If you’re a fan of the video game franchise, then you’ll likely want to skip this series just on principle, but if you’re new to the world of Devil May Cry or a returning Season 1 viewer who loves exciting action and doesn’t mind a slightly underwhelming plot, then give Season 2 a shot.

Miracle Workers: Dark Ages may not have that satisfying story arc that the show’s first season has, but Viswanathan is a great lead and the characters are well-established by the end of the first episode.

Despite its very casual pace, The Lying Life Of Adults has an interesting family story at its core that will inform how its main character comes of age.

While the fourth season of Dark Winds is taking a chance by going off the rez, seeing Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito facing big changes brings interesting context to what might be normally be considered a standard police thriller case.

The Gray House is surprisingly engaging for such a sprawling historical drama, aided mostly by a good mix of characters and a strong lead performance by Daisy Head.

The second season of Tucci In Italy made us realize what Tucci is actually connecting with is the food and culture, and that helps us like him better.

While we still feel that there’s a bit of a lunkheaded feel to The Night Agent, Basso’s and Buchanan’s characters are established enough in the second season that the improved mission they’re on is something we’re looking forward to watching.

Long Way Home has an ambling quality about it that suits a travel-centric show, all of the scenic shots you’d expect – from the Scottish highlands to Scandinavian fjords and onward through Europe – and a level of bff banter between Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman that’s enjoyable as we become their companions for their latest two-wheeled adventure.

We think that the chemistry between Campbell and Elliot will be enough to keep people tuning into this version of The Hardy Boys. But we’re also wondering when gritty reboots of beloved kids’ literary characters is going to stop.

It’s off to a solid start, with good performances and a story that fits well in today’s television landscape.

Some of the incidents that begin the disputes are a bit confusing. .... But some are so “normal” they’re crystal clear. .... It’s disputes like the ones in the second episode that feel more real to us.

Kenan Thompson makes for a strong center to what looks like will be a warm family sitcom. It has some pacing issues, but by the end of the first episode, we were confident that they would be smoothed out.

By keeping the stories simple, Roar is able to send its messages without hammering it over viewers’ heads. Could some of the episodes stick their landings better? Sure. But the storytelling in the series mostly solid.

We like Interior Chinatown enough to look past the “stuck in a cop show” conceit, but we just hope it doesn’t weigh the show down as the season continues.

We’re intrigued by the time period depicted in Spy City, simply because it’s a part of that period in East-West relations that has been under-documented, at least for people who aren’t huge Cold War history buffs. It helps that the acting and production design are both excellent.

There’s great potential for a fun road-trip comedy here.

Ghosts is still fun, but we’re just not sure how many good stories this Sam, Jay and the ghostly gang have left in them.

Standout performances by Spencer, Ejogo and more make Self Made a pleasurable watch. It’s just too bad that the story of Madam C.J. Walker isn’t given time to slow down and breathe.

Between its crazy adventures and endless bathing suit scenes lies one of the most fun teen dramas that has premiered in months.

Attacking London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers dispenses with most of the frills you see in docuseries about big events from the past and sticks to the facts. Given how devastating and scary the attacks were, that’s all that’s really needed.

We like Wild Cards because it’s a “good silly” kind of show. The things that are ridiculous about it don’t distract from our enjoyment of it, mostly thanks to a good supporting cast and good chemistry between Morgan and Gianniotti.

While Couples Therapy: The COVID Special won’t give you as much insight into its subject couples as Season 1 of Couples Therapy does, it certainly feels like a way to see how the couples Dr. Guralnik treats are coping with lockdown just as poorly as you are.

The first episode of Territory is a bit cluttered with characters and stories, but the sweeping vistas of the Northern Territories, backed by good performances by Torv, Taylor and Dorman make the show very watchable.

The Mole isn’t quite as fun as the Anderson Cooper version, but it’s still a solid reality competition format that we’re glad is getting new life with Netflix.

Animal Control continues to be a solid workplace comedy that’s in a nice, funny groove as it enters its third season.

The Big Fib gets a whole lot of things right when it comes to the family game show genre.

In a lot of ways, the show is a workplace comedy with a lot of gender politics mixed in. If you look at it like that, and appreciate Silverman’s performance as Candy for the low-key seethe it is, Santa Inc. becomes enjoyable.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon continues to work because it puts one of the franchise’s best characters in an unfamiliar situation. But now that his partner in zombie-killing is on the way to his side, that should make things even better.
