Glória takes the standard Cold War spy drama and places it in a unique setting, which sets up some intriguing scenarios for missions to be executed and/or thwarted.

Home is beautifully-shot and tells stories that go beyond just “look at this beautiful and unusual house!” While the episodes can drag at times, it’s still an enjoyable diversion.

Is Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne the contemplative Peanuts that we know and love? Not really. But shifting the perspective to the usually confident Lucy, and showing a moment where she has a lack of confidence, is refreshing and welcome.

The grim goings-on and generally sour worldview that Mayor of Kingstown established with its first season have not abated with the arrival of its second. But nor has the fine acting and character work that exists in its many one-on-one moments.

There isn’t anything groundbreaking about the filmmaking, but the true crime at the center of the story is compelling.

While the pacing is still inconsistent, the second season of Killing It continues to mine the chemistry between Robinson and O’Doherty as well as how tough it is these days to come from nothing and achieve success.

Just eggheaded enough to engage those of us who want to put a smidgen of math behind the overwhelming flood of emotional sludge we parents feel when we’re being parents, or thinking about being parents, or generally existing as parents.

Despite some of the distracting flourishes, Killing County examines a topic that we don’t see a lot of in the true crime docuseries genre.

STREAM IT, obviously, if you’re a Beatles fanatic and are looking for something to nap to after Thanksgiving dinner. Anthology has lived a few lives by now, but this updated streaming version feels clean and presentable, just like the young and scrubbed Beatles in 1964.

We wish the new Star Search had some better pacing, and that the judges were a skosh tougher on the acts than they are. But for the most part we watched and voted along with the rest of the audience watching live, and rooted for those we liked. That’s the sign of an overall good show.

The Morning Show Season 2 is a thrilling melange of ridiculous drama. There are hookups that had me gasping, plot developments that gave me whiplash, and a few moments where I had second-hand embarrassment for all involved. ... The Morning Show will never be a perfect show. It’s too boldly outspoken, too shockingly self-indulgent, and too obsessed with speaking first about a moment in time instead of speaking wisely. Still, I can’t help but find its brand of backstabbing elites terribly fun to watch.

Fans of this genre of reality show will likely really get into the storylines presented here. We wish that Burnett and his producers concentrated on more non-American teams.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles has serious moments, but it’s a show that doesn’t try to take itself too seriously, and that sense of fun is going to make Margo’s journey to provide for her son very watchable.

It avoids being too salacious and trashy (despite the fact that the subject matter could easily go that way), and looks at things from a legal perspective more than a tabloid headline perspective to represent both parties as well as it can.

The case of the Beatrice Six is an interesting one, and we’re pretty sure that once Mind Over Murder gets into the details of how the six got arrested, convicted and exonerated, it’ll move better. But you may want to have your finger on the fast forward button during the first couple of episodes.

While its narrative structure is as dry as a bone, Who Killed Jill Dando? carries a lot of intrigue, simply because of how famous the case is and how wildly speculative the investigation got.

Barrera sells the idea that she can absolutely survive, making her resourcefulness in the situation almost plausible. Now we just need to see where the plot goes, which will play out in those flashbacks. ... One of the things we like about the six-episode limited series is that the episodes are all around 30 minutes, so you’re not seeing Liv wandering around the wilderness for hours on end.

While the first episode of The Stolen Girl is a bit too predictable, there does seem to be a really twisty story underneath the predictable premiere.

Duck Dynasty: The Revival might just be the silly, goofy fun you need after a hard week of working and watching the news, especially if you identify with the Robertsons’ credo of “Faith, family and ducks.”

The Dead Girls moves a little slowly, but the performances and subject matter are definitely interesting enough to keep us watching.

The first episode has more than enough twists and turns, paired with the full-of-personality members of the Heaven family, to really engage the viewer. Whether the story itself holds up over the remaining episodes is yet to be seen.

The Lost Flowers Of Alice Hart is a portrayal of domestic abuse that starts out a bit obtuse, but given the intense subject matter, that obtuseness is an effective way to bring people into Alice’s story.

We’re still not sure if The Girlfriend is going to be a taut, gripping thriller or just make us roll our eyes so much that they get tired. But the first episode shows enough promise, and makes viewers ask enough questions about both of its main characters, to keep us watching.

Like its international counterparts, Sing On! is light and fun and a show that you can easily binge if you just want to enjoy watching people singing for prizes.

While the ER in Berlin ER looks grungier and bleaker than ones we’ve seen on American TV, the beats of the show will be familiar to people who are fans of medical dramas. In this case, the show is watchable because of its cast, especially Jones and Popadic.

While there are parts of Griselda that feels like a generic cartel drama, Sofia Vergara’s fierce performance in the title role demands our attention, as well as helping the show move along at a confident pace.

We’re willing to give Protection a pass because of Siobhan Finneran’s lead performance, but the show feels like it’s weighed down by a lot of British cop show cliches.

We just wish a bit more thought was put into the story’s logic. At times it feels like there’s not enough material for the 90-minute runtime, and at others it feels like details have been left out. The first episode was scarier than the second, but the second was more fun than the first. It was mostly an entertaining episode, just inconsistent.
