  1. The show looks gorgeous and can stand side-by-side with the other nature docs on Netflix. The lessons it teaches are also worth learning. It’s actually not hard to imagine Down to Earth becoming part of a very hip, very millennial high school teacher’s curriculum when school starts back up in the fall.
  2. We’re not sure if throwing Ethan back into the mix, even if he somehow gets tangled up with the people chasing after Elliot, is the best idea, either. But there’s more than enough good stuff going on in Season 2 to override those concerns, at least for right now.
  3. Lincoln’s Dilemma take an unflinching look at Lincoln’s role in the abolition of slavery in America, and isn’t shy about criticizing him, or at least putting his role — and his conflicted politics — in the right context.
  4. The Lady makes a compelling true crime story into a compelling drama through the performances by both McKenna-Bruce and Dormer, who try hard to make their famous characters nuanced and real.
  5. Devs emerges as an indisputably stunning mystery.
  6. Sasquatch may not prove to you one way or another that sasquatches actually exist, but it’s an entertaining true crime story with some interesting twists and turns.
  7. One Last Time: An Evening With Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga is both a fitting public farewell for a musical legend and a fun throwback to the golden age of live entertainment.
  8. That comedic vibe is really what makes Baking It distinctive from TGBBS. ... If you want a gentle, family-friendly baking show that’s pretty funny, then Baking It is a good choice to watch over the holidays. Rudolph and Samberg are on their A-game here, but the opinionated grannies are the show’s secret weapon.
  9. The Tower does a good job of telling its central mystery without a lot of filler, and Whelan’s performance as Collins is both intense and emotional.
  10. In You Season 4 Part 2, the series remains grotesque, absurd, slick, vapid, skewering, and often quite predictable. All of which makes it totally binge-able.
  11. 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.
  12. Minx improves on a fun first season with an even more fun and ambitious second season, with an ensemble that’s clicking and meaty (pun intended) storylines for everyone in that ensemble.
  13. The series is for fans of Bieber's serving as an update on his progress as an artist and human. Ultimately, Beliebers will find a lot to enjoy here.
  14. The issues Patel examines in the series are some pretty big ones, and he does a good job of taking these huge concepts down to a personal level while keeping the themes universal. ... As usual with these CNN-produced documentaries, the photography is top-notch and really brings you into the destination that’s being profiled, closer to the actual culture of the town than most travelogues are able to do.
  15. Not every athlete is worthy of a documentary, but Simone Biles isn’t just any athlete. Simone Biles: Rising is a well-crafted document of one of the best to ever do it.
  16. Thanks to a fine performance from Stanfield as well as a story that’s just starting to get spooky by the end of the first episode, The Changeling hooks in the viewer and gets them ready to follow Apollo on a journey that promises to be full of scares and surprises.
  17. Just like Season 1, those personalities are so strong that we love seeing them interact with each other, even if the cases they’re working on aren’t that intriguing.

    Drops of God: Season 2 continues to deliver a layered, character-driven story that raises the bar from Season 1 as it blends cultures, explores complex family ties, and satisfies the senses on an even greater scale.
  18. Adult Swim’s The Elephant is a fun experiment that turns out to be an entertaining 23 minutes of TV (48 if you extend it to the accompanying documentary) from some very talented creators.
  19. Will Trent continues to entertain with characters that have really deep backstories and cases that are good enough to follow, even if they take a backseat to all of the character arcs.
  20. We like Being Reuben because Reuben de Maid’s personality is so big that he compels you to watch. But his family is a lot of fun, too, which makes for a light, fun reality series that’s perfect for watching while folding laundry or making some “breakies.”
  21. Doctor Who may be taking a slightly different direction as it arrives on Disney+, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not as funny and witty as ever. And the chemistry between Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson does a lot to make up for any encroaching tweeness.
  22. Season 5 of Harley Quinn keeps the hilarity coming at a rapid-fire clip, concocts a whole host of new misadventures for its main duo – this time with Metropolis under threat – and expands on and strengthens Harley and Ivy’s love story in ways well worth shipping.
  23. While we wonder if the Jessie-Tom relationship cycle is getting a bit old, we still find Starstruck a warm and funny show, with Matafeo leading a confidently funny ensemble.
  24. Here We Go is one of those cases where the execution is so good that the fact that the concept isn’t fresh doesn’t matter.
  25. Star Trek: Prodigy sets up a fun story that’s only somewhat connected to the greater canon of the Trek franchise, but with the addition of Mulgrew, makes the show accessible to newcomers and Trek fans alike.
  26. With a wealth of archival performance footage and an intriguing visual style, Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity is an open door to exploring the saxophonist’s legacy, but also creativity as a beacon of light.

    The Captain is broad enough to entertain anyone, but it’s an absolute must-stream for baseball fans.
  27. Tattoo Redo is fun makeover show that sets the right tone by making fun of the awful tattoos people get while celebrating the artists that do an expert job of covering them up.
  28. If you like reality television, we recommend giving Couple to Throuple a shot! The show takes the voyeuristic nature of reality programming to the next level and offers nonstop jaw-dropping moments. But if you’re looking to learn about polygamy in an ethical and educational manner, stick to the YouTube explainers — or book a private session with Howard.
