So this is the preview I talked about in my last “watch” piece. I was going to tack this on the end, but it was already a 1000+ word article and I decided to just make these separate things.
So in the preview, I am going to keep it brief and basically just list off shows/movies/music/etc. that are debuting, appearing, or I just found this month and could potentially be on my top 5 list. The preview will never have a set amount of content, but it will always have at least 5 things on it.
Let’s roll.
Batman Vs. Superman
March 25th
Duh. This movie, whether good or bad, is going to grab everyone’s attention. By now, everyone should basically know the plot, but it’s going to involve two of DC comic’s biggest names beating the crap out of each other. I’m excited.
House of Cards, Season 4
March 4th
By now, everyone has at least watched a few episodes of the Netflix original series. The show always grabs headlines just because of the weight it carries, being one of the first big-time streaming shows, but the last season was a bit disappointing. So we’ll see if season 4 can live up to the hype.
10 Cloverfield Lane
March, 11th
A somewhat sequel to Cloverfield (2008). There honestly isn’t much to say about this film, the production has been kept pretty quiet. Nobody even really knew the films’ name until a surprise debut trailer was released back in January. This film has a lot of mystery behind it, similarly to the prequel Cloverfield which should draw some people in alone.

Netflix, February 19th
A Judd Apatow produced show about a “down to earth” couple (says wikipedia). Basically, it’s a very funny and interesting look at dating from both men and women’s’ perspectives. Starring Community’s Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust (who is a co-producer of the show as well), the two seem to find each themselves through each other’s struggles. It’s a cool show with some awesome cast members (I have the biggest celebrity crush on Milana Vayntrub aka AT&T girl)
Daredevil, Season 2
Netflix, March 18th
The long-awaited return of Marvel’s Daredevil. The show is easily the best thing I have seen Marvel do a long time, and that’s not a shot to the comic book giant. The show is just a fantastic example of great tv. The acting, cinematography, the content is all just leagues above any other comic-inspired show right now. Season 2 looks to feature the Punisher and Elektra, which makes me and avid comic readers very stoked.
American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson
FX, Tuesday nights (debuted Feb. 2nd, 2016)
This show recently received the ‘Championship Belt’ by “The Watch” podcasters Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald (find it under the Channel 33 podcast). But the show is easily the best on tv right now, and that’s overlooking a very petite “Juice” played by Cuba Gooding Jr. But the show is full of great acting performances, highlighted by Sarah Paulson and Courtney B. Vance. If you’re not watching this show yet, get caught up because things are about hit the apex of greatness.
