  1. Cobra Kai: Season 6
    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.
  2. The Head (2021): Season 1
    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.
  3. Beyond the Gates: Season 1
    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.
  4. Deli Boys: Season 1
    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.
  5. Chad Powers: Season 1
    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.
  6. Ghosts (2021): Season 1
    During the final third, things settle down and Ghosts shows some funny potential of where it can go.
  7. Dead Boy Detectives: Season 1
    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.
  8. David Blaine Do Not Attempt: Season 1
    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.
  9. Alaska Daily: Season 1
    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.
  10. Power Book IV: Force: Season 1
    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.
  11. The Art of Sarah
    The Art Of Sarah looks like it’s going to be an intriguing, multilayered mystery about a woman who built a luxurious life from a complex lie and the cop that figures those lies out.
  12. The Chicken Sisters: Season 1
    The Chicken Sisters is a pleasant, often amusing show that has a good cast and wraps family drama in a refreshing package.
  13. Matlock (2024): Season 1
    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.
  14. Sophie: A Murder in West Cork: Season 1
    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.
  15. Koala Man: Season 1
    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.
  16. Ten Pound Poms: Season 2
    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.
  17. 007: Road to a Million: Season 1
    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.
  18. Bloodlands: Season 2
    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.
  19. The Pharmacist: Season 1
    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.
  20. Small Fortune: Season 1
    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.
  21. American Nightmare
    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.
  22. La Máquina
    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.
  23. Bloodlands: Season 1
    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.
  24. Jim Gaffigan: The Pale Tourist
    Not his best work but certainly his most ambitious and audacious endeavor yet, so it’s worth the effort to applaud his effort.
  25. Down Cemetery Road: Season 1
    Thompson is definitely the main draw on Down Cemetery Road, but good performances all around and a sense of humor that makes us snicker makes up for a mystery that might be frustratingly slow to develop.
  26. A Very Royal Scandal
    A Very Royal Scandal takes an event from the very recent past and gives it some fascinating context, aided by good performances from Sheen, Wilson and Scanlan.
  27. The Investigation: Season 1
    We grant you that the first couple of episodes of The Investigation will be frustrating to watch, given what you know about the Wall case. But seeing these cops and prosecutors make their way through Madsen’s lies to get to the truth will be interesting to watch.
  28. Isabel (2021): Season 1
    While Isabel doesn’t exactly dive too deep into Isabel Allende’s life, it doesn’t completely sugarcoat it, either, which is all we ask of a biographical docuseries.
  29. Missing You
    Missing You is a solid thriller that may have you shaking your head at some of its twists. But good performances and an intriguing premise will make some of those silly twists easier to take.
  30. Kaleidoscope: Season 1
    As far as the show goes, it’s some pretty light drama that’s not supposed to bring up any moral dilemmas or force viewers to dig for deeper meaning. Esposito elevates everything he’s in. ... So far, the rest of the team outside of Stan feel like one-dimensional characters, but those may also fill in during the rest of the episodes. But, as heist dramas go, Kaleidoscope tries to concentrate on the heist as much as possible, which is always a plus.
