While it’s tempting to give V.C. Andrews’ Dawn a recommendation just on the strength of the performances of Mills and Bassinger, the rest of the first episode is cheaply made with an underbaked story and clunky dialogue. For some people, it may put the show in the “it’s so bad it’s campy” category, but we think it’s just plain bad.

Moonshine is a fun show with a dreamy, summer vibe, solid performances from Finnigan and the rest of the cast, and just enough darkness and drama to make things interesting.

The Ashley Madison Affair is a well-paced docuseries that takes enough of a jaundiced eye at Ashley Madison to show its rise and fall in the correct context.

Deadloch is a show that doesn’t make fun of murder, but has a lot of fun with the people investigating the murders, along with everyone who might be a suspect, and does so in a pretty entertaining way.

The Lincoln Lawyer is one of those shows that won’t leave a big impression on you after you watch it, but it’s got enough good stuff going on to make it an enjoyable, pulpy watch.

There was nothing quite like American Gladiators in its prime, and The American Gladiators Documentary captures the magic, weirdness and spectacle of it all in an entertaining and nostalgic package.

Whether you’re a seasoned golf fan or someone who only has a vague awareness of the sport’s existence, Full Swing is a great way to latch onto the inherent drama behind the competition.

Whether as a companion piece to Winning Time or a standalone experience, They Call Me Magic is a worthwhile look back at one of the NBA’s greatest all-time players and personalities.

At least trying to offer a glimmer of humanity beyond all of the government agency carrying on and mysterious international evildoing.

Warrior, whose fans once mobilized a petition for its third season return, rewards them with tightly-choreographed action sequences that don’t skimp on the bloodshed and visceral death blows. But it also offers political and interpersonal dramas set in an interesting historical time period, and writing that crackles with the energy of a contemporary action movie.

Season 3 of The Witcher has enough story and action to satisfy fans of the show. We just wish the characters had a bit more to say.

Hijack makes sure the tension stays high while not taking leaps in logic. Combine the tight writing with the compelling lead performance from Idris Elba and you have a show that gets us leaning forward in our chairs, and that says a lot.

If you slept on the first season of Swagger, Season 2 is good enough to go back and catch up now. It’s a worthy successor to Friday Night Lights, but more than stands on its own.

It’s going to be a reluctant STREAM IT from us. The series has a lot left to accomplish to roll the tide, but if Netflix invests time in the show to establish the characters and build on the storyline, it can easily build towards something bigger and scarier, and less mismatched.

I’m A Virgo is about much more than the fact that Cootie is 13-feet tall; it’s a layered story about isolation, coming of age and institutional racism, but all presented with a little bit of a fairy-tale sheen to it.

While Glamorous has a pretty standard fish out of water story at its core, Miss Benny’s lead performance is so magnetic that they command a viewer’s attention.

Even though Season 2 of The Bear isn’t as frantic as Season 1, we get to know everyone at the restaurant better this season. And the second season is shaping up to be funnier than the first.

Season 2 is a delightful improvement over the first season. If you loved to hate And Just Like That... Season 1, there are still enough bonkers moments to fuel your hate-tweets. And if you’re a SATC diehard, you’ll find yourself swooning (and screaming) over where the decades-long saga takes Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda next.

The direction of Gemstones, together with its whip-smart editing and consistently top tier music cues, helps push the series toward darkness as much as the unscrupulous behavior by its characters. It also has its garish heart revealed in riotous costuming, bizarre framing – get a load of the gleaming white spires and towers of the gilded Zion’s Landing – and craven decision making, which only makes the world it’s built for itself come even more weirdly to life.

100 Foot Wave continues to combine its personal touch with the lives and careers of a unique and driven group of world-class athletes with gorgeous, award-winning cinematography. Like the big wave surfers themselves, it has a healthy respect for the majesty and danger of the sea.

Stream it, if you’re a Walking Dead completist. But, for everyone else, SKIP IT. The Walking Dead: Dead City feels like the same show whose storytelling ambles like a hungry walker at times, just in a new location.

Our Planet II is chock full of spectacular scenes of animals on the move, but it also shows us things we might not have known about the whys and hows of how certain species migrate.

It may seem crazy to think that professional mermaiding is a thing, but after you watch MerPeople and see the happiness coming from the people who are doing this work, you way want to do that work, too.

We’ve gotten to know the Williams family and their circle of friends, as well as the crowd that Dean runs with in school, which is at the heart of what makes this version of The Wonder Years so enjoyable. We’re happy we can finally spend some more time with them, over a year since Season 1 ended.

As with every anthology series, Black Mirror‘s episodes will vary in quality, but they’re always entertaining, and the first episode gives the new season a good start.

No longer just a spinoff, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds goes boldly into its second season with terrific crew chemistry, more far-flung adventures on tap, and even more depth added to characters who already feel like classics.

Stream it, but only because all of the characters from The Full Monty that you loved in the ’90s are back and as quirky as ever in the new series. But, just like the dog that got kidnapped in the first episode, the show is a bit shaggy and aimless, which may make your goodwill for these characters wane after a few episodes.

Secret Invasion has a fascinating concept and some truly incredible performances for an MCU joint, but its writing and direction both fall a little flat. It’s the kind of serious show that Marvel fans were thirsting for five years ago, but now might cause some viewers to nod off.
