    Whitford’s casting speaks not only to the care and consideration that goes into each role, but the time and effort put into every aspect of one of the best shows on television. The Diplomat remains on top, even if its primary protagonist lives in a constant state of crisis.
  1. Say Nothing is spectacular television, deftly weaving multiple perspectives together in various timelines to give the viewer the full scope of the Troubles. It’s a show that doesn’t pull its punches, be it in terms of the bleakest moral nadirs of that time or in the sharply hilarious gallows humor of West Belfast. Say Nothing is propulsive, nervy, and FX’s latest must-watch masterpiece.

    The result is a defiantly unpredictable mix of cringe and pathos that delivers a distinct blend of genuine emotion and laugh-out-loud humor. In a streaming world that thrives on conformity, The Rehearsal is the audacious outlier that delivers a wholly unique viewing experience.
  2. Easily the best comedy special of the pandemic, if not the best “content” of any kind from the pandemic that you’ll see, putting everything we’ve felt over the past year and a half, and still feel, as each of us figure out what comes next.
  3. Fellowes has attempted to recapture the magic of Downton Abbey in other projects, like Doctor Thorne and Belgravia. Here, though, he actually pulls it off. Each new episode left me more ravenous for more. ... It has all the escapist charm of the historic costume drama blended with the savage energy of most evening soaps. It is the show Downton Abbey fans have been waiting for.
  4. Just as rambling, hyper-specific, and brilliantly dumb as this series always has been. ... If you love the show for its weirdo characters, Mr. Nimbus will leave you quoting and thrusting to his every line. If sci-fi insanity is more your speed, there’s a time-altering B-plot that is so perfectly Rick and Morty you’ll be shocked the show hasn’t done it before.
  5. Supersex revels in layering these themes in the most seductive ways possible. I soon found myself, like Noemi, happily at the show’s mercy. After plowing through the first two episodes, I was desperate for more. I have a hunch Netflix fans will be, too. Supersex manages to weave together smut and art in intoxicating measure.
  6. Based on the first four episodes that were given to critics, it’s too early to tell if The Old Man will be the indisputable masterpiece is promises to be. Regardless, one thing is clear: FX has something special on its hands.
  7. Falchuk and Wu managed to create a unique and addictive action-comedy that highlights veteran talent and a few fresh faces while seamlessly building the foundation of the complicated history between three very different people.
  8. Hazbin Hotel is very queer, raunchy, and fun. The animated comedy is filled with memorable songs, exciting character arcs, and a thrilling story. The episodes will have you on the edge of your seat, while filling your heart with equal parts joy and angst. Even if it doesn’t sound like it’s fit for you, get it a try.
  9. If you adore these characters as much as I do, Heartstopper Season 2 is, at times, an excruciating watch. But regardless of tone and subject matter, scenes remain laced with love, and Oseman’s world is brimming with heartwarming, romantic, joyous moments that will make you melt.
  10. The chilling tale of how we started fighting the same battles we’re still struggling with in 2020.
  11. The Witcher Season 2 is the best kind of adaptation. It takes something known and creates something wholly unique while always respecting its source material. No matter if you’ve read and played everything or if you’re entirely new to this world, you’re going to have a blast.
  12. Wood is a consummate pro as a stand-up, not afraid of any audience. He even sticks the landing with not only one killer callback, but also an actual call back.
  13. 9/11: One Day In America is tough to watch. But it very effectively brings back the feelings from that harrowing day, even as it highlights the moments of kindness that filtered through all the darkness and death. It’s a great illustration of what that day was like and should be shown to students for decades to come.
  14. The alchemy of Season 1 was the intense chemistry Anderson and Reid shared. Zaman, Hayles, and Bogosian are all ferocious scene partners for Anderson, but none of them come close to capturing the lightning storm that is Louis and Lestat. That said, Interview With the Vampire remains the rarest of treats on television. It’s a soapy, gothic fairy tale full of sensuality, gore, and incredible performances.
  15. Friends: The Reunion completely redefines how we should view sitcom reunions moving forward, and it sets the bar so high that I truly don’t know if any other get together can ever top it.
  16. While refusing to resolve the show’s existential drama in a simple, easy way. It’s messy, magnificent, and a fitting conclusion to the sensational story that started back in 2021.
  17. It’s gratifying to see Chris Fleming stay true to the vision he had starting out in stand-up two decades ago and be richly rewarded for it. Strap in and enjoy the ride!
  18. Thanks to a fine performance by Whishaw and a well-struck balance between the funny and tragic, This Is Going To Hurt has the potential to be one of the best new series of 2022.
  19. We give Quinta Brunson a lot of credit for not standing on her laurels for Abbott Elementary‘s third season. Even though she’s shaken things up a little bit, the show still seems to be at the top of its game, and we hope that continues through Season 3.

    This doc sets itself apart by honoring and respecting the victims of the incident while never losing its gripping true crime charm. .... The constant back-and-forth of the investigation with each new piece of evidence brought to light gets you to wonder what truly happened, even if you already know.
  20. Muppets Now gives us the purest Muppet content in a very long time. ... Muppets Now is the total spiritual successor to the groundbreaking and iconic ’70s Muppet Show. Truly, the variety show of yesteryear would be a playlist of totally bonkers YouTube vids today.
  21. A Small Light is an extraordinary story about a historic figure people don’t know a lot about, with a compelling lead performance from Powley.

    Whether you’re a fan of Jujutsu Kaisen or you simply love beautifully animated, eye-catching visuals, from the first episode alone, Jujutsu Kaisen: Season 3 cements itself as engrossing, intense, and well worth your time.
  22. Raw and impactful, the new season will keep viewers on their toes in more ways than one.
  23. So far GdT’s CoC is terrific, and future outings hold even greater promise. STREAM IT, I say, and stream the HELL out of it.
  24. The satire of Avenue 5 isn’t quite as sharp as some of Iannucci's other shows were right out of the gate, but there’s more than enough good stuff there to keep us curious as to where he’s going to take this story.
  25. Normal People will punch you in the gut just as much as it embraces you in a hug.
  26. At every turn in An Evening With, Dua Lipa finds ways to add interesting touches to her most memorable songs. .... It works wonders visually. From Dua Lipa, to the musicians, to the lively Royal Albert audience, there is palpable joy in the room.
