  1. Elite is already stirring up its component parts for a satisfyingly spicy, gossipy, and bloody series conclusion.
  2. Excuse Me, I Love You is admirably performance-heavy. While the snippets of crosstalk and behind-the-scenes chatter are fun, and will certainly be revealing for fans (the choreography rehearsals are particularly interesting), it’s a thrill to see and hear all of the singer’s most giant singles come to life onstage, complete with that elaborate choreo to go with each one.
  3. Steeped in blood, sopped in whiskey, and lit in brooding pools of yellow and gray, Peaky Blinders is mood TV escapism with a satisfying historical bent.
  4. Once again, Time does a good job of showing inmates as humans, and how their lives suffer on the inside as they deal with real-life problems happening on the outside.
  5. If you’re a basketball fan, you’re surely familiar with the broad strokes of Bill Russell’s greatness, but if you want the whole story, Bill Russell: Legend is a worthwhile telling of it.
  6. It’s like a nice light dessert after all the heavy fare the network offers. We love seeing and hearing from the intensely uncomfortable Wilson, and marvel at how his filmmaking instincts take him in very strange and interesting directions.
  7. Hip Hop Uncovered has found a great angle to make the history of hip hop fresh again. It doesn’t hurt that the filmmakers get perspectives from so many big names about the history of the genre and the power brokers who made it work behind the scenes.
  8. There was nothing quite like American Gladiators in its prime, and The American Gladiators Documentary captures the magic, weirdness and spectacle of it all in an entertaining and nostalgic package.
  9. After watching the first three episodes of Euphoria Season 3, it’s unclear whether there’s hope for Rue and her friends, but there’s definitely a chance this polarizing HBO show might end its run on an incandescent high note.
  10. Wanted: The Escape Of Carlos Ghosn is slightly padded, with a couple of interludes about Ghosn’s family history that don’t connect by the end of the series. But it’s mostly riveting, showing just how Ghosn managed to get the better of the Japanese justice system, for better or for worse.
  11. Lessons In Chemistry contains layers of ingredients that build on and play off of each other: romance, drama, history, the second wave of feminism, all snuggled neatly into a 13 x 9 pan. When combined, they’re all greater than the sum of their parts.
  12. The fact that they [the Stidhams] did sit down to talk to the filmmakers makes the docuseries 200% better. And that’s mostly due to the magnetic and somewhat unhinged personality of DeAnn Stidham.
  13. The second season of Landman is stronger than the first, mainly because the women on the show are in a stronger position than they were last season, giving Thornton’s Tommy all he can handle.
  14. In its first hour, The Outlaws manages to have a bunch of funny moments, one or two thrills, and tells more than enough about its ensemble to keep us watching.
  15. Bad Surgeon: Love Under The Knife is going to detail this two part fraud on the part of Macchiarini, and it’s a compelling watch.

    Kaiju No. 8: Season 2 appears to have the vibrant visuals, exciting characters, and twisting plot to keep viewers hooked from start to finish. At the very least, it certainly knows how to pull you in and keep you wanting more. This genre might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you liked Kaiju No. 8: Season 1 or similar anime series, then you should enjoy this too.
  16. Finding Alice strikes the right balance between drama and comedy, sadness and laughter, with a fine performance by Keeley Hawes at its center.
  17. All of this suspicion and continuous threat of violence makes Snowfall an unsettling, utterly compelling watch, since it’s removed its own set of guarantees.
  18. Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution emphasizes the beats and songs that built a classic sound, and the communities, often marginalized or under-represented, who did the hard work – and all of the dancing! – to bring it to life by the light of a turning glitterball, before the music ever went slick and mainstream.

    Believe it or not, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 might be even better than Season 1.
  19. The mystery of Blood & Water is interesting enough to keep us watching, but the performances of Qamata and Ngema just make the show that much better.
  20. Does Boarders say anything new? That’s yet to be seen. But even if it treads well-worn ground, it does so in a way that’s witty and funny, with just enough drama to let the audience know that the stakes for these five teens are pretty high.
  21. The first episode of Buried draws viewers in by getting them on Eileen Franklin’s side, which will have even more impact once the other three episodes, detailing the trial’s aftermath, start to chip away at their initial confidence.
  22. UnPrisoned is a funny show that deals with some pretty heavy generational issues, and while it still rides on the fantastic chemistry between Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo, the rest of the cast is getting some meaty material, as well.
  23. There are multiple reasons why Wedding Season works so well. The first are the two leads. ... It feels like an adventure that’ll be fun to watch. Lyttelton has also done a good job sketching out the supporting characters.
  24. This season of Sweet Magnolias spends a bit of time establishing new relationships and professional roles for most of its characters, giving these established, well-loved characters a chance to branch out and explore things they haven’t done before, while still being the reliable, cozy comfort-fest we love.
  25. Elizabeth Is Missing is a film that will leave you depressed, especially after the final scene, but happy you were able to watch the great Glenda Jackson put in a great late-in-life performance.
  26. Cooked With Cannabis shows that there are other ways to use the flavorful nature of pot than just baking it into brownies or making it into gummy bears.
  27. Wayward has two very compelling lead performances from Martin and Collette, and a good balance between the dark and the darkly funny.
  28. The drama has everything to keep viewers invested, turned on, and watching, potentially even in one sitting. It’s a fun, steamy escape and who would dare pass up one of those?
