  1. There’s something in the way she declares “but I got my biscuits” or “and that’s why I’m gay”or even “it’s much cheaper than a therapist, and it comes with biscotti” that might make you want to stand and cheer.
  2. Zany, sharp, and entertaining as ever, Made for Love remains one of HBO Max’s best original series.
  3. The Chestnut Man: Hide And Seek is as creepy as the original season of The Chestnut Man, with the case at hand enhanced by the now-established personal and professional relationship between Naia and Mark.
  4. Ted Lasso has a feel-good vibe about it that overcomes the first episode’s lack of funny lines. And it helps that Sudeikis is amazingly likable and he’s hooked up with Lawrence, who always knows how to get the most out of his show’s characters.
  5. Despite the languid pacing, Sugar had us engaged for the entire first episode, mainly because Colin Farrell embodies the character of John Sugar so well.
  6. We’ve gotten to know the Williams family and their circle of friends, as well as the crowd that Dean runs with in school, which is at the heart of what makes this version of The Wonder Years so enjoyable. We’re happy we can finally spend some more time with them, over a year since Season 1 ended.
  7. As a skilled roaster on both Comedy Central and now Netflix, Glaser also knows how to take a joke as well as she can dish them out. You probably cannot come up with zingers about her physical appearance that’ll knock her down any more than any of the lines she delivers about her looks in this hour.
  8. Nautilus is a visually fun, family-friendly new chapter in the story of Captain Nemo, which keeps the action moving throughout its first episode.
  9. A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder rides on the charm of Emma Myers, but there’s also a solid mystery to get to the bottom of, which isn’t always the case in shows like this.
  10. This season of The Traitors offers several big changes, fortunately all for the better.

    The Sex Lives of College Girls remains a cheeky and amusing ode to the modern-day college experience and female friendships, despite fan-favorite Leighton's (Rapp) impending transfer.
  11. The end of the first episode of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is bound to turn off some viewers, but just take a deep breath and proceed. By the halfway point, your anger and confusion will fully dissipate as the story plays on and divulges new findings about the beloved characters. If you venture into this series with an open mind, you’ll love it. The show has all the charm, humor, and action of its source material!
  12. As big as Stranger Things has stretched in season four, the avenues by which its parallel narrative threads will converge are becoming more clear with the revelations of volume two. And that’s exciting, watching as all of these characters, long broken apart, find their way back to each other.
  13. There’s plenty of material here to fill the breezy half-hour episodes of What We Do in the Shadows, where bits ricochet wildly off crown molding and claw foot furniture.
  14. The result is a totally unvarnished meta meditation on his journey. And from the euphoria of instant stardom to all of the adversity, hits and misses that came after, it becomes much more of a personal document than just another celebrity documentary.
  15. If you’re a fan of The Bachelor franchise or Love Island, Love Is Blind, and Too Hot To Handle, just jump right in. Don’t even think about it, you know you’re gonna love this.
  16. Like the first season, The Vow Part II moves quickly, even as it dives deeper into the people who were and still are loyal to Keith Reinere, finding out their reasoning, motivation and rationalizations. Those conversations, paired with the information from the trial, will make for an interesting second season.
  17. The Umbrella Academy never met a time traveling wrinkle it didn’t like, and for season three, there’s a lot of fallout to sort through. But with strong characters both old and new, there’s plenty of reason to see it through.
  18. There’s just enough archival pictures and footage, along with the traditional talking head interviews, though, to give the series the right amount of docuseries legitimacy. But the lip-synched reenactments, combines with the access the recordings from Grosse, Playfair and others provide, paint an appropriately scary picture of a house that seemed to either be legitimately haunted or suffering through lots of scary, unexplainable natural phenomena.
  19. Deal Or No Deal Island is the Cool Ranch Doritos of game shows, taking some of the best things about original and subtly improving it.
  20. One Night Only finds Adele personally refreshed and professionally primed, a place her legions of adoring fans will certainly enjoy hearing about in both performance and interview.
  21. Few shows are as skilled at sorting through the intricate, hypocritical, and quiet forms of hurt better than this thriller. But just because Servant has gotten more introspective this go round doesn’t mean the chilling drama has lost its edge.
  22. We’re excited about what Robinson is developing, right from the first half-hour. It’s going to be a hangout show, sure, but a hangout show where Phoebe and her friend group are going to comment on everything they think is trash, which is pretty much everything. So social comedy, fun hangout situations, and character-driven jokes… The formula seems to obvious, we wonder why more current sitcoms don’t do this.
  23. Best Interests is certainly one of those shows that would be considered a “heavy watch.” But Sharon Horgan and Michael Sheen both do a fantastic job of playing parents put in a difficult situation as they have to make literal life-and-death decisions about their disabled child.
  24. Fans of Fielder’s comic work might struggle to find familiar laughs in The Curse, but the series is a deftly woven tapestry of tension. At its best, The Curse‘s surrealist approach edges close to the creative heights of another Showtime series, Twin Peaks: The Return. At its worst, the social satire feels a bit too on the nose, especially on the heels of an “Eat the Rich” cinematic boom.
  25. Wyatt Earp And The Cowboy War takes an entertaining look at a surprisingly complex part of American history, with its judicious use of narration and interview supporting well-written and well-acted scripted reenactments.
  26. Castlevania: Nocturne is an exemplary way to take a popular game series and turn it into one of the most exciting animated adaptations yet. It remains to be seen the heights that animated Richter Belmont will reach, but we’re confident we’ll be left impressed.
  27. In My Skin provides some extra substance to the typical coming-of-age story, couched in mental illness and the desire of most teens to just fit in, even if they have to go to extreme measures to accomplish that goal.
  28. It may not be the happiest tale, but it is a heartwrenching and human one (supernat[u]ral monsters and all), so if you’re feeling brave and hungry for quality content, do yourselves a favor and STREAM IT!
  29. Even if you’re not a gamer, or a fan of League of Legends, Arcane will be more than entertaining enough to hold your interest, with an interesting story backed by amazing animation.
