  1. Dream Productions continues to effectively expand the Inside Out universe, which seems to know no bounds, given the fact that a preteen’s brain is so darn complicated.
  2. Law & Order: Organized Crime isn’t “classic” L&O, but it’s got an intriguing continuing storyline and two fantastic leads.
  3. As much as it feels like it’s two docuseries combined into a big unwieldy mess, Our Universe‘s graphics, photography and narration still make it a compelling watch.
  4. Bridgerton Season 4 Part 1 retains the charm of past seasons, but it often feels like two clashing shows, competing for ultimate attention. .... My only hope is that that drama can be a bit more streamlined, a bit more sexy, and bit more focused on our wonderful season leads when Part 2 rolls out on February 26.
  5. The tone of the show can be a bit too cheeky at times, but it does have a light touch, and Melanie’s almost-giddy sex-positive personality certainly helps the shy couples open up.
  6. Faraway Downs doesn't entirely fix the criticism of white saviorism that Australia received. That would’ve been an impossible feat given Lady Sarah's character. That said, the series spends more time with the Aboriginal characters and expands on their origin story and aspirations, rather than casting them to the wayside. Overall, the series transforms the lukewarm drama into the grand epic that Luhrmann originally set out to make.
  7. If you liked Season 2 of Search Party then Season 3 is more of the same. If you were shocked by the show’s dark turn at the end of the first season, though, don’t expect the show to go back to that season’s tone.
  8. Couple Trouble is super-relatable, and light enough to make sure you’re not going to fight with your SO after watching it.
  9. With Kreese back in the center of the action, everyone working towards Sekai Taikai and an extended final season in 2024 and “final battle” in 2025 on the horizon, we can see Hurwitz, Schlossberg and Heald focusing and being able to bring Cobra Kai to the finish line with a funny, emotionally affecting story.
  10. Your enjoyment of the series will depend on if you want to go on that ride with Johan and his crew, as well as watch the flashbacks that Maggie reports to Johan. We thought the first episode moved along well; despite the fact that we didn’t really get to know the group of Winterers very well, aside from Arthur, Maggie and Annika.
  11. While Beyond The Gates isn’t reinventing the daytime soap formula, just the idea that we’re being introduced to a new set of characters, and we’re getting a soap that features and affluent and powerful Black family, is more than enough to get us to keep watching.
  12. Because of the funny moments, and the idea that these two coddled young men are now going to have to get into hardcore criminal activity, we are feeling pretty good about the prospects that the first season of Deli Boys will be entertaining.
  13. We’re not 100 percent sold on Chad Powers yet, but if it concentrates on the redemption arcs and steps away from the goofiness, it should be a satisfying show to watch.
  14. During the final third, things settle down and Ghosts shows some funny potential of where it can go.
  15. Despite our reservations, Dead Boy Detectives is mostly fun to watch, and the flaws we saw in the first episode might be smoothed over as the season goes along.
  16. For the most part, David Blaine Do Not Attempt is an enjoyable look at people who achieve amazing feats through endurance and control of their emotions. Blaine’s attempts at the stunts are sometimes pulse-pounding and sometimes ridiculous, but the show is never boring.
  17. It may be a low bar, but if we’re watching a network series where we don’t roll our eyes or throw up our hands at what we’re seeing on the screen, there’s a good chance that we’ll want to see more of it. And Alaska Daily had enough to like to make us want to see more.
  18. Power Book IV: Force is the Power sequel that’s got the loosest connection to the parent show’s universe. In fact, it sets itself up as a pure spin-off. But It does a good job of showing who the power players are in its story, and how Tommy Egan is ready to shake up the status quo.
  19. The Chicken Sisters is a pleasant, often amusing show that has a good cast and wraps family drama in a refreshing package.
  20. Because of Bates, Matlock is certainly entertaining to watch. But would the show be equally entertaining if she wasn’t there? We’re not sure.
  21. Because of the twist at the end of the first episode and the series’ relative brevity, watching Sophie: A Murder In West Cork should be worth your time.
  22. The characters in Koala Man are solid enough to make us think that the more time Cusack and his writers get to develop them, the better the show will get.
  23. Ten Pound Poms works because its characters are easy to root for as they try to make new lives for themselves in Australia. And the fact that the show is working towards a conclusion ensures that the stories will stay focused.
  24. 007: Road to a Million is in many other ways just a conventional challenge-based reality show. But it makes the right moves to establish its Bond branding as a frame, and rejects much of the superficiality common to the genre.
  25. Season 2 of Bloodlands layers even more intrigue onto what’s generally a straightforward, unfussy detective drama, with James Nesbitt’s raw anger leading the way.
  26. The Pharmacist shows how sheer determination, fueled by grief and anger, can drive one man to affect change, even if it’s in the face of a corrupt bureaucracy or a massive corporation.
  27. Howery keeps things moving and loose, and he pokes just enough fun at the contestants to help allay their nervousness. But the practices are so lacking in tension that they slow the game action down. ... If the producers can tighten the show’s pacing in subsequent episodes, it should make for a fun summer series.
  28. American Nightmare teases out the story of Denise Huskins’ kidnapping to a bit of an irritating degree, but we do understand why the filmmakers did what they did. It’s a fascinating story of law enforcement and confirmation bias, one that needs to be on a platform like Netflix.
  29. The chemistry between Bernal and Luna is at the heart of La Máquina, and we hope that the show’s producers lean on that for the rest of the season.
  30. Bloodlands is a solid drama that moves through its story efficiently without a lot of fuss. And that’s a pretty welcome thing these days.
