  1. The Reagans is obviously a partisan production, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth watching. By re-contextualizing Ronald Reagan’s presidency, the series makes a clear case for how we got to this point as a country. It didn’t just start with Donald Trump.
  2. Lupin’s twists and turns, and a fine performance from Omar Sy (who is also the show’s artistic director, helping to establish the series’ lavish look) makes the show eminently watchable.
  3. This is a winning portrait of two guys in South Central L.A. with opposing life philosophies who find they each have something to learn from the other.
  4. Terminator Zero takes a fresh crack at the most familiar stuff from the Terminator franchise – twisty time-travel hijinks, machine-born sentience, human-cyborg conflict – and lends the story new direction and life, as well as a distinctive, animé-inspired new look.
  5. Devil May Care is a funny commentary on social media, religion and people’s views of Hell.
  6. Eyes On The Prize III: We Who Believe In Freedom Cannot Rest 1977-2015 is a compelling companion series to the 1987 original, putting the civil rights movement into a modern context through the stories of the people at its forefront.
  7. Is there an overriding plot aside from escaping the rubble? Is there any kind of character development? Not really. But a show this crazy doesn’t really need that, as long as it continues to be daring through its entire run.
  8. The anthology series is putting us in a new twilight zone with its season 7 tales of technology run amok and raw emotion as the timeless driver of the human condition.
  9. Adults definitely starts out a bit frantic, and the characters a bit cartoonish, but there is more than enough that’s funny about this group of friends that makes us want to spend more time with them.

    The chemistry between its cast is what makes Hal & Harper both a comedic and dramatic success, equally tugging at our heartstrings and making us chuckle.
  10. Allen v. Farrow is a fascinating deep dive into a case that has been all over the news media for almost 30 years now, even if it’s admittedly a one-sided account.
  11. If you’re into American Horror Story for the horror, you’re going to have a blast. If not, then Double Feature has some killer performances from your favorites that you won’t want to miss.
  12. he Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy finds the comedy legend less reluctant, than he was during the show’s first season. But the series is still entertaining, mainly because Levy is so self-deprecatingly funny and because we love seeing him discovering all of these new things in his later years.
  13. Although I expected the docuseries to dig a bit deeper into the specific history of the showcase and how it spawned Black-themed comedy nights at clubs across America, I still appreciated all of the extra detours into the various aspects of the cultural history of the 1990s.
  14. Ken Bruns doesn’t reveal a lot of new details in Benjamin Franklin, but he paints a complete picture of a statesman that most people only know his many life highlights.
  15. If you’re a fan of watching documentaries about the “anatomy of a scam”, then Generation Hustle has ten different well-told stories to choose from.
  16. Archival footage is the hero here, everything from tear gas canisters arcing into the students at Kent State and those lying bleeding after the National Guard shootings, to a raw live performance of “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills & Nash that leaps off the screen with nervy energy. Audio interviews accompany the montages, and are lent particular power in their juxtaposition.
  17. In the first two episodes, the tension between Ava and Deborah gets things off to a strong start.

    I once said Season 2 was better than Season 1. But now, Season 3 might have them both beat.
  18. The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning works because of its cast. Less of a home makeover show and more of a soul makeover, the show doesn’t have big “move that bus!” reveals, but the emotional reckoning the clients often have at the end of each episode is just as moving and satisfying.
  19. The Sum of It All proves adept at upholding one of the best things a music doc can do, which is reveal its subject on a personal level.
  20. Pistol is a fun watch, rife with visual flourishes and emboldened by a strong cast on top of its otherwise by-the-book music biopic boilerplate.
  21. House of the Dragon isn’t good; it’s great. ... House of the Dragon is definitely the show Game of Thrones fans want, full of drama, fire, and blood. Oh, and lots of dragons.
  22. Warrior Nun is the rare pulpy fantasy show that knows when to lean into its silly side and when to slow down and get serious. That makes it incredibly addictive for a specific kind of action fan.
  23. Between Cumming’s scenery-chewing and the whole dynamic between the reality stars and the civilians make The Traitors fun to watch.
  24. The Famous Five is a fun adventure series the entire family can watch, with just enough modern touches to keep the younger viewers engaged and enough dangerous situations to keep the older viewers interested in what will happen next.
  25. Though the series strikes the creator’s signature balance of humor and emotional depth, Rooster has yet to rival Shrinking, Ted Lasso, or The Office. That’s not to say the six of ten episodes made available for review weren’t a genuinely fun ride; rather, it’s a testament to the incredible heights we’ve seen both men reach.
  26. Gary does a good job of reminding fans of The Bear why the show was so compelling when it first blasted onto our screens, and we hope it’s a harbinger of a good final season.
  27. The final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is pretty much more of what we’ve seen over the past 24 years. But it’s still funny, howlingly so at times. And that’s pretty much all we’re looking for from Curb as Larry and company kvetch into the sunset.
  28. P-Valley is a series that has a lot to say from a perspective that hasn’t gotten much of a voice on prestige TV to this point. As the ensemble meshes, it’ll be interesting to see how this alternative family operates.
