  1. The Wheel of Time: Season 1
    While Martin’s gritty, skeptical, and brutal look at the genre appealed to an HBO audience, I’m not sure Jordan’s romantic, mystical, and hopeful version will be as ubiquitously embraced. The Wheel of Time can’t be the next Game of Thrones. It’s just not in the source material’s DNA. But Prime Video’s series has the chance to be the first true Wheel of Time, and that excites this all-too-earnest nerd to bits.
  2. Peacemaker: Season 1
    It’s intriguing enough to keep us watching. And, given the fact that the show gives a montage of Peacemaker’s story in The Suicide Squad, you shouldn’t need to see the film in order to get the series.
  3. Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes: Season 1
    If you want to get into the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer, there’s no better way than hearing from the killer himself, and Conversations With A Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes gives viewers more than enough opportunity to hear from Dahmer about the impulses that led him to kill.
  4. Critical: Between Life and Death
    For the most part, though each episode makes a good attempt at showing exactly what the various first responders and trauma teams need to do and exactly how critical the injuries of the patients they’re treating really are.
  5. Leanne: Season 1
    Like most Chuck Lorre sitcoms, Leanne needs to find its way for awhile, and there are moments during the first handful of episodes that feel as cliched and “sitcommy” as it gets. But the cast starts clicking pretty quickly, especially Morgan and Johnston, and that goes a long way to upping number of genuine laughs each episode has.
  6. MADOFF: The Monster of Wall Street: Season 1
    Despite the distracting reenactments, Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street imparts a lot of good information about Madoff’s psyche, the structure of his Ponzi scheme, and why people invested in it in the first place.
  7. Coming Out Colton: Season 1
    Despite the sloppiness by the show’s producers, and some of its repetitiveness, we still appreciate Underwood’s coming out journey enough to make Coming Out Colton a worthwhile watch.
  8. Dance 100: Season 1
    Dance 100 is guided by its ambitious and pretty novel premise, which adds population with each week of competition, but it also highlights the technical language of dance and strives to celebrate body diversity.
  9. Dexter: Original Sin: Season 1
    While we’re not convinced that Dexter: Original Sin will be as compelling as the early years of the original series, we’re hoping that the new cast develops their own chemistry instead of trying to imitate the dynamic of the original show’s cast.
  10. Zero Day
    The cast of Zero Day is the main reason why we’re going to keep watching, but the final moments of the first episode gave the story more intrigue than what we’ve seen from terrorism thrillers in the recent past.
  11. Heartbreak High (2022): Season 1
    Despite one of the main plotlines being a bit wonky, Heartbreak High is a funny show with well-drawn characters. They just happen to hook up a lot.
  12. Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer: Season 1
    There were some parts of Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer that we wished got some more time, like the general cluelessness from the cops about LGBTQ club culture, but the show’s brief running time and straightforward storytelling is a good trade-off for the lack of self-examination.
  13. Will Trent: Season 1
    While the procedural part of Will Trent needs a lot of improvement, the characters are so well-established from the start that the first two episodes are entertaining and make us want to see more.
  14. Welcome to Wrexham: Season 3
    Welcome To Wrexham isn’t exactly about the same plucky underdog team anymore. But as long as the show’s producers continue to emphasize the team’s connections with its fans and city, it should be a little more than just a straightforward sports docuseries.
  15. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: Season 2
    Obviously this isn’t necessarily something to jump into completely cold. But fans of the MonsterVerse should enjoy this deeper dive into the lore of those films, with more room (and necessity) for emotional nuance than those big-budget adventures.
  16. The Tattooist of Auschwitz: Season 1
    The Tattooist Of Auschwitz shows that there can be a glimmer of hope in even the most horrific situations.
  17. Bloods: Season 1
    While the lack of laughs in the first episode is a bit concerning, we think Bloods still has promise because of the ensemble that settles into a good rhythm almost immediately.
  18. The Dark Wizard
    The Dark Wizard profiles an interesting, somewhat mysterious character in rock climber and thrill-seeker Dean Potter. Where did his tremendous, death-defying skill end and his zen and the art of climber’s mental maintenance begin?
  19. Filthy Rich: Season 1
    Filthy Rich isn’t exactly high art, but it’s satisfyingly soapy, with some decent performances and a couple of chuckles that show us that it’s not taking itself at all seriously.
  20. Hellbound: Season 1
    Despite how slow and disjointed the first episode of Hellbound is, it sets up an interesting story that could go just about anywhere.
  21. Trigger Point: Season 2
    As long as the episodes of Trigger Point‘s second season continue to show Lana and the rest of the expo squad escape one tense situation after the other — and occasionally fail — the show will continue to be entertaining, even if the overall terrorist plot is just meh.
  22. Vikings: Valhalla: Season 1
    Just like its parent show, Vikings: Valhalla is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. But for fans of the genre, Valhalla does a good job of continuing the story established in Vikings.
  23. Fire Country: Season 1
    Fire Country has more story and stronger characters at the outset than a CBS procedural like this usually has, and that’ll carry the show when the fires start looking all the same as each other.
  24. Lopez vs. Lopez: Season 1
    Lopez Vs. Lopez isn’t the “next great sitcom” or anything close. But the dynamic between George and Mayan Lopez is fun to watch, making up for the more generic parts of the series.
  25. Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives.: Season 1
    We really wish Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. was less one-sided, but at least the side we see makes for an entertaining story.
  26. My Life With the Walter Boys: Season 1
    In many ways, My Life With The Walter Boys is typical teen romance fare. But it’s pleasant enough, and Nikki Rodriguez’ lead performance is compelling enough, to keep us watching.
  27. Noughts + Crosses: Season 1
    Noughts + Crosses has its issues, but the cast is compelling to watch and we hope that some of its obviousness will get smoothed out as we get more into the actual story.
  28. Fool Me Once
    Fool Me Once has enough potential for some intriguing plot twists, and more than enough solid performances, to make up for some awkward dialogue and plot points that feel like they’re going to unnecessarily complicate things.
  29. Sanctuary (2023): Season 1
    While Sanctuary moves a bit slowly at times, it’s a fascinating look inside sumo wrestling that should be of interest to anyone who has an interest in Japanese sports culture.
  30. Portobello
    Despite the length and dodgy pacing of the first episode, Portobello is an entertainingly detailed retelling of one of the strangest stories in recent Italian history.
