Marginally recommended, based on the fact that Drescher, Weber, Pally and Elliott are an extremely talented and funny cast, and there’s hope that the writing will improve to accommodate their talents.

When these situations are clearly forced for comedy reasons, we start to turn away from a show. However, Ryan has created a show for herself that fits her quite well, so as things go along her character might ease up into someone we’ll actually like.

It’s easy to dismiss Hoops as just curse-filled and crass. But the cast is great, and you start to root for Coach Hopkins and his team by the end of the first episode. It isn’t always funny, but it’s just funny enough and has enough heart to be a decent show.

The Hunting Party is a generic action series that seems to operate on twists that either aren’t that surprising or are pretty much useless.

It feels like she miscalculated with bringing back her old vapid persona in Cooking With Paris. We wanted to see a more unvarnished Paris, not the one we’ve been seeing for the last 20 years.

Alter Ego is silly, sure, but on a network that airs The Masked Singer, it feels downright dignified. And the contestants’ stories are worth watching.

Will you come away from Last Light thinking you watched the best show ever? No. But it’s got more than enough action and intrigue, a family that’s trying to reunite during a worldwide crisis and Matthew Fox being his usual charming, gritty self (eventually).

The couples at the center of The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On don’t feel like real couples to us, mainly because of their relative age and relationship newness, which gives us no incentive to root for or against them staying together.

The pilot of Outmatched is long on good ideas and short on smarts or funny lines, and that’s a disappointment.

Queue up the original 1966 Grinch special, or even one of the two movies before even considering Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical! You’ll never see the Grinch the same way after watching this mess.

John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams leans far too heavily on docuseries and true crime mechanics to really consider its horror elements, which ultimately just feel like window dressing.

The Ed Gein Story does an effective job of introducing audiences to a serial killer many people may not know about, but one that has had a ton of influence on horror films from Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

If you go into The Price Of Glee with the right mindset, you’ll get some good information about just how much pressure the stars and crew of Glee were under. You have to basically ignore the producers’ attempts to link two of the stars’ deaths directly to the show itself, and definitely ignore their attempts to get any of the interviewees to call the show cursed.

There were a bunch of lines in the first episode of All’s Fair that we rolled our eyes at, but there were some that made us laugh out loud. Much of that has to do with who’s delivering those lines, but some of that also has to do with the general outlandishness of the show in general. .... The cases themselves are entertaining, and haven’t entered the realm of 9-1-1-level ridiculousness yet.

MILF Manor is cringe TV at its worst, and the cringe factor isn’t balanced by a cast with any remotely interesting personalities.

The game play of The Crystal Maze drags a bit during a typical hour episode, but Conover and the contestants’ family togetherness are more than enough to get us through the slow spots.

The series is for fans of Bieber's serving as an update on his progress as an artist and human. Ultimately, Beliebers will find a lot to enjoy here.

Jammed with enough eerie and compelling cinematography to keep us watching.

Netflix’s rapidly diversifying lineup of reality shows has another binge-worthy entry.

A novel approach to the usual Norse legend story, and should be fun to watch.

There’s no such thing as a perfect television show, but Joe Pera Talks With You is pretty darn close.

Couple Trouble is super-relatable, and light enough to make sure you’re not going to fight with your SO after watching it.

She really doesn’t have to say much more about how she’s standing alone or what she’s standing for these days, exactly.

The Ghost Bride is a fun show that lightens up on the history and leans in on the mystery, with a sprinkle of romance mixed in.

If you’re a fan of the Slow Burn podcast, or if you’ve never heard it before, you’ll find out new information about Watergate during this docuseries. You just have to get past the aren’t-we-clever podcast shtick first.

This miniseries isn’t quite the War Of The Worlds you’re familiar with, but it does seem to be looking like a fine apocalyptic survival story that at least has an ending, unlike some others that we’ve been watching on other cable channels for the past ten years.

The first episode of Washington, despite being almost 90 minutes without commercials, moves along nicely, the battle scenes are done reasonably well and Rowe does a good job filling the shoes of the great George Washington.

It may be gross to watch, it may have too much testosterone running through it, but dammit, I liked watching these dopes suffer.
