Back with another monthly watch list recap!
Once a month I send out a list of everything I watched the previous month to give you some ideas of things to add to your own watch lists, so I’m here to share the rundown of all of the stuff I watched in March.
RELATED: Everything I Watched in February 2025
Note that I only include seasons of TV shows that I finished in any given month — if it’s still on or I’m still currently watching it, then I’ll include it when it’s over.
You’ll find that my reactions to things lean positive, because 1. I actively try to seek out stuff that I expect to be entertaining, has been well reviewed and/or has value to me — I’m not just going to watch the most popular show on Netflix because everyone else is if I don’t think I would like it — and 2. I’ve given myself more leeway recently to give up on shows that I’m not enjoying. I used to force myself to finish things even if I hated them, which is truly unnecessary and a waste of time.
Keep scrolling for the list of everything I watched in March 2025 (and here’s the list from February if you’re new here or just want more ideas for things to watch):
The Real Housewives of Potomac - Season 9 (Peacock/Bravo) 👐
A fairly mid season of “Real Housewives” that was capped off with one of the best reunions we’ve seen in years. While it wasn’t as much of a drag as season 8 was, “RHOP” season 9 was too dominated by Mia Thornton’s lie-filled and hard-to-watch paternity storyline, and now we know for sure that Karen Huger wasn’t telling anything close to the truth when it came to her DUI.
But that reunion! Whew! When the Potomac ladies are on it, no other group can deliver a reunion like them. First and foremost, this one brought humor back to the forefront of this franchise, which is what it does best when it’s at its best. Secondly, with Karen MIA and Mia as a common enemy, it brought some of the dynamics within the cast (Wendy/Gizelle, Stacey/Ashley), to fruition in a way that was a joy to watch. Suddenly I’m extremely excited for season 10! Still I rise.
