  1. Not Dead Yet wastes the talents of Rodriguez and the rest of the cast in a show that’s shockingly unfunny.
  2. It’s off to a solid start, with good performances and a story that fits well in today’s television landscape.
  3. Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is a well-paced, traditional Christie adaptation with a fun-to-watch young protagonist at its center, which is rare in the world of the classic mystery novelist’s stories.
  4. If you’re a fan of the JU-ON or The Grudge franchises, JU-ON: Origins will help fill in some blanks with a well-drawn story and interesting characters. But even if you’re not, the stories told in this series will be intriguing to any horror fan.
  5. We think there will be enough of the original cast on screen to make watching That ’90s Show worthwhile. But we’re not sure if audiences are going to want to sit through the broad scenes featuring the teens to get to the good stuff.
  6. Even though we don’t know the case, we could see where the show was going, and were dreading spending the five additional episodes it was going to take to get there. ... Despite good performances from Fox, Addy and Graham, The Murders At White House Farm feels like it wants to tell a deeper story about these notorious murders from the ’80s but just can’t bring itself to do it.
  7. American Primeval is an unsparing look at a segment of the American West in the 1850s that pretty much saw conflict, blood and death every single day. It’s certainly bleak, but it also reflects what it was really like for people heading West at that time, and why survival was probably their greatest achievement.
  8. The novelty of the approach here is worth a viewing, and they do sneak a STREAM IT for me just for keeping me intrigued as to what they were going do to next. It didn’t make me want to stop watching after 20 minutes like Death to 2020 did.
  9. I’m on the fence with The Comey Rule — it’s not revelatory, and mostly tells us what we already know. When it’s entertaining, it seems almost unintentional. But ultimately, it’s a curiosity watch that’ll compel you to stick with it through its entirety.
  10. We would say that Becoming Karl Lagerfeld would be great if you’re a fan of fashion, but we’re not even sure there’s enough conflict to drive the drama for people who are interested in Lagerfeld’s history.
  11. When you watch the first episode of The Most Hated Man On The Internet, all you want is to see Hunter Moore get his comeuppance. Thanks to this relatively brief docuseries and its speedy pace, you’ll get that wish pretty quickly.
  12. Perhaps the main characters in Grosse Pointe Garden Society will become more than just cartoon characters and things like the annoying narration will calm down. But we’ve seen shows like this, done much better, for a couple of decades now.
  13. 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.
  14. Call Her Alex is fan service for Call Her Daddy listeners for sure, but there’s no denying that Alex Cooper is a woman who earned success on her own terms, and her story will absolutely appeal even to non-fans.
  15. With its vocals only, visuals denied structure, Building the Band could be a novel concept in a crowded field of reality-style singing competitions. Who knows if any of the bands these singers form will coalesce.
  16. While Emily In Paris seems to be a bit of a lightweight series, Collins is a winner in the lead role, and Star is a pretty dependable storyteller, so we’re hoping for the best.
  17. Slattery’s presence makes it a watchable mess.
  18. 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.
  19. Doc doesn’t fail because it’s full of medical show cliches. It fails because its central premise feels like a house of cards, and there won’t be much to watch when it collapses.
  20. It may seem like black-ish with f-bombs, but #blackAF is still a funny, meta introduction to what Barris will be able to do with the creative freedoms Netflix brings.
  21. Edie Falco is one of those actors we’ll watch in anything. And Tommy certainly is anything.
  22. Hotel Costiera is a fun and visually-stunning series with Jesse Williams in his element as the half-Italian, half-American fixer.
  23. The Monster Of Florence is a depressing slog of a show that feels exploitative at times and disjointed at others.
  24. Run Away is another solid Coben thriller with good performances, a little bit of humor and lots of twists. Will it be memorable five seconds after you finish watching it? Probably not. But it’s something good to binge over a weekend.
  25. Just eggheaded enough to engage those of us who want to put a smidgen of math behind the overwhelming flood of emotional sludge we parents feel when we’re being parents, or thinking about being parents, or generally existing as parents.
  26. Council of Dads isn’t as ridiculous as some of the other This Is Us rip-offs we’ve seen in the past few years, but its also not all that good of a show, either.
  27. There are some stories that are not well served when they’re made into scripted dramas. Because of the muddled details, the Natalia Grace case is one of them, and the lack of nuance in Good American Family is a good indicator that viewers are better off watching docuseries about Natalia’s case rather than this drama.
  28. While we were annoyed at the first episode of The Sons Of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness, we’re looking forward to digging into what Terry found and how the investigation affected him.
  29. Grimsburg is a comedy that suffers from too many jokes, which seems to be impossible, but this show proves that it can happen.
  30. 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.
