    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.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.”
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. This endeavor feels a lot like going with your friends to a sex therapy session (and I mean that in the best way possible). The casting here is really what makes the series such a winner; each couple has a compelling, relatable backstory.
  13. Love Life‘s second season surpasses the first just by shifting the focus away from a subject we’ve seen so many times to one that has a messier, and more interesting, story.
  14. That Animal Rescue Show takes a low-key, realistic look at people who give their lives to animals that need help. In a sea of negativity in media, such a positive show is a welcome, refreshing change of pace.
  15. Between the old lies and secrets that everyone is keeping and the new ones that have just been revealed, the show redefines “guilty pleasure” as a show where the guilty get pleasured… and pretty much everyone is guilty of something.
  16. By the end of the first episode, we were rooting hard for Andy, Gabriel and Jake to become a strong family unit, which is certainly a product of the show’s strong performances and inventive storytelling.
  17. The show continues to be a realistic and empathetic portrayal of what being a teenager looks like.
  18. Despite some missing context, Grant Amato’s strangely normal interview footage and audio effectively drives the narrative in CTRL+ALT+DESIRE.
  19. Tiffany Haddish Goes Off shines because the comedian goes on a trip of a lifetime with her actual friends, and decades of memories and history together inform everything they do on this trip.
  20. It’s Florida, Man. is quirky, fun and sometimes scary, which pretty much reflects the state where its stories take place.
  21. Fleming shares with the audience a photo of his family, with him as a child, the youngest of the flock, the only one staring into the camera. At points during the special, he's also well of where the stage cameras are. This comedian is ready for his close up.

    Calabasas Confidential has what it takes to become Netflix’s next big reality show.
  22. If you’re jonesing for a musical story after watching Schmigadoon!, start streaming Centaurworld, even if you don’t have kids. It’s funny and strange all at once, and the music is pretty darn good.
  23. We’re happy to see Phineas And Ferb back with new adventures, and after ten years away, it’s as fun and creative as ever.
  24. Baby Reindeer is a very bingeable show because it’s funny while being incredibly dark, and it doesn’t take the easy way out when it comes to its characters. So, while we cringed every time Martha further wheedled her way into Donny’s life, we also wanted to know what would happen next. That’s not something we’ve said about a lot of shows lately.
  25. La Maison works because it isn’t about what you might think it’s going to be about. Instead of it being about a stereotypical tyrant of a designer, it’ll be interesting to see two unexpected characters take over a fashion house and bring it into the 2020s.
  26. Deadlocked: How America Shaped The Supreme Court isn’t meant to be an exhaustive history of our highest court, but it does give a great perspective on just how the court went from ruling on civil rights cases in the ’50s to its conservative turn in the 2020s.
  27. 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.
