  1. After you watch it, you’ll be more aware of just what can go wrong, even when people’s lives are on the line.
  2. The episodes of Through Our Eyes are short but informative, not because they’re crammed with statistics, but because they feature kids who are going through real-life issues and managing to live full childhoods despite their circumstances.
  3. This show is equally as fun as its bright young cast, and it depicts enough of a twist on the classic coming out story that you’ll want to watch more.
  4. While Intelligence’s first episode could have been a skosh funnier, Mohammed, Schwimmer and the rest of the cast do such a strong job of embodying their characters that we’re eager to see where things go.
  5. Avenue 5 packs its half-hour episodes with laughs and a kind of manic absurdity that’s well-positioned to carry this comedy in whatever direction its hapless luxury space liner is pushed in next.
  6. Abbott Elementary is not only funny, but its pilot sets up a workplace family that can endure for multiple seasons.
  7. In its riot of visuals and breathless narrative, the 29-minute premiere of Guardians of Justice packs quite a punch.
  8. Outer Banks season four is charging ahead with a solid new adventure while leaning into the cast of characters these actors have honed and developed over the past four years. The chemistry between all of these personalities feels real, and there’s a creaky, spooky vibe surrounding their new mission that adds to the fun.
  9. If you don’t go in looking for bombshells from Harry or other superstars, The Me You Can’t See is a revealing look at mental illness and how our awareness of how pervasive it is in its many forms is just starting to develop.
  10. Moonshine is a fun show with a dreamy, summer vibe, solid performances from Finnigan and the rest of the cast, and just enough darkness and drama to make things interesting.
  11. Chad works mainly because Pedrad doesn’t treat her role as a gimmick, and has built a world around Chad that will be fodder for stories this season and (hopefully) however many other seasons the show gets.
  12. Interview With The Vampire is still a bit melodramatic in its manner and baroque in its language, despite the time shift from the novels and film. But it reestablishes its story so well that we can see it continuing for a number of seasons.
  13. We feel like Liam Hemsworth fills the boots of Geralt of Rivia just fine, and are quite enjoying the action sequences and touches of humor as The Witcher returns for Season 4.
  14. Elon Musk’s Crash Course is yet another example of how The New York Times Presents concisely presents complicated news stories in a fast-moving, compelling package that gives viewers more than enough depth to understand the issue and who the players are.
  15. The reason why James May: Our Man In India works is that May is curious, witty and humble, a fantastic combination for the host of a travel series.
  16. Even Chappelle admits near the end: “This is not funny at all.” But it needed to be said. And this could only be said by Chappelle.
  17. The series features insightful conversations with fascinating public figures, and is genuinely educational.
  18. It’s not a stretch to say that Tehran is certainly a good-looking, well-acted series. Sultan is excellent as the conflicted Tamar, and Toub, whom Americans have seen in Homeland and a ton of other shows, does a great job as Kamali.
  19. The Crossover is a warm family dramedy with just enough of the drama part to keep us interested in following the Bells as they navigate life, school and hoops.
  20. Despite the fact that the huge cast and massive number of storylines made us dizzy, Rivals is deliciously and unapologetically trashy, and we have to give the show credit for that.
  21. Somehow, Boy Swallows Universe pulls off a pretty dark coming-of-age story without being depressing or hopeless, thanks to some deft writing and fantastic performances by the cast.
  22. Syfy Wire’s The Great Debate is one of those shows that’s funny, moves quickly, and helps give you something light to watch in between all the heavy stuff that’s going on these days. And any place that mentions Bad Dudes and Burgertime (thanks, Brian Posehn, for the second item) is aces in our book.
  23. With season 3 of Dave, it’s no longer possible to discern any lines between the Lil Dicky of TV, the real life/YouTube Lil Dicky, and Dave Burd – a real, human man who created both personas and is at his best when acting as the Dave behind the Dicky, a person who just wants to feel seen.
  24. The Sex Lives Of College Girls continues the good vibes in Season 2, with a well-oiled comedic ensemble and an easygoing charm that makes the show very bingeable.
  25. This series of live talk shows demonstrates why Mulaney would’ve been and still remains a great candidate to anchor anything like Update.
  26. The best thing about Dexter: New Blood is that it is unapologetically fun. The episodes sent to critics are full of dark — borderline campy — humor and some truly compelling human drama.
  27. Moon Knight rides on Oscar Isaac’s ability to believably inhabit distinct personalities, but that might be more than enough for people to watch this six-episode MCU side story.
  28. Poker Face sometimes indulges itself in the cult of personality of its guest murderers and Charlie’s BS detector skills at the sacrifice of making a more intricate case for her to solve. But Lyonne always puts in a winning performance and the guest killers are fun to watch, which is why mystery nerds like us don’t get frustrated watching the series.
  29. Yes, seeing Carol’s elderly parents in the buff, doing the things that throuples do with their burly aide Michael, is funny. But it’s also poignant; even at their advanced age, Carol’s parents are doing the things they never got to do simply because it’s everyone’s last chance. But Carol’s desire for maintaining her routine makes us like her all the more.
  30. Taste The Nation With Padma Lakshmi won’t make anyone forget about Bourdain and his various shows, but it’s well-shot, Lakshmi is a warm and knowledgeable host, and the food she discovers is both comforting and surprising.
