  1. Where’s Wanda? is engaging and funny, but effectively shows how two parents wanted to be active in the search for their missing daughter.
  2. Evil continues its smart combination of weekly cases with strong character arcs, all with the Kings’ dry sense of humor intact throughout the first episode of Season 3.
  3. Abbott Elementary is starting to show some small signs of age as it starts its fifth season. But it also still generates big laughs and warm feelings about the group of teachers and administrators at Abbott, even if some of the smaller plots need some work.
  4. Dark Winds feels like it will deftly combine a standard murder mystery, tribal traditions and difficulties, and supernatural elements, tied together by a great performance by McClarnon.
  5. The chemistry between Dyer and Brammall is the key to Colin From Accounts; they show how these two comically flawed people can foster a relationship, even if the only thing they have in common is a disabled dog neither of them owns.
  6. Like On My Block, Freeridge is a fun show about a tight group of friends dealing with some strange goings-on in their neighborhood. Strong character development and confident lead performances make the show a very easy watch.
  7. It’s another series by Vince Gilligan that’s both visually and dramatically compelling to watch, especially with Rhea Seehorn being featured throughout.
  8. If you’ve seen Ms. Pat’s previous Netflix performance or her BET+ series, you know what you’re gonna get. And if you haven’t, then this hour may serve to tease and tempt you to explore more of her work.
  9. Hillary gives viewers the chance to go beyond soundbites and stereotypes, if they dare.
  10. Suits LA benefits from strong performances by Amell and Davis, but Korsh’s strong sense of banter and character, which made the original Suits such a sucess, is what really makes this spinoff worth watching.
  11. The necessary biopic parts are all here. But George & Tammy is buoyed remarkably by its two terrific leads, with Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain embodying the best and worst about the country stars as both distinct individuals and two people in a loving but combative celebrity relationship.
  12. Tom Jones presents Fielding’s sprawling narrative in a modern way that’s funny and well-paced. The cast is stellar, but its the chemistry between its leads that will carry the limited series.
  13. Seeing The Muppet Show back as if it never left is not only comforting and nostalgic, but it’s still really entertaining. Let’s hope Disney decides to go forward with a new series after the success of this special.
  14. Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a fun watch, with Colin Jost a natural at the hosting podium. It may not make Jeopardy purists happy, but casual fans will certainly like the show, because at least there’s a good chance they’ll be able to provide questions to most of the answers.
  15. D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! is a stylish docuseries that fills in a lot of blanks about a legend that has made a permanent home in our pop culture firmament, and the investigation that’s no closer to being solved now than it was in 1971.
  16. Because Inside Job immediately establishes its characters, its brand of humor goes way beyond just seeing lizard people struggle with the Keurig machine in the break room. And that’s what will make the series last a few seasons.
  17. Between Will Smith’s joking but reverent hosting and the sweeping visuals, Pole To Pole With Will Smith is a show that’s worth watching, even if you stopped being a fan of his post-slap.
  18. Night Stalker: The Hunt For A Serial Killer might be to[o] grisly for some viewers. But for true crime fans, it’s a well-paced series that has a different perspective than most series in the genre.

    If you’re in the mood for a show that prioritizes realistic humor and heart over static connect-the-dots storytelling, you’ll enjoy the subtle charms and overwhelming sincerity of Feel Good.
  19. Forever takes its time to tell its story of first love, with all the ups and downs that teens who are discovering love and sex in the social media era have to deal with. It’s a vibe that we love, aided by the chemistry between the show’s stars.
  20. Shadowland is fascinating, upsetting, sometimes depressing, sometimes revelatory journalism.
  21. You’ll leave Impeachment feeling many things: anger at Linda Tripp, disgust toward Bill Clinton, revulsion about the cutthroat media landscape and our current team mentality of politics. But you’ll also leave it understanding that Monica Lewinsky was a real person rather than a punchline.
  22. Maya And The Three works on two levels: Battle scenes and colorful animation for the kids, goofy jokes and a good story for the adults.
  23. “Look how much fun I’m having,” Wong says at one point. We can tell. And her joy at finding love again, or even at just rediscovering dating now that she has some newfound power in the dynamic, makes it fun for us to go along for the ride with her.

    Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft has action, mystery, and a sincere emotional core that combine to form a fleshed-out world and story that will pique your interest. With plenty of compelling plotlines, questions, and characters set up in the first episode, we look forward to continuing on with them to see where this exciting adventure will lead.
  24. With this being its last season, the quality and plot twists have only gotten better and it’s a must-watch for fans of the show (anyone who hasn’t seen previous seasons will absolutely be lost).
  25. This is the Sex Ed Talk generations of women wish they could’ve received, even better than what Novak jokingly refers to as “diagonal learning” from an older female acquaintance. This is over the top, on the up and up, and oh so funny.
  26. Home Sweet Home is not a reality show where you watch for the “gotcha” moments. But there’s more than enough interesting scenes in each episode to give the viewer a nice, heartwarming family watch on a Friday night.
  27. The show can’t go on forever, but it’s a great thing that the gang can still get together and make us laugh.
  28. X-Men ’97 works because it feels like the exact same TV show, but with its inhibitor collar turned off. This is X-Men finally cutting loose.
