Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 17 November 2019

While we continue to get Discordant Content from Batwoman, Watchmen, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Flash, Arrow, and Titans from various sources, Disney+ launched, and their opening salvo fires both barrels of The Mandalorian, giving us two episodes a week, as well as non-fiction offerings like Marvel’s Hero Project.  If you like your heroes a bit less super, The Good Doctor is around to help, and if you like the other side of the spectrum, The Blacklist’s investigates money issues, and we get The Word in Castle Rock.  If you wanted comics but not heroes, you’re out of luck, but Riverdale did once hear about something from some similarly named comics.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 10 November 2019

Flash and Arrow take a by-week, but their Diligent Coworkers can pick up the slack as Batwoman get embraced by her city, Supergirl gets devious, Watchmen introduces a new character, Black Lightning deals with his family tragically, and the Titans play hangman.  The Good Doctor deals with a kid the the bubble and Riverdale’s is under a bad influence.  Castle Rock gives us Joy’s mother’s story, while American Horror Story is in a dead heat to the finale.  Blacklist gives us a governor who plays at being a magician.  In the best news, we get another Star Trek: Discovery short trip this week!

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 3 November 2019

Black Lightning and Flash take the week off, leaving extra time to take in the whole season four of She-Ra with my daughters that drops this week.  Even without their Dynamic Coworkers, Batwoman, Supergirl, Arrow, the Titans, and Watchmen keep the flame alive with new episodes.  Halloween’s ended, so we take a trip from Castle Rock to Eden, and on American Horror Story we get a heartwarming tale of three friends getting together.  Riverdale plays courtroom drama, while The Blacklist investigates The Matrix.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 27 October 2019

Last week, I was surprised by a new show that I hadn’t even heard was coming out, so I must ask: who watches the Watchmen?  If that isn’t enough Diverse Continuities, Batwoman expands her rogues gallery, Supergirl investigates her criminal fenemy, Black Lightning reintegrates at home, The Flash gets bloody, Arrow continues its victory lap with Thea’s return, and Titans, not content without a description, doesn’t give us a title, either.  In Castle Rock, we hope to get horror, Riverdale, the horrors of ancient video media scares everyone, and A.H.S. gives us unexplored camp horrors.  The Good Doctor alienates people, and on The Blacklist, Red goes to Cuba.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 13 October 2019

It’s getting Distressingly Crowded on the CW, as Arrow returns to stand along side Batwoman, Supergirl, Black Lightning, Flash, and Jorah Mormont Bruce Wayne (on Titans.)  If you aren’t feeling super heroic, The Good Doctor gives us a conspiracy theorist, and if you are feeling villainous, the killers at camp American Horror Story are preparing for a bad guy on bad guy fight, Red offers us some bad flowers on his Blacklist, and those wholesome American kids of Riverdale start their extra curricular activities.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 6 October 2019

We are off to the races this week, with the return of Supergirl, Black Lightning, Riverdale, and the Flash.  In case you didn’t think that was enough Depicted Coverage, even after mixing in the Titans, Batwoman premiers!  We also have The Good Doctor goes fishing, American Horror Story continues its summer at camp, and we get the second half of The Blacklist’s anagram story.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 29 September 2019

Pennyworth and Preacher have their tenth episodes, which appear to be capping their seasons, but the fall season isn’t over before it’s begun, as The Blacklist returns to bring us more of Ultron Spader chewing up the set.  Robot Chicken gets a tenth season, fleshing out our schedule next to Titans and The Good Doctor.  What a feeling, American Horror Story gives us another maniac.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 15 September 2019

The fall season isn’t back yet, but American Horror Story returns to 1984 after the kids are put to bed, just in time to unsettle and disturb us for when we try to sleep ourselves.  Otherwise, Pennyworth works with some enemies, Preacher continues to play hide and seek, and Titans play Scooby Doo.

My kids will be thrilled that Miraculous Lady Bug returns, but my red-clad hero of choice is Spider-Man, both of which have episodes this week as well.
