  1. No longer just a spinoff, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds goes boldly into its second season with terrific crew chemistry, more far-flung adventures on tap, and even more depth added to characters who already feel like classics.

    Whipsmart, funny, and audacious from start to finish, Hacks Season 5 will keep you laughing and guessing until the last moment. .... Much like Smart, the show ends by cementing its legacy as one of the greatest comedies of the 21st century.
  2. This show honors them and their hard work and you can’t help but feel it in your heart.
  3. If the only reason why you watch The Responder is to see Martin Freeman barely hold it together, then it’s a pretty good reason to watch the show. The rest of the plot is incidental to a performance by Freeman that utilizes all of his copious ability to be the aggrieved everyman who’s ready to crack at any moment.
  4. Netflix’s new version of The Baby-Sitters Club is a total triumph. It’s sweet, funny, hopeful, but most of all, encouraging. The message to girls, young and old, is that we are stronger together. The Baby-Sitters Club might be a pitch perfect show for kids and tweens, but it’s sure to become a feel-good obsession for grown women and men alike. It’s that good.
  5. 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.
  6. Rain Dogs promises to be an interesting examination in a certain kind of found family that’s by turns darkly funny and warmly inspiring.
  7. Yet another spectacularly bold, absolutely brilliant, and shamelessly brash season of television, but it’s also darker, grander, and more culturally relevant than any season of the show before.
  8. It won’t really make sense of you haven’t already seen I Hate Suzie season one. If you’ve already seen that, you’re definitely going to want to STREAM IT. (If you haven’t seen it, I suggest you binge all the available episodes this weekend.) This new Christmas-ish extension of the show dives deeper into Suzie’s turmoil and tragedy and it’s a marvel to watch Piper toggle between her emotions so seamlessly.
  9. Severance Season 2 is exemplary.
  10. Tim Robinson’s new series of psychotic vignettes are just as funny (if not more so, on occasion) as his first season, and that’s largely thanks to some genuinely unhinged writing and an amazing group of guest stars.
  11. With much of its principal cast back in the saddle, Borgen: Power & Glory is a welcome return for a terrific Danish political thriller that hasn’t let up the tension since its 2010 premiere.
  12. The chilling tale of how we started fighting the same battles we’re still struggling with in 2020.
  13. Kogonada and Justin Chon’s direction, Soo Hugh’s writing, and the work of Pachinko’s outstanding ensemble cast weave together a story that is both huge in scope and humble in its beauty. Pachinko is perfectly exquisite (though not quite perfect) and will stick with you long after the credits roll.
  14. It’s another series by Vince Gilligan that’s both visually and dramatically compelling to watch, especially with Rhea Seehorn being featured throughout.
  15. In its second season Tuca & Bertie is unafraid to get deep, and we’re all better for it.
  16. Servant of the People is a surprisingly fun watch for an American viewer — a political fish-out-of-water comedy in the vein of movies like Dave, Bulworth or Head of State.
  17. The funniest show on TV is back for its final season. ... The show is as fantastic as it always was. ... It's a fitting end to the chapter and thankfully it hasn't lost any of its charm, punchy dialogue, or hilarious performances during the time off.
  18. Little America continues to give positive stories about the immigrant experience in the U.S. without glossing over problems or covering things over with a thick layer of sweetness. The stories are inspirational but grounded in reality, and the second season is as entertaining as the first.
  19. Season 3 finds Spear, dead but not down, on a journey he doesn’t know the shape of, which only means more opportunity for this series’ already impressive animation and storytelling.
  20. Pachinko continues to be a show that deftly handles its sprawling settings and themes to make for a compelling multi-generational drama.
  21. We’re not investing in the stakes of the missions Archer and the team take on. We’re investing in all of the goofs, crass moments, and self-involved absurdities that come along with it. That’s what was funny in 2009, and it’s funny in 2023 as Archer prepares to shut it all down.
  22. Painting With John does take some getting used to, but once you’re into the show’s rhythms, it feels like a relaxing way to end your day.
  23. The Other Two is so dense with jokes, even if not every single one hits, it’s consistently, reliably funny. Between the industry humor, the gifted physical comedy, and the characters who are ever-evolving, the show is still reliably sharp, dark, and full of surprises.
  24. 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.
  25. Industry Season 3 is a fabulous level up for an already great show. The impressive ensemble cast continues to excavate the beautiful, broken characters the[y] play.
  26. A story that’s full of drama and emotion, punctuated with moments of comedy that are truly dark.
  27. 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.
  28. Michaela Coel is a riveting actor, and talented writer and both come to the fore in I May Destroy You. We’re looking forward to seeing how she deals with the issues of consent and sexual assault on the series, all the while doing so with a sardonic bent that this topic usually doesn’t receive. The balance she tries to achieve will be fascinating to watch.
  29. The Charles and Diana soap opera shines in part because of its built-in cache, but mostly because Josh O’Connor and Emma Corrin are the season’s standouts. ... Less impressive is Gillian Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher. ... But it’s a credit to showrunner Peter Morgan and Emma Corrin herself that Princess Di doesn’t takeover the entire show. There are still standalone episodes devoted to peculiar moments for the monarchy.
