The end of 2019 has finally passed, and I can now look back and see the full picture of what entertainment media I consumed for the year. As has been the case the past few years, it has been dominated by TV (and YouTube, which I didn't include in this retrospective). Below you will find my list of the top TV shows of the year, the worst shows of the year, the books I read in 2019, the films I saw in 2019 (although not necessarily released in that year), and all the television shows I watched during the year (including the ones I only watched an episode or three of before giving up or just never going back). [You'll notice many TV shows get listed twice in the "Television Shows Watched" list; the first time is finishing the season that began in 2018, and the second time is starting the season that began in 2019.] In 2020 I expect a shift towards books, or I plan on one at least. I've already unsubbed from several YouTube channels that eat up a lot of my time, and I'm planning to cut back on the telly this year as well. I hope. But I've got a stack of books I'm determined to get through by year's end, so I need to find the time. Thankfully, but somewhat sadly, a number of the programs listed below had their final season/series in 2019.

This months themed discussion is on Horror in Entertainment. October starts off with Harvest Season, and it ends in my personal favorite holiday, Halloween. Do you like the Horror Genre? Do you hate it? What are your favorite Horror films? Video Games? Songs? Books? Tabletop Games? Etc? Which ones do you hate? What makes you jump, your skin crawl, or squirm at the mere sight? What makes you recoil in fear? What horror tropes are you tired of seeing? Which Tropes can't you get enough of? What do you think about ultra-gore from series like Saw? What do you think about the Nudity that runs rampant in horror films? What makes or break horror for you?
