March has been a great month for TV-lovers! Every week, I have had a stacked lineup of new episodes to watch — everything from sitcoms to action shows to sci-fi.
Now, some of my favorite shows have come to a close, so my weeks feel a bit emptier. As I try to fill these voids with endless cast interviews, behind-the-scenes content and re-watching, I want to reminisce on all of the shows I enjoyed this month.
- “Severance”
-
“Severance” takes work-life balance to a whole new level. The show centers around the Macrodata Refinement team at Lumon Industries — a group of coworkers who severed their consciousnesses, essentially creating two versions of themselves. One is their work selves, dubbed “innies,” and the other is their home selves, dubbed “outies.”
This means their outies can be married and have families, and their innies would never know. On the other hand, their outies can never fully understand what their innies do at work every day. What does this mean for their innies, who are permanently at work, never getting to see the sky?
The show explores the ethics and consequences of the severance procedure, getting you attached to its Macrodata Refinement team — Mark S., Helly R., Irving B. and Dylan G. — along the way.
With the season two hype, I had to jump on the “Severance” train, and you should too. Your outie cannot wait for season three!
- “Invincible”
-
“Invincible” tells the story of Mark Grayson — a high schooler who is thrilled when he finally gets his super powers, just like his hero father, Omni-Man. It is soon revealed that there is more to his father and his history than he initially thought.
Season three focuses on Grayson’s internal moral conflict as he struggles with the realities of being a superhero and navigates the benefits and drawbacks of mercy, deciding where to draw the line.
If you are looking for a show with a bit of everything — from insane and gory battles to struggles balancing being a superhero with his girlfriend and high school responsibilities — you need to watch “Invincible.”
- “abbott elementary”
-
The slow burn is over — season four of “Abbott Elementary” continued in March with Janine and Gregory officially dating!
“Abbott Elementary” is about a group of teachers at a school in Philadelphia who navigate problems like a class guinea pig getting loose in the school, a jealous parent wanting to fight a teacher and an overly competitive science fair.
Season four focuses primarily on the construction of a golf course by the school that is draining the school’s resources and causing other problems, so the staff at Abbott is forced to take unique approaches.
“Abbott Elementary” is a must-watch hilarious sitcom about a lovable group of teachers, with a lot of wholesome and sweet moments about the struggles teachers face every day.
- “yellowjackets”
-
“Yellowjackets” tells the story of a high school soccer team whose plane crashes on the way to nationals, leaving them stranded in the wilderness for 19 months.
The show has two continuous story lines: one focusing on the girls’ slow descent into madness as they brave the wilderness and the other focusing on them as adults, coping with their past as new mysteries unfold.
I am obsessed with “Yellowjackets.” My friend begged me to watch it, and I binged the first two seasons in a week. This show has the most insane plot twists I have ever seen. Every episode leaves me screaming at my TV and counting the days until Friday.
Season three has had some of the craziest twists yet. It’s becoming harder and harder to defend some of my favorite characters and their borderline insane decisions.
One thing about “Yellowjackets” is that you will get incredibly attached to its ensemble cast. The actors’ offscreen content is also super fun to follow week to week. I am addicted to watching TikTok flood with new theories and opinions after every episode.
With only two more episodes of season three, you need to catch up to watch the finale with the rest of the internet!
Don’t worry — April holds so much to look forward to, like releases of “The Last of Us” season two, “Andor” season two and “Black Mirror” season seven. “The Studio,” a sitcom starring Seth Rogan as movie-creator Matt Remick, also just premiered on March 26, and I already love it!
With March’s incredible TV lineup, I am sure there is something perfect for you. If you are looking for a new watch, I definitely recommend these four shows!
