Swagger is a realistic look at how a talented kid becomes a superstar in the youth basketball world, but at least learns how to be a fully-realized person if basketball (more than likely) doesn’t make him rich.- Decider

The league itself exists in the shadow of its founder. Determining whether that’s forever is another tenet central to Heels, and that gives all of the characters surrounding Jack and Ace the space they need to flourish. But beyond the trials of family, what Heels is most adept at exploring is the dao of professional wrestling itself.- Decider

Yes, seeing Carol’s elderly parents in the buff, doing the things that throuples do with their burly aide Michael, is funny. But it’s also poignant; even at their advanced age, Carol’s parents are doing the things they never got to do simply because it’s everyone’s last chance. But Carol’s desire for maintaining her routine makes us like her all the more.- Decider

Russian Doll Season 2 is good, but it’s not quite as great as Russian Doll Season 1. This new season gets messy with its wild narrative swings and lazy with its logic.- Decider

While Agents of Chaos may not come to any concrete conclusions about Russian interference in the 2016 election, it makes a pretty damning case that the Russians definitely had some influence, and that US intelligence officials were slow on the uptake in fighting it.- Decider

If you’re willing to put in the effort, Fleishman Is in Trouble is a rewarding, intentionally maddening, often sweet experience that asks you to reexamine your own relationship with nostalgia. But in order to get to those depths, you need to watch more than a couple of episodes.- Decider

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.- Decider

Landscapers not only benefits from great performances by Colman and Thewlis, but it’s a dark comedy that’s actually howlingly funny in between all of the darkness. That balance is very difficult to achieve.- Decider

Only Murders In The Building, unlike the true crime podcasts the show satirizes, doesn’t go into a sophomore slump after a great first season. Now that its comic rhythms are well-established, it actually feels like the show may be even better in Season 2.- Decider

The story is fairly coherent from beginning to end, even if you make some choices that mean you don’t get to the “winning” solution. But as with the series it came from, we just wish some of the jokes whizzing by our heads were a wee bit funnier instead of just thrown out there to see what lands.- Decider

Gorgeously unsettling tour de force. ... Dead Ringers is an incredible work of art, full of knotty conversations about the give and take of society at all levels. It takes an unapologetically feminine look at the politics, science, and emotion of maternity in the modern medical era. But more than anything else, it’s a brilliant showcase for one Rachel Weisz, who is operating at the top of her game.- Decider
