2022 Shows and Movies Watch List

Collage of shows and movies I watched in 2022

I’ve been tracking what I’ve read for some years now, and have been keeping an eye on what a few friends have been watching, as well as Kottke’s famous media diet posts, and I got to wondering what my media consumption was like.

So, I started tracking it (no spreadsheet, just a note). There’s no monthly breakdown for shows as they would sometimes get spread across months.

Anything that was a re-watch is in italics. It’s likely I missed one or two, of course.

I’ve tried to indicate where I/we saw something (AppleTV, Amazon, Netflix, Shudder, etc). Generally, if a movie isn’t indicated, it’s something I picked up on iTunes (yes, I know it’s been renamed, but iTunes is more recognized for now).

In December we signed up for Disney+ for a month to see what was there (we did this in 2021 as well), and by the time the month was over, I was really done with Marvel stuff, and Star Wars to a lesser degree. Andor was the only thing I’d say was a “must-see” there.

Overall, one of the hardest things for me now I think is that it’s just not remotely possible to keep up with the rate new movies and shows are being released at all for me anymore. I have no idea how anyone actually has time to see everything they’re interested in that comes out; my to-watch list, similar to my “to be read” list keeps growing and growing.

How to do you manage it?
