  1. How to Fix a Drug Scandal: Season 1
    Veers dangerously close to becoming cheesy and artificial. But the results of Farak and Dookhan’s actions is so fascinating, that we’re very interested in watching this until the end.
  2. Yvonne Orji: Momma, I Made It!
    The most memorable bits all take place onstage.
  3. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Season 1
    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is a perfectly entertaining entry in the now-60-year-old Trek franchise, punctuated by fun performances by Hunter and Giamatti. We just worry that the more generic-feeling Academy portion of the series will overwhelm the usually-reliable starship adventures.
  4. Limitless With Chris Hemsworth: Season 1
    Limitless With Chris Hemsworth puts the star in some extreme situations, but the insights into his life and thinking are what’s going to keep us watching.
  5. Why Didn't They Ask Evans?: Season 1
    Because Laurie wanted to stay relatively faithful to the story, viewers are going to have to sit through some predictability to get to the witty dialogue and the inevitable reveal of the killer.
  6. Pivoting: Season 1
    Pivoting works because of its three leads, but they’re dealing with uneven stories that we hope will be worked out as its first season goes along.
  7. Doctor Odyssey: Season 1
    Doctor Odyssey is a pretty dumb, inessential watch, but an entertaining one, mostly due to the performances of the main cast and guest stars.
  8. Bait: Season 1
    Bait is a mostly-funny show about a guy that finds out what it’s like when he makes himself go viral in order to advance his career, with a funny performance by Riz Ahmed.
  9. Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole: Season 1
    Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole isn’t reinventing the “troubled detective” or Nordic noir genres, but good performances by Santelmann and Kinnaman make the show very watchable.
  10. Archie
    Despite some stylistic missteps, Archie is a well-paced story about the life of Cary Grant, who most of us really only know from the roles he played in films that are 60 or more years old.
  11. Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami: Season 1
    We often complain that docuseries take six hours to tell three hours of story, which leads to a lot of filler. Here, it feels like there’s about eight to ten hours of story, squeezed into six 45-50 minute episodes. ... Corben doesn’t position this as some dark, scary, noirish true crime series, and that is refreshing.
  12. Limitless With Chris Hemsworth: Season 2
    Chris Hemsworth is personally engaging and does seem genuinely engaged as he undertakes a new round of mental and physical challenges in Limitless: Live Better Now.
  13. Mayor of Kingstown: Season 4
    While we continue to enjoy the interplay between these characters, we’re pretty sure nobody on this show has ever even seen a good mood – and that does not change with this immediately grim new season.
  14. The Best Man: The Final Chapters: Season 1
    Despite the years between sequels, the cast of The Best Man: The Final Chapters is a well-oiled machine, and it shows in this new series.
  15. Meltdown: Three Mile Island: Season 1
    Instead of a rehash of an event that could be easily researched, Meltdown: Three Mile Island takes a familiar event from the past half-century and fills in people’s gaps in information and debunks commonly held beliefs about the event.
  16. Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham: Season 1
    We liked Men In Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham because Heughan and McTavish aren’t trying to be brotastic or outshine each other. They’re two buddies on a roadtrip — albeit a bit of an overscripted one — and that comes across well on the show.
  17. Am I Being Unreasonable?: Season 2
    Am I Being Unreasonable? continues to be one of the darkest of dark comedies out there, though there may not be as many twists and turns as the first season had.
  18. The Dog House: Season 1
    The Dog House: UK is a light and sweet diversion from all the cynical reality series out there. It would fit really well on Animal Planet, which is a high compliment for a show like this.
  19. RJ Decker: Season 1
    Once the awkwardness of setting up R.J. Decker‘s puzzle pieces ends, we see the potential for it to be a fun, quirky case-of-the-week detective series that will concentrate on its characters’ stories as much if not more than the weekly case.
  20. American Horror Stories: Season 3
    American Horror Stories definitely takes care to tell stories that are satisfying and complete despite their relatively short length, but we just wish a few elements of those stories were a little more thoroughly considered.
  21. Lawmen: Bass Reeves: Season 1
    Lawmen: Bass Reeves benefits from a sturdy performance by David Oyelowo at its center, effectively strikes the balance between tough talk, gunplay, and sentiment typical of a Tyler Sherdian production, and offers some perspective on a formative era of US history.
  22. 30 Coins: Season 1
    There’s enough going on during 30 Coins to keep a viewer interested. But at times, there’s too much going on, and it doesn’t give any time to explore the relatively small main cast and what their characters’ motivations are.
  23. This City Is Ours: A Crime Family Saga: Season 1
    This City is Ours features a few wrinkles in its setting and approach that set it apart from the many, many similarly sprawling family crime dramas. We’ll stick with it and see what an impressively deep cast can bring to the story, which features a lot of other elements that strike us as pretty familiar.
  24. Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord: Season 1
    Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is certainly one of the darker entries in the franchise, especially among the animated series. But there is a lot of potential to dig into the personality of one of the franchise’s most notorious villains, which is always something we look forward to seeing.
  25. America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Season 2
    The stories of the women on the DCC squad are what make America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders worth watching, even if the format sometimes feels repetitive.
  26. America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Season 1
    While America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders isn’t going to get too dark or delve too deeply into real issues, it’s still a good behind the scenes look at how one of the most famous cheerleading squads in the world gets ready for being in the spotlight.
  27. The American Revolution
    The American Revolution is yet another example of how Ken Burns and his collaborators take what we already know about a historic event and, through meticulous research and extensive interviews with historians, goes really deep into the topic in an entertaining way.
  28. Love is Blind: Season 1
    The show’s not really going to change your mind about whether or not love truly is blind, but it is going to make you scream at your TV a lot (in the good way).
  29. Menudo: Forever Young: Season 1
    The refreshing thing about this series is that the members of Menudo who were interviewed appreciated the wild ride they went on, even if looking back they realize that Díaz wouldn’t be able to operate the band the same way today.
  30. Sweet Tooth: Season 1
    We were surprised how engaged we were with Sweet Tooth, even though it’s a show about a virus that wipes out most of humanity; it’s not something you want to contemplate as the real pandemic we’re suffering through winds to a close. But good performances and an adaptation that grounds things into some sort of reality saves the show from eye-rolling preciousness.
