  1. Just like during its first season, The Agency should be more than what it is, given its cast and the contemplative style. It’s not, but it’s entertaining enough for fans of the espionage genre to watch while doing other things around the house.
  2. It’s not that Oasis is necessarily a bad show, but it seems like a formula we’ve seen a lot of, and the show doesn’t bring anything new to the table to make it even the tiniest bit distinct from other “rich people being awful” shows.
  3. We still like a lot about Sugar, including Farrell’s perormance as well as the show’s film noir look and feel, but after the first season’s revelations, the show needs to have something more than just a missing-person mystery to make it not feel like it’s going backwards.
  4. Despite a riveting performance from Britt Lower, I Will Find You is one of the more ridiculous Coben adaptations we’ve seen, and that’s saying a lot.
  5. We’re still not 100% sold on The Season being a show that’s going to be anything more than a moderately-entertaining distraction that’s sprinkled with some leaden dialogue and meh acting. But at least the last scene of the first episode gives us hope that the awful people in the story will be balanced by a protagonist we actually want to root for.
  6. America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders continues to do a good job of showing how much the hopefuls and veterans work and sacrifice to make the DCC squad. We just wish the format was a little different this season.
  7. Patience continues to be an effective mystery series because of Ella Maisy Purvis’ portrayal of a person who is on the autism spectrum who puts her abilities to use in the best way she knows how.
  8. House of the Dragon Season 3 transcends television and is sheer explosive entertainment.
  9. Let Rebecca Hall guide you down a rabbit hole of auditory madness — and maybe a kind of ecstasy? — in The Listeners. We heard you’re gonna love it.
  10. Outlast: The Jungle is a good continuation of the Outlast franchise, adding heat and torrential downpours to the hazards the show’s players have to face in order to collect a share of the $1 million prize.
  11. The Evil Lawyer is a bit overdramatic, but it sets up an intriguing scenario where Jittri and Mek defend more impossible clients while Mek faces his own fate in court.

    Calabasas Confidential has what it takes to become Netflix’s next big reality show.
  12. We really had trouble connecting with the sisters and the sticky situation they get themselves into in That Night, and we don’t know if things are going to get better as we get deeper into this story.
  13. The Art Of Sarah looks like it’s going to be an intriguing, multilayered mystery about a woman who built a luxurious life from a complex lie and the cop that figures those lies out.
  14. Time Flies has the potential to be a bit predictable, but we like the relationship between Inés and Manca, and the lengths Inés will go to in order to make sure Manca gets the care she needs.
  15. There’s nothing revolutionary or even unique about Every Year After. But the cast is charming enough and the setting is pictureseque enough to make the show a pleasant distraction for fans of romantic dramas.
  16. Alice And Steve gets funnier the more the tension between Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement’s characters ramps up. But the effective way their friendship is established is what makes the tension work.
  17. The Vampire Lestat is a bit of a left turn in the Interview With The Vampire story, but it’s campy fun with good music and a Lestat that is funnier the more seriously he takes himself.
  18. Despite some issues with the first episode of Cape Fear, we enjoyed Javier Bardem’s lower-key Max Cady so much that we definitely want to see how he inflicts himself into the lives of Anna Bowden and her family.
  19. Because of some good performances and an interest in seeing the broad strokes of this case, The Witness is worth watching, but we just wish the series took a more nuanced look at the Nickell case.

    Regardless of whether you’re a Critical Role fan, Dungeons & Dragons player, or a returning viewer of The Legend of Vox Machina, if you love strong animation, well-written characters, an intriguing plot, and a big adventure, then do yourself a favor and STREAM IT.
  20. Jeremy Clarkson loves knowing everything, even when he doesn’t know anything, and this inherent conflict continues its bountiful crop yield in Season 5 of Clarkson’s Farm. It’s a consistently fun show, because you can see the contours of Top Gear and The Grand Tour within it, how the host combines thoughtful observations with smart-alecky asides.
  21. There is nothing inherently wrong with Michael Jackson: The Verdict. It’s a well-made docuseries that tries to show both sides of Jackson’s molestation trial. But it also feels completely unnecessary.
  22. Could Not Suitable For Work get better once the writers figure out who these characters are? Sure. But the show is starting from such an annoyingly unfunny place that it may take the entire season for that to happen, and by then most viewers will have checked out.
  23. The problem with the first episode is that it doesn’t go far enough in describing just how problematic van Mierers and his cult really was.
  24. Everybody around the space program knows what they’re not allowed to say, and yet a lot of them feel tempted to say it. Which is a tension we can believe in as the series continues to unfold its detailed alternate reality.
  25. Rafa is hardly the first documentary following the final days of an athlete’s career, but it’s one of the only ones that feels brave enough to show the depth of sacrifice made for glory.
  26. The dynamics of Deli Boys have changed as DarCo’s business has grown, but there are still enough funny moments to make the second season fun to watch.
  27. While the plot of the second season of The Good Girl’s Guide To Murder feels a bit less focused than the previous season’s story, it’s still watchable because Emma Myers and the community of friends that help Pip investigate things.
  28. The second season of The Four Seasons doesn’t quite have the same fun group dynamic that the first season had, but it still has funny moments and more than enough chemistry between its cast members to be very watchable.
