  1. Social Distance: Season 1
    The episodes we watched did fine during the funny parts, not as fine during the serious ones. ... But what we appreciated was the sophisticated nature of the humor we saw in each 16-22-minute episode. ... It’s also refreshing to not hear those [“remember when we did this?”] lines, and just have stories about how the humans relate to each other has so utterly changed because of COVID. Let’s hope the rest of the episodes follow suit.
  2. Night on Earth: Season 1
    Jammed with enough eerie and compelling cinematography to keep us watching.
  3. City of God: The Fight Rages On: Season 1
    City Of God: The Fight Rages On is a touch confusing to those who didn’t watch the original 2002 film, but has potential to be a tense thriller of a series after the first episode, which introduces us to characters both old and new.
  4. Tehran: Season 3
    While Laurie’s presence Anglicises Tehran a bit, we’re still intrigued by the subtleties of Tamar’s and Faraz’s stories, especially now that their stories have started to come together.
  5. How to Change Your Mind: Season 1
    Despite the Goop-ish feeling we get seeing a man of privilege getting to go on psychedelic trips while counting Netflix’s money, there is still information that he imparts in How To Change Your Mind that will, well, change your mind about psychedelics.
  6. Outlander (2014): Season 7
    Outlander Season 7 isn’t what I would call good TV, but it is a good season of Outlander.
  7. The Wedding Coach: Season 1
    The Wedding Coach is a light and fluffy show that will get people who have been through the wedding planning gauntlet nodding in recognition. Jamie Lee and her comedian guests treat the occasion with the right sense of humor, even if that sense of humor approaches raunchy levels at times.
  8. Walker: Independence: Season 1
    Walker: Independence is a pretty straightforward western that is helped by a well-considered world that’s been built around its main character.
  9. 30 Rock: A One-Time Special
    Yes, it’s an infomercial and yes, the NBCU ads during the “commercial breaks” are pure puffery. But there are more than enough funny moments to keep you watching. Just keep your finger poised over that one-minute skip button; you’ll need it.
  10. Scamanda
    Scamanda gets to the point of its story quickly, which is always appreciated during true crime docuseries.
  11. Panic: Season 1
    There’s a lot about Panic that makes us roll our eyes. But we’ll give it a recommendation because we were actually rooting for its main character by the end of the first episode, and we were surprised that we were doing so. That’s a good sign for the rest of the season.
  12. The Orville: Season 3
    The Orville: New Horizons is back for a third season with a new home, some light, effective tweaking, and more seasoning for its core cast.
  13. Rebel (2021): Season 1
    The cast of Rebel is the biggest reason to tune in (and we do mean tune in, because it’s on ABC). With Vernoff at the helm, the show should even out its rapid-fire pace and become an entertainingly rollicking and sprawling network drama.
  14. Rotten Legacy: Season 1
    Rotten Legacy is a sometimes-funny, mostly dramatic story about a mogul who acknowledges he might have been a rotten dad, but that his kids are a whole lot more rotten than he is, and he’s going to extremes to let them know about that.
  15. Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy: Season 1
    Stanley Tucci: Searching For Italy is a bit more detached than some of CNNs other documentary series, but it’s still an interesting look at a country that is much more than its tourist hot spots.
  16. NCIS: Tony & Ziva: Season 1
    We’re not fans of the case Tony and Ziva have to figure out on NCIS: Tony & Ziva, but we like the fact that Weatherly and de Pablo are back in their fan-favorite roles, and their chemistry is as good as ever.
  17. Grace: Season 1
    John Simm is the main reason why Grace is such a watchable show. The mysteries are sufficiently engaging to keep the show from dragging, but Simm is the real attraction here.
  18. High Potential: Season 1
    We knew exactly what was going to happen, given we saw the French pilot. But we were so entertained with Olson as Morgan that the mystery really didn’t matter.
  19. Russian Doll: Season 2
    Russian Doll Season 2 is good, but it’s not quite as great as Russian Doll Season 1. This new season gets messy with its wild narrative swings and lazy with its logic.
  20. Bad Influence: The Dark Side Of Kidfluencing
    While being a bit one-sided, Bad Influence: The Dark Side Of Kidfluencing is still an interesting look at the dodgy world of kidfluencers, and how adults take advantage of kids who are doing the videos for fun, even though the channel is raking in millions of viewers and dollars.
  21. Home Before Dark: Season 1
    Home Before Dark is a solid show that features a character inspired by a real-life kid investigative reporter.
  22. Secrets of Playboy: Season 1
    Secrets Of Playboy does go into aspects of Hugh Hefner and his empire that people may not have heard before if they’re not following people like Madison closely. We just wonder if the revelations will start becoming repetitive or less shocking as the series examines each part of Hefner’s life and the brand he started.
  23. Legends (2026)
    While the first episode of Legends could have fleshed out some of the main characters a little better, it does just enough — with enough restraint — to keep us watching.
  24. Carême: Season 1
    Carême is compelling enough to recommend, especially given the show’s lavish look and Voisin’s charismatic performance. But the storytelling needs to become a bit more robust after the first episode in order to keep viewers’ attention.
  25. Our Kind of People: Season 1
    Our Kind Of People is a frothy show with a more serious underlying message about wealth, racism and women supporting each other. If you miss Empire, it should fill that hole in your schedule quite nicely.
  26. America's Most Wanted (2021): Season 1
    If you’ve watched America’s Most Wanted over the past 33 years, you’ll know what to expect from its reboot. It’s odd to call a show about murderous fugitives comfort food, but it certainly is, both then and now.
  27. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon: Season 1
    With Reedus doing his usual stellar job as the brooding but caring Daryl, TWD: Daryl Dixon is on pretty solid dramatic ground.
  28. Leviathan (2025): Season 1
    Thus far, it skews a bit younger – teens and tweens – and toward the middle of the road, and even if it doesn’t inspire too many superlatives, it’s squarely watchable, maybe watchable-plus. The promise of higher-drama action and star-crossed romance seem likely to keep us on the hook to see how the story plays out.
  29. Flunked: Season 1
    While Flunked isn’t as funny as other recent school-based shows, the first episode introduces some potentially funny supporting characters, and the undercover aspect adds a lot of potential funny situations to explore.
  30. DTF St. Louis
    DTF St. Louis is definitely a little weird at the start, but viewers’ patience will be rewarded with a quirky but interesting mystery starting in Episode 2.
