2018 is here, so it’s time once again for our yearly winter TV preview! Noel and Kate talk through the upcoming series premieres and returns, looking at which new shows are worth tuning in for and which are better left for midseason catch-ups. Before that, though, there’s plenty of TV to discuss from this week. We kick things off with our week in comedy and reality, including the premieres of LA to Vegas, grown-ish, The Amazing Race, the midseason premiere of The Good Place, and the dramatic return of the victor from Last Chance Kitchen to Top Chef: Colorado. Then we move on to the week’s genre entries, including the premiere of The X-Files, the Doctor Who Christmas special, and oodles of Steven Universe and Adventure Time.
What TV are you looking forward to in 2018? Listen to hear our most anticipated, then reach out with your picks, and any upcoming TV we missed in our preview.

Agreed on “Awake”. That was a really good show. My impression though was that Counterpart isn’t an episodic police procedural, but instead a more serialized espionage thing
Cary Fukunaga hasn’t been involved in The Alienist in some time. He was supposed to direct the pilot, but moved on. I’m surprised True Detective made you uninterested in his work; even people who didn’t like the writing for season 1 generally seemed to think it was well directed.
