  1. Polo is a mostly boring look at a sport that very few people outside of elite circles have any particular interest in.
  2. Although there are laughs to be had in this hour-plus, this is as much church revival as it is comedy special.
  3. 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.
  4. The jury’s out on how many episodes Paris Has Fallen can sustain the relative juice imported from the Has Fallen movies. If there is a core HFU fanbase rising up for this small screen continuance, that contingent should be happy. But as action-thriller stuff goes, Paris Has Fallen in general feels kinda basic.
  5. An intense and funny performance by Margo Martindale is the highlight of The Sticky, but the idea that this crazy heist story could go just about anywhere is what’s the most intriguing thing about it.
  6. While the near-future shown in Tomorrow + I might be a little dystopian, it’s far from bleak, and that little sliver of hope is always welcome in a show like this.
  7. Jentry Chau Vs. The Underworld boasts a good story, a fun visual style and fine voice performances from Wong, Yang and Chinn.
  8. Churchill At War does a good job at repackaging well-examined material in enough of a new way to keep viewers engaged, and maybe even learn some things about Winston Churchill they didn’t already know.
  9. We continue to enjoy Dalgliesh because of Bertie Carvel’s grimace-filled empathetic portrayal of Adam Dalgliesh. We just wish we had more info about the detective and somewhat more tightly-written mysteries.
  10. Creature Commandos features a ton of James Gunn’s trademark wit and sweetness, lots of gleeful destruction, an adult-animation-worthy helping of boobs and butts and stuff, and for comic book heads, a shared visual aesthetic and the deliberate centering of oddball characters straight off the page.
  11. Black Doves isn’t going to blow you away with some revolutionary spy story. But the story is intriguing enough, and is improved by the chemistry between Knightley and Whishaw, with a big assist from Lancashire.
  12. Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a fun watch, with Colin Jost a natural at the hosting podium. It may not make Jeopardy purists happy, but casual fans will certainly like the show, because at least there’s a good chance they’ll be able to provide questions to most of the answers.
  13. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is beautifully-made and sweetly innocent, making it a radically rebellious take on a franchise that sometimes seems lost in its own lore.
  14. Colman Domingo brings a veracity and intensity to his character in The Madness that elevates what is potentially a run-of-the-mill thriller. But so far, the show isn’t giving us any reason to think it’s getting ridiculous, which is a good thing.
  15. Like we said, the cast of The Agency carries the show, but we’re not sure how much the stories will hold viewer interest unless they quickly get more interesting.
  16. STREAM IT, but only for the fantastic racing scenes. If you’re looking for a show that’s got any drama that happens off the track, Senna will probably disappoint.
  17. Get Millie Black is fascinating not only because of its Jamaican setting but Lawrance’s performance as someone trying to figure out her place as much as she’s trying to figure out the case at hand.
  18. Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey fills in blanks in the JonBenét Ramsey case that have faded over the decades, and brings information to light that gives an indication that the case could still end up being solved.
  19. Gaffigan is a proven comedy commodity who gives just about anyone a good reason to check out Hulu if they’re not already regularly on that platform.
  20. While we still like seeing Cuoco and the rest of the cast of Based On A True Story, we’re still not buying that the Season 2 story will be as good as what we saw in Season 1.
  21. Cruel Intentions tries to be edgy but only ends up being eye-rollingly bad, with characters that are very easily hateable and stakes that are so low, you wonder why everyone is expending all this energy in the first place.

    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.

    A Man on the Inside is a breezy and fun septuagenarian shenanigan tale from start to finish.
  22. Our Oceans is a fascinating look at the environment that takes up the vast majority of our planet, the ecosystems that exist under the surface, and the manmade threats the oceans face.
  23. We like Interior Chinatown enough to look past the “stuck in a cop show” conceit, but we just hope it doesn’t weigh the show down as the season continues.
  24. There is some inherent cheesiness to the scripted parts of Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints, but the stories try to ground themselves in human reality, and Scorsese’s presents adds his gravitas and genuine curiosity about faith and the Catholic church.
  25. 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.
  26. Landman is pretty much a standard-grade Taylor Sheridan production, but Thornton makes it very watchable, even as he spends half of the first episode making speeches.
  27. Dune: Prophecy has more than enough, between all the scheming between houses and the performances of Watson and Williams, to recommend it, but we just wish it had taken a different tack on the story of Bene Gesserit than the one it chose.
  28. I was entertained by The Creep Tapes. It all pretty much depends on Duplass to make us laugh and creep us out, and he delivers.
