  1. Deadly Class takes a beloved genre and offers a new take. With touches of humor, layered characters and creativity to spare, this is a series that resonates.
  2. The true star of the show is Saniyya Sidney. The 12-year-old actress performs with a maturity well beyond her years. Sidney is funny, sarcastic and tough. She and Gosselaar have an authentic father/daughter chemistry.
  3. If you blink, you might miss a nuanced bit of dialogue or the camera focusing on something relevant to the plot. This is one of the most carefully crafted programs I’ve seen, with fantastic performances from Roberts and Stephan James (in a breakout role). Homecoming is addictive, appointment television and yet another feather in the cap for Amazon’s streaming service.
  4. [Fillion's] character fits him like a well-worn suit. ... Full of action, interesting characters, and a little bit of romance, The Rookie is a sure-fire hit.
  5. The pilot for the new Magnum, full of explosions, car chases and frivolous relationships, is kitsch designed for mass appeal. It shares nothing with its predecessor because it has no heart. This show is “Magnum P.I.” in name only, which is a shame.
  6. Series co-creators Kurt Sutter and Elgin James do an excellent job of making EZ a layered and conflicted character who's fascinating to watch. You’ll want to know what happened to this man and where his path takes him from here.
  7. Showrunners Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland have perfectly reimagined Ryan for modern audiences. They certainly couldn’t have found a better actor to play him.
  8. The lovely scenery belies the show’s serious content because all the participants seem to be going through something stressful. ... The people on this series seem like regular folks you meet every day, which makes watching them go through this experience intriguing.
  9. As Harley Carter, Jerry O’Connell is likable and relatable, which makes him and his crew of odd friends and family members enjoyable to watch. Carter doesn’t always make its intentions clear, and the show can be a bit formulaic, but it’s certainly a series worth checking out.
  10. Bill Skarsgard, despite minimal dialogue and a slight frame, is genuinely creepy and menacing as a prisoner who may be more than he seems. Genuine performances such as Skarsgard’s should keep audiences invested even when Castle Rock temporarily veers off course.
  11. This show requires more patience, however, with its foggy path finally beginning to clear around episode three. But Sharp Objects sucks you in, making it hard to stay away from its curious world once you’re engaged.
  12. This series is a visual feast, with stunning mountains, lovely vistas and spectacular camera work. "Yellowstone" will make the Montana Office of Tourism proud. .... While John Dutton is a bit of a mystery, I'm invested enough to see how the character and "Yellowstone" develop.
  13. Ramsay is still quick with a quip. But we see a softer side to the chef, with Ramsay listening more and berating a bit less. To be sure, he still has an edge, but it's a little less sharp. ... When it comes to restaurant makeover shows, the more troublesome the owner, the more entertaining the episode. ... If the premiere episode is any indication, Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back will be a must-watch summer series.
  14. Ty and Tandy have real depth. Throw in an evil corporation, an air of mystery and surprisingly dark content on a network that used to be called ABC Family, and you have a fascinating show that focuses on story, not special effects.
  15. While the three leads' performances are excellent, particularly Michael Shannon as Captain Beatty, the cast of Fahrenheit 451 gets shortchanged by the film format.
  16. Although most of the characters are horrible people, there are some great performances. Just expect your enthusiasm for this series to be tempered by its challenging content.
  17. Turning Johnny from a villain to a sympathetic character and showing some of Daniel’s flaws humanizes both men. However, while watching the first two episodes I was left a bit confused as there isn’t a clear antagonist or protagonist. ... If you’re a child of the 80s seeing how things have played out for Johnny and Daniel will be right in your wheelhouse.
  18. First-rate production values, a stellar cast, and a perfect blend of action and character development make Lost in Space a must-watch series.
  19. The pilot for The Crossing is reminiscent of "Lost" and "Wayward Pines," signaling great potential for the new series.
  20. While it can be tough to watch, this series tells a compelling story with the help of a stellar cast and stunning visuals.
  21. This series is much deeper than a mere parody. The characters are layered and fascinating. Although the season gets off to a slow start, Barry is a must watch.
  22. Cumming is believable as a college professor, but not so much as a spy.
  23. Robbin’ Season was certainly worth the wait.
  24. McMafia gets off to a painstakingly slow start. For the first half hour of the premiere, I was lulled to sleep by talk of banking and finance. Even after the pace finally starts picking up, things slow down again.
  25. A mix of humor, criminality and high jinks, Good Girls is a lot of fun.
  26. An engaging cast of characters. ... It's clear that novelist Richard K. Morgan was influenced by "The Matrix" and "Bladerunner," but this series certainly stands on its own. Bay City is a captivating world filled with action and intrigue, making this a Netflix series you won't want to miss.
  27. Medical procedurals are typically too color-by-numbers for my taste, but that's not the case here. With well-placed touches of humor, interesting storylines and a special cast, "The Resident" is a prescription you should have filled.
  28. A fast paced, action packed show with a great cast, this new show has a lot of potential.
  29. Jefferson Pierce isn't just a superhero. He's a social justice warrior. He quotes Martin Luther King Jr. AND beats up bad guys. This instantly makes him one of the most interesting heroes on television.
  30. The comedy in LA to Vegas is inconsistent.
