Spring 2019 – First Impressions, Part One

Well folks, the seasonal deluge is well underway, and the preview guide bulwarks are only barely containing the flood. I’m needed back on the preview front lines, but I felt it about time to send this message home, and let you all know the course of the battle. The first wave of spring shows has actually been very solid so far, with a fine scattering of recommendation-worthy shows across an array of genres, and basically nothing that actively lessens my faith in humanity. As usual, you can check out the full list of previews here, or scroll below for my own scores and links to individual reviews. Let’s run down the season so far!
