The character of Bob Lee Swagger is a modern-day version of Captain America mixed with Jason Bourne. It's a great combination, and with a stellar cast and plenty of action and intensity, it all leads to one heck of an enjoyable program.

The series will need the members of StarCrossed to evolve to keep them from being one note.

Chance is a psychological thriller that is both intriguing and intelligent. While it can come across as high brow and esoteric at times, the three episodes I watched were barely enough to keep me satiated.

After a strong pilot episode, Goliath felt like it was starting to find its rhythm in episode two. The series moved to the courtroom and McBride's legal acumen was on full display. It was impressive albeit familiar ground.

Skillfully shot, with a slick concept and a strong cast, I was eager to see what happened next after viewing the premiere.

What if the hosts remembered what happened to them? What if these androids became more than what they were designed for? These are the questions Westworld asks in its first few episodes and its thought provoking.

It's a formula that's worked well, and it once again proves successful here. But to its credit, Marvel's Luke Cage is different then its predecessors.

It grabs your attention within the first few minutes and keeps you fixated on your screen until the last, dramatic scene. The hourlong pilot feels like 30 minutes and will leave you wanting more.

Although less thought provoking [than the film "Defending Your Life"], this new series uses a similar premise but has the potential to be even funnier. A fascinating theme and a charismatic cast make The Good Place appointment television.

Yes, it's a little bit odd, but this is a unique and capricious comedy.

It’s much more real, honest and thought provoking than any program I’ve seen this year. Unique in every respect, Atlanta is a hands down one of this fall’s best new series.

If you’re of a certain age you can’t help but find the travels of these four seniors both adorable and humorous.

New York has an incredible musical history, and even though it can be convoluted at times, The Get Down will take you on a lyrical journey through this great city that's hard to forget.

It knows exactly what it is and makes no apologies for it. Although the series is starting to show its age, The 4th Awakens still delivers over-the-top summer nonsense.

Russell is an interesting enough character, but Vice Principals works better when the light shines on McBride's Gamby alone.

I found the genre blending of pre-teen adventure with mild horror refreshingly unique.

While this new series makes some dubious choices with its characters and setting (Why did it need to be set in 1989?), the premiere of Dead of Summer provided much of what I look for in a summer show--an enjoyable distraction.

While Roadies has a number of good set pieces, they don't quite mesh together to make a cohesive program. Much of that is due to its meandering first two episodes. ... [In episode three] Personalities started to finally develop, a hilarious guest stint by Rainn Wilson provided plenty of laughs and this series finally started to show its potential.

Clever, dangerous and cinematically produced, Animal Kingdom is must-see TV.

Wrecked is a decent summer comedy but it takes its sweet time finding its footing. The series doesn’t find its true identity until episode three, well after the initial “Lost” jokes have worn thin.

Although through voice overs Reedus does try to convey some of his life philosophies, which is surprisingly zen, Ride is mostly about getting a chance to see places in the U.S. from a different perspective. However, because it lacks depth, without Reedus leading the way, there wouldn’t be much to Ride. If you don’t know who the actor is, chances are you won’t get a lot out of this series.

In its attempt to mash together several genres, AMC's new drama will frequently leave viewers unsatisfied, much like a fast food taco. However, when it hits the right mark, this series is engaging and entertaining.

While a respectable reimagining of the original, this updated version of “Roots” can’t quite match its almost 40 old year predecessor.

A unique series with an unusual premise, Lady Dynamite is awkwardly addictive.

A hodgepodge of different genres, this series is flat-out fun.

The series gets off to a sloppy start, but with two solid leads and an intriguing premise, Houdini and Doyle is worth investigating.

While none of these actors are household names, all are convincing, believable and engaging. ... This is one of those series that will make you ask yourself what you would do in a similar situation. It might lead to some uncomfortable moments, but Containment sure does make for entertaining television.

While it runs a bit long and can get bogged down with minor details that detract from the overall plot, because it touches on so many important issues--race relations, gender equity, political maneuvering--Confirmation makes for a fascinating look at an important moment from a turbulent decade.
