  1. Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror: Season 1
    It feels like Turning Point takes a half-measure, going over that day in some detail but glossing over what truly made it horrifying to the people who lived through it or people like us, who were just in the tri-state area. ... If you’re interested in either a 9/11 documentary or a War on Terror documentary, there are better ones out there than Turning Point: 9/11 And The War On Terror, which tries to go into both in depth and accomplishes very little that’s new.
  2. Controlling Britney Spears
    Controlling Britney Spears is equal parts shocking and infuriating, a necessary examination of the reality of the pop icon’s conservatorship and why so many have been calling for her freedom for so long.
  3. Sweet Tooth: Season 3
    If you’ve stuck with Sweet Tooth to this point, there is nothing about the final season that would make you stay away from completing the story.
  4. Deli Boys: Season 1
    Because of the funny moments, and the idea that these two coddled young men are now going to have to get into hardcore criminal activity, we are feeling pretty good about the prospects that the first season of Deli Boys will be entertaining.
  5. Angelyne: Season 1
    The storytelling of Angelyne leaves a lot to be desired, but Rossum’s performance cuts through the script gymnastics, making us curious about what parts of Angelyne’s life the series will explore.
  6. World On Fire: Season 1
    World On Fire is certainly a character-driven drama, but those characters, and the fine performances that shape them, are more than enough to work through the disjointed first episode and see where their lives go as World War II grows in scope and danger.
  7. Schmigadoon!: Season 1
    Schmigadoon! is silly, sweet, sharp, and most of all, sensational. It’s just the latest in a string of Apple TV+ comedies to balance wit and heart.
  8. Phoenix Rising
    It goes without saying that Evan Rachel Wood’s story is a tough one, and the fact that she’s decided to put it all out there in Phoenix Rising makes the docuseries all the more worth watching.
  9. Acapulco (2021): Season 1
    Acapulco is definitely not a high-key comedy by any means. But the character-driven story will lure yo
  10. Everything I Know About Love: Season 1
    The friendship at the center of Everything I Know About Love is what is going to fuel the show and keep it flying off into just showing hipster nonsense. But the first episode felt much longer than its 43-minute runtime because of all that hipster nonsense.
  11. The Confessions of Frannie Langton
    The Confessions Of Frannie Lanington succeeds because of the performance of Karla-Simone Spence, despite some disjoined storytelling that leaves viewers in the dark about some aspects of the story.
  12. Loki: Season 1
    Loki is a surrealist, kafkaesque mashup of True Detective and The Office—and it is a sight to behold. ... The show should not work, but it does. Loki (the series) was burdened with glorious purpose from the start and, unlike Loki (the character), you can consider that purpose fulfilled.
  13. Bad Monkey: Season 1
    Bad Monkey has a bit of a shaggy feel to it, with potential to fly off in a lot of different directions and a lot of characters to keep track of. But if anyone can keep a show like this on point, it’s Lawrence and his crew.
  14. The English: Season 1
    Despite the languid pace of the first episode, the unique perspectives at play in The English make it different enough from your standard Western to make it interesting.
  15. MADOFF: The Monster of Wall Street: Season 1
    Despite the distracting reenactments, Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street imparts a lot of good information about Madoff’s psyche, the structure of his Ponzi scheme, and why people invested in it in the first place.
  16. Holding: Season 1
    Holding tweaks the small-town murder formula a bit by giving the mystery to a middle-aged, out-of-shape cop who is self-medicating with food instead of booze or drugs. Between that tweak and the performances of the main characters, it makes for an enjoyable, lightly comedic mystery.

    The New York Times Presents: Sin Eater: The Crimes of Anthony Pellicano
    From end to end, Sin Eater is a fascinating look at a man who is really only the tip of the spear for a rotten system. Pellicano makes for a perfect documentary subject, both for what he did and what he reveals about an industry that is nowhere near as far from its scandalous heyday as we are led to believe.
  18. Gen V: Season 2
    We’re hyped to see how our heroes will confront the latest Vought threat. Confidence in themselves and their powers is growing.
  19. The North Water: Season 1
    We suspect that the remaining four episodes of the limited series will pick up, as the ship actually fulfills its doomed mission as an insurance claim. But if you want to get a good idea about the main two characters, the first episode does a fine job setting things up.

    Burden of Proof
    Burden of Proof offers a different way to do true crime storytelling, emphasizing the toll that uncertainty takes on those experiencing it in the wake of an unsolved disappearance. It offers no easy answers to the kidnapping of Jennifer Pandos nor the strife left behind in her absence. But it uses that lack of conviction as a compelling plea for compassion.
  21. The Gilded Age: Season 3
    It’s an upscale version of the classic primetime soap and one that’s perfect to get lost in when real life drama is too much.
  22. Criminal Record: Season 1
    Cush Jumbo and her character are the reasons why we’re going to keep watching Criminal Record. Not that we hate Peter Capaldi’s character, but at the outset he feels much more generic than Jumbo’s character, and given that the two of them face off during the entire season, that could end up being a big problem.
  23. Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill
    Watching Jerry Before Seinfeld may feel more comforting in this moment than watching 23 Hours To Kill. But whether you think he’s great or he sucks, well, you’re not far off from the truth, either way.
  24. Hip Hop Uncovered
    Hip Hop Uncovered has found a great angle to make the history of hip hop fresh again. It doesn’t hurt that the filmmakers get perspectives from so many big names about the history of the genre and the power brokers who made it work behind the scenes.
  25. The Afterparty: Season 2
    Once again, The Afterparty has a funny ensemble that plays to their strengths in a solid format.
  26. Kite Man: Hell Yeah!: Season 1
    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.
  27. Starstruck (2021): Season 2
    Season 2 of Starstruck takes the show from the novelty of the star-regular-person dynamic of the first season and concentrates on the chemistry of the ensemble, which is the sign of a maturing show.
  28. The Umbrella Academy: Season 3
    The Umbrella Academy never met a time traveling wrinkle it didn’t like, and for season three, there’s a lot of fallout to sort through. But with strong characters both old and new, there’s plenty of reason to see it through.
  29. Matlock (2024): Season 1
    Because of Bates, Matlock is certainly entertaining to watch. But would the show be equally entertaining if she wasn’t there? We’re not sure.
  30. Twisted Metal: Season 2
    Twisted Metal has improved because it remembered that character development is as important as anything else, and it makes the show a lot less mentally tiring to watch.
