Fantasmas is a good example of a show where viewers just need to buckle in and enjoy the visual and auditory ride, instead of trying to figure out exactly what is going on. The less you try to compare it to any other show you’ve seen, the more you’ll enjoy this journey through Julio Torres’ head.

Going with animation not only allows us to visualize Notaro’s funny trips down her own Memory Lane, but also enjoy a lighter take on her interaction with the crowd at Largo (dubbed La Venue in Drawn). ... Notaro may be a notoriously dry comedian, perhaps too dry for some tastes? So this also may be your best chance to see her in a completely new light. Or 11 new lights.

I was skeptical going in, but Running With the Wolves cares enough about the actual sport to make you care, too.

Little Ellen is a vibrant, funny show for the PreK set that gives fun lessons in being adaptable and resilient, and viewers should be able to enjoy it, whether they’re fans of DeGeneres or not.

Cannon is a successful moderator because he’s so open about his own struggles with things like anxiety and the loss of his young son, and doesn’t attempt to lighten the mood with many jokes. .... The show is most effective when it tries to make it clear that these vulnerable feelings people have are pretty universal, and when the experts on the show articulate how and why people feel the way they do.

Yo Gabba GabbaLand brings back everything kids loved about the original series, plus expands the gang’s universe, giving them more to explore.

The six-episode conclusion of The Umbrella Academy is a definite STREAM IT.

There’s real quality writing in this series, and we get glimpses into the lives of Marvyn, Holly and the girls on the team from the start. The pilot gives viewers more than enough to immediately sign on and follow how Marvyn and the Sirens (that’s the school mascot) get better together.

Love Life' is pretty good show that has fine performances, starting with an Emmy-worthy turn from Anna Kendrick.
