  1. It’s those little, often subtle gags, that keep the audience from sinking into Beth’s depression along with her. That effort to alleviate some of the heaviness helps us go along on the journey Beth is going to take without making her seem like she doesn’t appreciate what she has.
  2. While the episode with McElhenny, Waters and Konkle was funny, the episode that starred Grant was funny and heartwarming.
  3. Mayflies is an affecting story of a friendship tested by end-of-life issues, with some fantastic performances from Compston, Curran and Jensen.
  4. You don’t have to be a gamer to enjoy Players, even though the inside references will likely give gamers a smile. It’s a classic story about the veteran being displaced by an overconfident rookie, and it’s one that’s executed well.
  5. Despite being stretched to the hilt, Spy High still tells a compelling story about a school district that went too far and a brash family that was not afraid to fight back.
  6. A quality supporting cast and a light sense of humor also helps. Not every aspect of the show is light and airy, but it seems to know when it needs to be serious and when it needs to lighten things up. Because of this, Three Pines give viewers an interesting murder case to follow, quirky small-town folks with secrets, and a more serious case that tests its main character’s abilities.
  7. Stumble is not only funny, but it has a surprising amount of heart and character-based humor, and our hope is that it’ll improve on both factors after a strong start.
  8. Asura doesn’t depict this family’s secrets as melodrama or a bustling mystery to be unraveled, it slowly and methodically lets us get to know these well-drawn characters. The family is not dysfunctional in an unrelatable way, like the Roys on Succession or Yellowstone‘s duplicitous Duttons, what’s so engaging is the fact that their problems, and the emotions that spill out as a result, are entirely possible and could happen to any of us.
  9. Drestzin has done her job. ... If you want insight into a closed society that is only known via blaring headlines, then watch Keep Sweet: Pray And Obey. Just be ready for a narrative that will make you uncomfortable and angry at the same time.
  10. Oswalt’s comedy will put you at ease for an hour.
  11. Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. is a delightful remake of a well-loved ’80s show that immediately distinguishes itself from the original by its setting and the well-thought-out cast of characters.
  12. Vikings: Valhalla is rich with history, the gore and glory of battle, and lusty romance. But its ensemble cast is also uniformly strong, with characters on all sides of the geopolitical and religious struggles at the heart of Valhalla having gained some valuable perspective.
  13. Bridget Everett’s subtle and charming performance is just one reason we like Somebody Somewhere. The first episode also does a good job setting up a great ensemble that we look forward to getting to know.
  14. The interview with Gacy is what makes John Wayne Gacy: Devil In Disguise so fascinating; it certainly paints a different picture of him than what viewers are likely used to, well beyond the Killer Clown archetype that has been how he’s been characterized over the past four decades.
  15. While the writing in Time is strong, the performances by Bean and Graham are what will connect with viewers.
  16. 100 Foot Wave continues to combine its personal touch with the lives and careers of a unique and driven group of world-class athletes with gorgeous, award-winning cinematography. Like the big wave surfers themselves, it has a healthy respect for the majesty and danger of the sea.
  17. Oscar De La Hoya’s story is a compelling one, and one that many people familiar with the boxer still haven’t heard. The Golden Boy is a capable, well-crafted retelling of this story.
  18. Leonardo Da Vinci breathes new life into the artist’s legend; Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon have painted a pretty complete picture of a man who was much more than the sum of his most famous works.
  19. Under The Bridge has more than enough complications to make for compelling drama, and the first episode gives viewers just enough information about the case to hook them in without getting them frustrated.
  20. While not as enjoyable as Season 1, Season 2 of Schmigadoon! still has a lot going for it, especially if you’re a theater buff who felt that the 1960s — and especially the 1970s — was when Broadway was at its peak.
  21. The mood is taut and tense as the final six episodes of Top Boy play out, with Dushane and Sully vying for control of the East London drug trade and the Summerhouse estate existing at the center of a changing social climate.
  22. It would be funny if it wasn’t utterly terrifying.
  23. Primo is a fun, feelgood family sitcom that shows a type of family that we rarely see on TV.
  24. If you’ve ever wondered why you never won more than free french fries while playing Monopoly, you’ll want to watch this docuseries.
  25. Dreaming Whilst Black is a funny take on how following your ambitions is much harder when you’re Black and facing a world of institutional racism, but the show doesn’t hesitate to give its main characters their own ambition-stalling quirks, as well.
  26. Solar Opposites is weird enough in its own unique way to separate it from all the other animated comedies out there, and its anarchic vibe might be just the ridiculous distraction you’re looking for right now.
  27. What this version of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe lacks in nostalgia it more than makes up for with smart dialogue, good CGI, and its ability to start building the world of Eternia from scratch with a compelling story.
  28. It’ll be an entertaining May the Fourth binge, and likely an engrossing one for Star Wars fans of all levels.
  29. Kite Man: Hell Yeah! is a STREAM IT, especially if you’re already versed in the brash and bloodsoaked goings-on of the Harley Quinn animated series. This is a fun, foul-mouthed send-up of the superhero genre with expressive voice acting and a gleeful murderous streak that guarantees its NSFW-ness.
  30. The Hillside Strangler: Devil In Disguise is a straightforward retelling of the famous serial killer case. But it definitely gives information and perspectives that people who paid attention to the case four decades ago might not have either gotten or remembered.
