If actors believe comedy is hard, then improv comedy is harder. Translating a live improv comedy show to a TV audience? That’s double-diamond difficulty. And Middleditch and Schwartz are among comedy’s moguls.

Dragnificent! isn’t quite as good as Queer Eye — the lower budget it pretty evident — but the drag queens make it a fun, empowering watch.

The access that the filmmakers have gotten makes this series all the more fascinating to watch.

Those of you out there who relish the escapism of sleazy junk like this may appreciate it for its too-hot-for-network-TV moments, and possibly for its scintillating iguana content.

Home is beautifully-shot and tells stories that go beyond just “look at this beautiful and unusual house!” While the episodes can drag at times, it’s still an enjoyable diversion.

After you watch it, you’ll be more aware of just what can go wrong, even when people’s lives are on the line.

D’Elia’s charm and charisma work better when he can play off of his friends and colleagues.

This new season is exactly what you want from What We Do in the Shadows, but even better.

If you’re a fan of the usual Bachelor drama, then Listen To Your Heart should satisfy that craving.

Between its crazy adventures and endless bathing suit scenes lies one of the most fun teen dramas that has premiered in months.

There’s great potential for a fun road-trip comedy here.

It’s not as good as Downton Abbey, but Belgravia still holds a viewer’s interest.

It’s still The Circle, and the social distancing aspect of the series is more relatable than ever. But we were disappointed that the French version has a group of (mostly) generic, interchangeable contestants.

Brews Brothers is funny and is easy going down, like a smooth pilsner. But we’d rather it be a little deeper, like a good ale.

The chilling tale of how we started fighting the same battles we’re still struggling with in 2020.

Kimmel makes an awesome Millionaire host, and the celebs are entertaining enough.

A perfectly fine show that you can sit and watch with your family, and you might even laugh once or twice. That’s more than what we can say about most family sitcoms.

Baghdad Central is well-written, -directed and -acted, and the debut episode sets the table for some potentially vigorous drama.

Well-balanced in its voices, clear of narrative and tough as nails — just as it absolutely needs to be.

World On Fire is certainly a character-driven drama, but those characters, and the fine performances that shape them, are more than enough to work through the disjointed first episode and see where their lives go as World War II grows in scope and danger.

The performances are on-point across the board.

In its triumphant fourth season, The Good Fight remains one of the best, and most insane, shows on television.

Killing Eve Season 3 is deeper, darker, and bigger in its scope than ever before.

Home Before Dark is a solid show that features a character inspired by a real-life kid investigative reporter.

Tales From The Loop feels like something that should be hung on a wall, admired and interpreted rather than a show that a viewer can lean in, watch, and get involved in.

We like Iliza and hope that the first episode of The Iliza Sleshinger Sketch Show was just loaded with a lot of duds.

We saw glimmers of a good show in the pilot, thanks to showrunners Alex Herschlag and Jennie Snyder Urman’s insistence on taking time to build the characters instead of going for cheap gags.

It would be funny if it wasn’t utterly terrifying.

Veers dangerously close to becoming cheesy and artificial. But the results of Farak and Dookhan’s actions is so fascinating, that we’re very interested in watching this until the end.

It’s campy and a little cheesy, but in a good way.

With its global backdrop, imaginative designs, and two of the friendliest faces you’ve ever seen reunited on TV, Making the Cut is exactly the show we need right now.

We wish Unorthodox didn’t have the menacing specter of Esty’s estranged husband (more accurately, his family) interfering with her story of discovery, but the story is well-told despite the thriller aspect.

It’s entertaining in a flimsy, forgettable way, giving us everything we’d anticipate expect from a period drama, and not much more.

Once the adventure aspect of the film picks up, it’s a fun ride until the end.

If you’re coming to it for the first time, you’re watching a series that not only has some of the best actors working on sitcoms today, but they’ve been a TV family long enough that the chemistry among the cast is quite apparent.

The first episode of Freud is a bit confusing, but if you put the real Sigmund Freud out of your mind, you should be able to buckle in and enjoy the ride on this psychological thriller.

The Letter for the King will scratch an itch or three for fantasy mavens although The Witcher seems prime to scratch harder.

Altered Carbon: Resleeved won’t knock anyone’s socks off, but it effectively pleases newcomers and hardcores alike.

If the first season can clear up some of the confusion and expand the world beyond the recruits, we expect things to get very interesting.

The show isn’t interesting enough to get past its glaring flaws.

Little Fires Everywhere has issues, but it’s a very watchable show that should be buoyed by Witherspoon’s and Washington’s performances.

The Pale Horse looks great, and has fine performances. But Sewell’s slimy protagonist is the lynchpin that makes this one of Amazon’s better Christie adaptations.

Beastars compellingly tangles some of the mundanities of human high school life (Oh no! Drama in drama club!) with some weird world-building within an anthropomorphic reality.

Twenties is definitely light on character development, but Gibbs shines as Hattie and the perspective the show presents is unique.

The Plot Against America is a bleak watch, but full of spectacular performances and masterful craftsmanship.

A fun addition to an already fun series.

ZeroZeroZero is surprisingly engaging given just how many locales and characters the viewer needs to keep track of.

This is Maron at his best. He’s calm, cool, collected, a comedic leader for this crazy time in our lives.

We’re not looking for edge with Amazing Stories, but in 2020 even family-oriented shows should have more complex and less Hallmark-Channel-worthy stories than what we saw from the first episode.

Miracle Workers: Dark Ages may not have that satisfying story arc that the show’s first season has, but Viswanathan is a great lead and the characters are well-established by the end of the first episode.

This performance is so raw, director Jason Orley leaves in not just the parts Davidson says he’d cut from the special, but also the aside the comic makes to him from onstage about a joke he wants left in, too.

We’re hoping that some of the quirkiness of Dispatches From Elsewhere meshes better with story as the series goes along, but the ensemble’s initial chemistry compels us to keep watching.

Hillary gives viewers the chance to go beyond soundbites and stereotypes, if they dare.

Dave starts slow but does a good job of introducing (or re-introducing) us to Lil Dicky, and how he became a hip hop star by just being Dave.

Breeders’ stark reality of what it’s like to parent young kids these days hits us right in our exhausted funny bones.

Restaurants On The Edge won’t show you anything about running a successful restaurant, but at least it’ll be easy on the eyes.

Followers moves a little slowly, but it’s visually stunning and is a good illustration of how people’s lives come down to numbers on social media.

Its amazingly crafty kids and Great British Bake-Off positive vibe makes for a fun way to pass 40 or so minutes.

Queen Sono is a fun spy thriller that isn’t trying to answer too many questions about the meaning of life, which is sometimes exactly what you need.

The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez is a very difficult show to watch. But it’s one of those that’s a must watch, because it’ll show you how the government agencies that are supposed to protect children can often fail, often for very stupid reasons.

Hoggart’s innate comedic timing and natural charisma generate so much fun, awkward humor that you’ll be summarily charmed by the offbeat comedy.

Devs emerges as an indisputably stunning mystery.

What we’re not sure about is if this show is going to take some scary twists or if this is going to become just a standard-grade murder mystery that just has some creepy elements.

STREAM IT if you like watching reality and internet clips and making fun of them with a wink and a nod. SKIP IT if you’re expecting the same kind of snark you saw during Joel McHale’s run.

Year Of The Rabbit has Berry hitting the right comedic notes, helped by a funny supporting cast and a setting that’s always ripe for comedy.

If you liked EMHE the first time around, you’ll like it now. And you’ll also like watching Ferguson fumble his way through these jobs and bringing his comedic touch to a show that can get repetitive after awhile.

It may be gross to watch, it may have too much testosterone running through it, but dammit, I liked watching these dopes suffer.

We’re not sure if Utopia Falls is going to get better than the first episode, which we found hokey at times. But we’ll keep watching just to hear more Snoop Dogg, and if the show improves, all the better.

Duncanville is a show where normal things happen to a regular kid. Maybe the fact that it’s not trying too hard is what makes it so funny.

The first episode of Washington, despite being almost 90 minutes without commercials, moves along nicely, the battle scenes are done reasonably well and Rowe does a good job filling the shoes of the great George Washington.

This miniseries isn’t quite the War Of The Worlds you’re familiar with, but it does seem to be looking like a fine apocalyptic survival story that at least has an ending, unlike some others that we’ve been watching on other cable channels for the past ten years.

If you’re a fan of the Slow Burn podcast, or if you’ve never heard it before, you’ll find out new information about Watergate during this docuseries. You just have to get past the aren’t-we-clever podcast shtick first.

The Ghost Bride is a fun show that lightens up on the history and leans in on the mystery, with a sprinkle of romance mixed in.

Two engaging leads and a witty script make Cherish The Day a show that immediately draws you in.

Has the feel of a high-quality procedural to us instead of a super-serialized prestige show.

She really doesn’t have to say much more about how she’s standing alone or what she’s standing for these days, exactly.

The show’s not really going to change your mind about whether or not love truly is blind, but it is going to make you scream at your TV a lot (in the good way).

The Pharmacist shows how sheer determination, fueled by grief and anger, can drive one man to affect change, even if it’s in the face of a corrupt bureaucracy or a massive corporation.

Couple Trouble is super-relatable, and light enough to make sure you’re not going to fight with your SO after watching it.

There’s no such thing as a perfect television show, but Joe Pera Talks With You is pretty darn close.

Not only is it funny, but it sets itself up from the first minute as the next great workplace comedy, one that even gamers will like.

We have no confidence that this mix-and-match episode format is anything more than a gimmick and will just lead to confused viewers.

Marginally recommended, based on the fact that Drescher, Weber, Pally and Elliott are an extremely talented and funny cast, and there’s hope that the writing will improve to accommodate their talents.

Edie Falco is one of those actors we’ll watch in anything. And Tommy certainly is anything.

The world that Andy Greenwald has set up in Briarpatch is one that’s worth visiting, despite the heavy hand on quirk.
