We’ve reached the end of the first week of 2021. And what a week it has been!

Over the past few weeks Always Be Watching has picked up a bunch of new readers (and a good number of paid subscribers too - your support means the world to me). With that in mind, I just wanted to explain two quick things about the newsletter:

Always Be Watching isn’t written for you to read everything. Even though, some people do. I bold all of the show names and actors to help people skim through to find stories of interest.
There are six emails that go out every week. Five daily news emails. And the sixth is this one - a guide to all the new scripted shows from the US, UK, and Australia. These aren’t recommendations. They’re just letting you know that these shows exist - something I find helpful with so many new and returning shows starting all the time.

returning:

Cobra Kai (s3), Taskmaster (s10), Casualty (s35), Last Man Standing (s9), The Rookie (s3), Staged (s2), Murdoch Mysteries (s14), Hudson & Rex (s3), Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (s2), Death in Paradise (s10), Scot Squad (s6), A Discovery of Witches (s2), Not Going Out (s11), Dickinson (s2)

Cobra Kai season 3: release date, trailer, plot, and more | GamesRadar+ — Cobra Kai returned for season 3 this week on Netflix. I know a lot of you are bonkers for this show. I say it’s fine.

Moment of Zen

Gary Coleman and David Hasselhoff on the set of Knight Rider : dragonutopia — I was introduced to this photo as “The world’s greatest photo” in the early 00s. It was as true then as it is now.

Enjoy your weekend.
