To Be Watched: May 2023

May is the month of bank holidays and I’m really going to use them to my advantage. By this I mean I’m going to (attempt) to sit and do nothing but watch TV. Which probably sounds ridiculous to some of you, but I’m not great at doing nothing, so I need time off.

Star Wars Visions Season 2 – Disney+

I really enjoyed the first season of Visions and I’m hoping to like the next one. I’m a big fan of anime/animations and having ones about Star Wars is even better. The first season had some really cool animation styles so I can’t wait to see what they’ve done this time.

Synopsis: Star Wars anthology series that will see some of the world’s best anime creators bring their talent to this beloved universe.

Demon Slayer Season 3 – Crunchyroll

I’m not fully caught up on Demon Slayer yet as I was very late to the party, but I absolutely love it. There’s no way it’s going to replace Attack on Titan as my favourite anime, but it could be a close second or third (it’s in competition with Sword Art Online). It’s super fun and I really enjoy the fight scenes. I’ll probably spend one day bingeing a bunch of episodes because they aren’t very long.

Synopsis: A family is attacked by demons and only two members survive – Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko, who is turning into a demon slowly. Tanjiro sets out to become a demon slayer to avenge his family and cure his sister.

XO, Kitty Season 1 – Netflix

I’m probably a bit too excited for this as someone who absolutely is not a teen anymore. I adore the To All the Boys films and a spin off show sounds right up my street. The actor who plays Kitty was one of my favourites in the films, so I’m glad she’s getting her own time to shine. I feel like this will be another show that I sit and binge in one day, but I don’t know how long the episodes are yet.

Synopsis: Kitty, the youngest of the Covey sisters, embarks on a quest to find true love.

90210 (2009) – Prime Video

So, apparently this is coming to Prime in May and when I say I was obsessed with this show as a teen, I really mean it. Matt Lanter *swoon*. I really hope this is true because I’m about to have a great time. But don’t place any bets on whether I’ll actually get around to it though, we all know what I’m like by now.

Synopsis: The Wilson family have recently moved from small town Kansas to glitzy Beverly Hills, California after the father accepts a job offer.

Also random additions: I want to re-watch Heartstopper, but I’m not sure if I’ll get around to it. I may also check out that Bridgerton prequel show too.
