually not a bad alternative at all. Of course the teen antics and teenage drama is part and parcel of this kind of show but it just make us more comfortable with this 'taboo' subject and be more open with it. Give it a go and maybe you'll like it. Not for the fainthearted for sure.

Russian Doll Season One [Netflix]
TV-MA | 30min | Adventure, Comedy | IMDb: 7.9/10
When I first tune in, I didn't expect it to be more than just a television version of Groundhog Day but after a couple of episodes in, now I knew where this show is going. There's a lot of deaths and a lot of laughs and while this might be a morbid combination, I can safely guarantee that the overall tone is perfect, and I can thank Natasha Lyonne for carrying the premise on her capable shoulders with her irresistible charms and dirty mouth of course.
