Treason has more than enough tension and intrigue to span its 5-episode season. As long as it doesn’t get too bogged down with unnecessary side stories, the show should be very entertaining.

While the cases of the week are a necessary evil on a show like Matlock, we wish there was more room to play out the complexities of Matty and Olympia’[s] relationship and the Wellbrexa case.

Despite the lack of details, The Glory works as a revenge story because you’re immediately drawn to Dong-eun and want to see her get back at those that scarred her for life. But we hope that there will also be more nuance to Yeon-jin and some of the other tormentors, as well.

The Serpent is certainly a slow burn, and it’s jumpy timeline will take some getting used to. But the lead performance by Rahim, and fine supporting performances by Coleman, Howle and Bamber help us stay engaged with the story.

Swan is appealing as Jenny, and we’re always happy when a procedural focuses as much on characters as it does on the case of the week. It’s a sign that Coroner will only get better.

I, Jack Wright has real potential to be a fun murder mystery combined with a dramedy about wealthy family conflict. The first episode certainly indicates that things will only get more explosive as the series goes along.

Criminal Minds: Evolution is indeed an evolution of the franchise; the cast seems to enjoy its meaty season-long mysteries, and it’s always good to see the group working together again.

What role Bronte plays in all this, whether she becomes an intellectual or even a physical love interest for Joe, is yet to be seen. It seems that Joe is attracted to her because she provides something Kate doesn’t, even though he loves Kate as much as anyone he’s ever met. That complex dance is going to be interesting to watch.

While The Glory isn’t quite as dark as we anticipated it to be, there’s still a lot of moments when Dong-eun’s revenge plan is at the forefront of the action, which is where the show is at its best.

Bling Empire mostly follows the tried-and-true reality formula, but with just enough new wrinkles to get fans of that genre excited to binge its first season in one or two sittings.

Deadloch is a show that doesn’t make fun of murder, but has a lot of fun with the people investigating the murders, along with everyone who might be a suspect, and does so in a pretty entertaining way.

If you’ve stuck with Sweet Tooth to this point, there is nothing about the final season that would make you stay away from completing the story.

From Scratch is a perfect slice of escapism for the wine moms and independent women of the world. It’s not worthy of awards, but it is worth recommending to my fellow die-hard romantics as a blithe bit of distraction from everyday stress and sorrows.

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.

While there’s a lot about Supacell that we’ve seen before, there’s also enough that’s new to keep us watching, especially given the performances of its main cast.

Little Disasters has some annoying “perfect family with secrets” tropes, and uses some irritating narrative devices like foruth-wall-breaking snippets and narration. However, we liked the exploration of this unlikely friendship between a medical skeptic and a doctor, and how their differences end up threatening one of their families.

While sometimes White House Plumbers finds it hard to satirize what is already ridiculous at face value, it still gets off some big laughs and is bolstered by the performances of Harrelson and Theroux.

We’re hoping that some of the quirkiness of Dispatches From Elsewhere meshes better with story as the series goes along, but the ensemble’s initial chemistry compels us to keep watching.

Whereas it once felt like all of this show’s challenges were emanating from the same place they do on Jimmy Donaldson’s YouTube channel, with others doing them instead of MrBeast himself, Season 2 of Beast Games feels better positioned inside what we all understand as contemporary reality competition.

While we hope the show, and Obama, stay as grounded as it does in the first episode, Working: What We Do All Day is still a good glimpse at just what work is like in America, especially in these post-pandemic times.

The premise of Based On A True Story is definitely absurd and by the end of the first episode, we’re not sure where it’s going to go. But Messina and Cuoco’s performances are more than enough to keep our attention while the show figures itself out.

Hey, this thing is creepy. Teacup thrusts us into the everyday life of a family who must navigate their own internal problems as the world around them becomes increasingly unsettling. And weird! And probably morebloody!

There is some inherent cheesiness to the scripted parts of Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints, but the stories try to ground themselves in human reality, and Scorsese’s presents adds his gravitas and genuine curiosity about faith and the Catholic church.

Despite the fact that it feels like it’s set to go in a bunch of wayward directions, Moment Of Truth is still a docuseries worth watching, mainly because it’s a reminder of how a high-profile case can be influenced by so many different factors.

The first episode of Starting 5 is titled “Meet the Hoopers”, and it’s clearly focused on introductions, but the notion that introductions are necessary is pretty silly, given the star caliber we’re talking about here.

Beastars compellingly tangles some of the mundanities of human high school life (Oh no! Drama in drama club!) with some weird world-building within an anthropomorphic reality.

History’s Thomas Jefferson docuseries tries its best to make sure the Founding Father is seen in a proper light, and for the most part achieves that goal.

Young Rock starts off well and it feels like it’ll settle in to a nice family vibe once it gets into a groove with its format. And as much as we like Johnson, it will get even better when we see less of The Rock.
