Which newcomers on the small screen have impressed reviewers the most during the first half of the year?

This six-episode HBO series about a group of young female skateboarders in New York is a spinoff from the 2018 feature film Skate Kitchen and comes from that film's director, Crystal Moselle (along with Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Lesley Arfin). Also back are most of the original cast members, here playing pretty much the same characters though the series restarts the story from the beginning and makes a few tweaks along the way.
“With lyrical camerawork that evocatively glides just above the pavement, a group of actors whose work pays greater dividends with every successive minute, and its sharp writing, 'Betty' is a spontaneous and deeply sincere drama about living and skating freely.” —Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
