  1. The creepiness of the unknown enemy in The Eternaut is what drives this show, even as Salvo and other survivors get together to try to fight whoever it is they’re fighting, and we’re here for it.
  2. Murder Among The Mormons is a fascinating look at some of the inner workings of the Mormon Church, even if the filmmakers were more interested in the story around the document trade than the church itself.
  3. The first two episodes are off to a promising start, and we hope that the quality carries through to the end of the season. Based on what we’ve seen, we’re confident in saying that Rick and Morty is back and better than ever, broh.
  4. Crazy Delicious is your new cooking show obsession.
  5. The Woman In The Wall succeeds because of the lead performance by Ruth Wilson as well as the grey areas that the tragedy of the Magdalene Laundries caused.
  6. Much like last year’s version, this one retains a mix of the early years of Jimmy Kimmel Live! with the spirit of Saturday Night Live, broken up by footage of Los Angeles and its inhabitants talking to the camera as if they were extras in How To With John Wilson. .... Thank goodness for any differences he’s bringing to the format!
  7. Even though we don’t completely buy the chemistry between Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, Nobody Wants This is funny enough, and the supporting characters robust enough, to keep us watching to see if Bell and Brody’s characters mesh a little better.
  8. For fans of Westeros — its incestuous soap opera, lavish world-building, and theatrical tragedy — House of the Dragon Season 2 delivers everything you love and then some. It’s I, Claudius with movie monsters, medieval history sprinkled with magic. .... House of the Dragon Season 2 is spectacular to behold, even if what’s unfolding is absolutely terrible.
  9. Starz’s latest female-focused costume drama does excel at showing audiences that the formidable Queen Elizabeth was not the only extraordinary woman vying for power. The best part of Becoming Elizabeth might not be what it tells us about the legendary ruler, but how it lets the complex women in her orbit shine.
  10. We trust Greg Garcia to not beat a dead horse with pandemic gags on Sprung. But for the first episode, they are a good way to introduce the story of Jack and the rest of the characters, and Garcia is well on the way to establishing character humor as the center of the series.
  11. Yes, Boots is in many ways similar to many “misfits in the military” comedies that have been a staple of TV for decades. But entertaining characters will always be the key to making a show in this genre work, and this show has plenty of them.
  12. Fallout does a good job drawing viewers into its expansive world without needing a ton of exposition to explain what’s going on. It helps that the show is visually stunning and filled with fine performances by Goggins, Purnell and others.
  13. The second season of Percy Jackson And The Olympians starts off with a raucous episode and promises to send its heroes on a new quest immediately, which is exactly what an adventure series where we already know everyone should do.
  14. It’s easy to get hung up on the choice to recreate Chamberlain’s voice, but love that choice or hate it, Goliath is a first-rate piece of sports documentary filmmaking, one worthy of its titanic subject.
  15. While it may take you awhile to figure out how everyone in Miss Austen is connected to each other, the performances of Hawes as the older Cassandra and Ferran as the young Jane will keep you interested in the story.
  16. Kathryn Hahn makes Tiny Beautiful Things a compelling watch, mainly because she’s so good at playing someone barely holding things together. But the rest of the series, especially the flashback sequences, give us a pretty full picture of why her character continues to spiral.
  17. Gen V has some well-drawn characters and a compelling young cast. Its storytelling is a bit spotty in the first episode, but the other factors are more than enough to keep us watching.
  18. The world of Fallout expands in Season 2, but all of it still feels focused on the overall story of a post-apocalyptic world created by greed and avarice trying to survive.

    The incisive writing and nuanced performances combine to make Heels one of the most entertaining shows of the summer. ... Amell and Ludwig are the headliners but Heels is bolstered by its exceptional undercard.
  19. The Drowning has some aspects that are a little on the unbelievable side, but for the most part it’s a well-written, well-acted psychological mystery.
  20. The Chair is funny as heck with some earned moments of real emotion, and a killer cast. Six episodes flew by, and we hope to see more of Pembroke’s English department soon.
  21. A Murder at the End of the World is here for your wintertime whodunit watching, with a terrific lead performance from Emma Corrin, a strong cast throughout – while they’re still living, anyway! – and layers of forward-looking tech and classic mystery elements to pick at and peel.
  22. While The Snoopy Show isn’t the Peanuts comeback some diehard fans might want, it’s still fun to watch Snoopy, Woodstock and the gang hang out together, even if the episodes are more kid oriented than usual.
  23. More often than not, that structure comes off stiff and clunky rather than genuine and flowing. ... That’s not to say that the dialogue from Gaby Chiappe, who adapted Cecil Day-Lewis’ novel (though seems to change quite a bit, including Frances’ gender) isn’t sharp. It’s what we enjoyed about the first episode the most, including Jumbo’s and Howle’s performances (Harris doesn’t appear until Episode 2). But we just wish Frances’ way to George didn’t look so damned easy.
  24. Jack Ryan has successfully evolved its formula of spycraft and gunfights to accommodate John Krasinski’s brand of charm. In other words, it’s solidly-built, with just enough of everything that a show in this genre requires.
  25. At least trying to offer a glimmer of humanity beyond all of the government agency carrying on and mysterious international evildoing.
  26. There’s plenty to enjoy about the series, which is warm and inviting and fun. Belly proves herself to be a great protagonist.
  27. The show has maintained its likeability and goofy comedic tone after four seasons, and it’s impressive just how many levels it manages to operate on.
  28. Percy Jackson And The Olympians tells a straightforward quest story with good writing and well-defined characters, but takes its time to set up Percy’s story without dragging the show to a halt.
  29. The show is and always has been an incredibly well-acted soap, buoyed by Badgley’s excellent lead performance, and its continued commitment to taking things to crazier places than it ever has makes it more than worth your while.
