I've found that the CW is consistently batting well above average right now. Their stable of comic book shows (while having some season misses) have shown longevity and when one of them falters another picks up the slack. Riverdale is a new high point and follows up the revamp of the Archie line of books that happened a couple years ago with a mash-up of decent teen drama and a heavy dose of Twin Peaks mystery and intrigue.

Speaking of Twin Peaks... OMG, the new season has made my year. Total and unrestrained Lynch. I'm loving it. (Technically this is available via streaming, but it's still primarily a cable show.)

Over on AMC, Preacher has my attention for it's completely off-the-wall batshit craziness. I'm hoping that now that they have caught up with the comic books they don't just rehash the same stories and keep back some curve balls.

And recently on FX, Legion was very good. It faltered a bit towards the end as they tried to lock down more of a narrative conclusion, but was still able to "wow" with "I can't believe this is on television" scenes.

And if Hannibal was still on TV today, the conversation would be over. That show was so unbelievably good and pushed the envelope so hard I'm surprised and happy it got 3 seasons.
