And if that’s the case, we might as well brace ourselves for a probable lockdown, if any, with a list of good TV shows. If at all, we want to revisit 2020, we would know how TV has remained a bright light and a nice break in the midst of some extremely dismal news. So, if you want to snuggle down in January and enjoy some time indoors, Television will be there for you. Because there’s more to watch on TV than there are hours in the day. We’ve compiled a list of the 5 under-the-radar new series you shouldn’t miss this month.

Good Sam

Release date: January 5, 2022 on CBS

Good Sam

The relationship between Dr Sam Griffith (Sophia Bush) and her dad, Dr Rob Griffith (Jason Isaacs), is difficult. Despite the fact that they are both accomplished heart surgeons, the senior Dr Griffith always believes he knows better and does not recognise his daughter’s medical judgement or authority. After Rob is stabbed and goes into a six-month coma, things get much tougher. When her father wakes up, Sam assumes the section in his place, which irritates him. The CBS drama blends House’s medical puzzles with some tense family relationships. Bush and Isaacs work well together, elevating this CBS drama above the usual medical drama fare.

In this latest instalment of The CW’s superhero franchise, Kaci Walfall plays the leading lady.

Naomi’s community of Port Oswego witnesses a mysterious occurrence that no one can explain in the pilot, created by executive producers Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship. Naomi must next turn to two mystery people: used car salesman Zumbado (Cranston Johnson) and tattoo artist Dee, who may hold the clues to her origin tale (Alexander Wraith).

Samantha (Sofia Black-D’Elia) is compelled to return to Boston to live with her mother Carol (Ally Sheedy) following a felony conviction for public drunkenness at work. When she returns home, she must face the truth that she is an alcoholic, albeit one who has been sober for years. She needs employment as well as a sponsor. She also has to take responsibility for her faults. As a result, the series has a unique combination of humour and a real and honest look at addiction. Sheedy is terrific as a mother who adores her kid but makes several errors in her efforts to assist her, while Black-D’Elia excels as a lady who makes frustrating decisions despite her desire to do better.
