  1. The Black Church: This Is Our Story, This Is Our Song is a well-paced, well-researched look into how impactful religion in the Black community has been, stretching back to the earliest days of our country’s history.

    ABC’s new sitcom, Shifting Gears, is pretty damn good.
  2. Rap Sh!t suffers a bit from some broad gags and the phone-centric gimmickry we cited earlier, but at its heart is a story of two friends taking on the patriarchal world of hip hop, and that story is one we’re eager to watch.
  3. The Midnight Club continues Mike Flanagan’s ability to creep and scare the pants off viewers while building stories with great characters. The varied tones of the club’s stories should bring an interesting wrinkle to Flanagan’s usual dark and tense style.
  4. STREAM IT but not because you love fashion or competition shows, simply because it works best as a half-hour comedy: funny, full of characters, and a very easy way to wind down after A DAY.
  5. Animal Control‘s first couple of episodes elicited some big laughs and has already established an ensemble with some good chemistry. There’s nowhere to go here but up.
  6. Sunny presents an interesting near-future scenario where a woman questions everything she knew about her marriage and life. The mystery she investigates may end up being mundane, but the performances of Jones and Sotomura — and the relatively brief episode run times — make it a fun ride to go on.
  7. Munno’s schtick may be a bit over the top, but the enthusiasm she brings to Italian food and cooking makes The Pasta Queen a fun show to watch.
  8. Netflix’s rapidly diversifying lineup of reality shows has another binge-worthy entry.
  9. McGregor’s performance is key to the success of A Gentleman In Moscow, a series which has its dark moments, but is a whole lot more hopeful than it seems on the surface.
  10. Cinematic, emotional, and actionably nostalgic, the third season of Star Trek: Picard feels like the truest representation of what returning Patrick Stewart and the TNG era was supposed to be for.
  11. Fraggle Rock: Back To The Rock has all the charm that made the original series so popular, and it’s made in a way that it’s completely easy to make a new generation of fans get into the show immediately.
  12. Rennervations is a touch frantic and a little unhinged, but that just seems to be a reflection of its star’s personality. We love seeing the conversions and the organizations that will get these really fun new vehicles.
  13. Emily in Paris isn’t going to make your Top 10 Best Shows of 2025 list. But it’s still a high-quality comfort watch with good vibes and a charming cast that can give you a much-needed rest from reality.
  14. Citizen Nation is the antidote to every show you’ve seen about teens lately. These teens don’t care about internet fame; they care about restoring dialogue to the discourse in this country, and it’ll be fun to see them all getting ready for and competing in We The People.
  15. Bad Sisters continues to be a fun show to watch because all five actors playing the Garvey sisters have great chemistry with each other and look like they’re having fun with this dark comedy. It also helps that Horgan and company continue to write smart dialogue for them. We just hope the second season story keeps the focus on the sisters and their lives.
  16. Tom Green Country is a fun docuseries that shows what the early ’00s pop culture phenomenon is doing now, and how funny Green is, even when he’s not doing his old absurdist shtick.
  17. Season 2 of Modern Love is better than the first because Carney has decided to concentrate on more intimate stories, and not try to lean on huge names to get people’s attention.
  18. Unlike his treatise on 9/11 and the War On Terror, Knappenberger has done a good job of contextualizing just how the nuclear arms race got started. The first episode of this docuseries is almost 80 minutes long, but it’s riveting because it doesn’t just recite the history you might have learned in class or while watching countless History Channel docuseries on World War II.
  19. The magic of Pegg and Frost is alive and well, and Truth Seekers strikes the perfect balance of heart, horror, and humanity. This one is more than worth your time.
  20. While adding boys into the mix takes away some of the singular magic of the first season, The Wilds remains an extremely entertaining and beautifully performed series.
  21. There is some goofiness to the show, especially Wrecker’s desire to “blow stuff up,” but The Bad Batch feels like a worthy spinoff to the very popular Clone Wars series.
  22. We love hearing American traditions mocked from outsiders. It’s worked wonders for the careers of John Oliver, Trevor Noah and Ronny Chieng in recent years. Jay pulls it off in this hour by spending the first half of it offering her fresh perspective to heteronormative relationships, making it personal through her eyes as a “junior man” kind of lesbian.
  23. The biggest surprise here? How entertaining this dumbass franchise is in 2023.
  24. While Agents of Chaos may not come to any concrete conclusions about Russian interference in the 2016 election, it makes a pretty damning case that the Russians definitely had some influence, and that US intelligence officials were slow on the uptake in fighting it.
  25. McConaughey’s smooth Southern drawl is the perfect fit for Presley, the animation is fluid and attractive, and the laughs come at you quickly. It’s a raucous good time, and deserves a good, old-fashioned try – even by suspicious minds.
  26. The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window is a smart parody of a very parody-ripe genre, but it also works well because Kristen Bell plays the main role with the right degree of seriousness.
  27. Plot lines don’t veer too far into WTF territory without a payoff. Through vulnerability and introspection, Platonic strikes a nice balance between lighthearted and serious storylines.
  28. Lupin continues to be a very satisfying watch because of Omar Sy’s performance and the well-written and executed heist scenes.
  29. Despite the self-indulgent aspects of The Last Movie Stars, Ethan Hawke has created a fascinating docuseries about one of the biggest Hollywood power couples ever, as well as the issues that defined their marriage.
