  1. That Animal Rescue Show takes a low-key, realistic look at people who give their lives to animals that need help. In a sea of negativity in media, such a positive show is a welcome, refreshing change of pace.
  2. The South Westerlies is as refreshing as an ocean breeze, with a fine cast that has great chemistry from their first scenes together.
  3. The Cost of Winning is more feature-profile than hard journalism. But it’s at least a thoughtful, well-made and engaging feature-profile.
  4. They seem to be eager to share too much and show their fractured relationships as they strive for that “perfection is attainable” life. It’s an awareness previous Housewives spent multiple seasons learning, but these ladies are already savvy. This all adds up to one of the most confident starts to a Bravo series we’ve perhaps ever seen, and one that is boldly ready to bring Bravo into a new era.
  5. The parts just don’t make a cohesive whole. ... Aside from Maya Rudolph’s narration, Eater’s Guide To The World doesn’t offer anything you haven’t seen in dozens of shows on Food Network and elsewhere over the past 20 or so years.
  6. Oh Cook! is low-key funny, but definitely generates a number of laughs. ... But it’s surprisingly informative, due to May’s grasp of food history minutiae, and the meals he makes are surprisingly well-done.
  7. We Are The Champions shows contests that you may have never heard of or seen, but even if you have seen them before, the show treats them with such reverence that you’ll become fans.
  8. Based on the first episode, it seems that Abrossi and Calvo can handle this back and forth pretty well, but as we expand out the universe around Cristina’s life, we’re wondering how well they’ll be able to keep track of everything.
  9. STREAM IT if you are just interested in seeing the dogs compete on The Pack. SKIP IT if you want to watch an interesting reality competition.
  10. 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.
  11. Earth At Night In Color gives a fascinating look at nature in a way the human eye has never seen before, and that alone is reason to watch.
  12. The Surgeon’s Cut tries to humanize the surgeons who have pioneered amazing procedures, and for the most part, it succeeds in its mission. Could it be a little less laudatory? Absolutely. But the laudatory nature doesn’t take away from the medical miracles they perform.
  13. Stillwater is a nice Zen alternative to the noisy and grating kids’ shows out there. If you’ve got a kid who doesn’t mind calm TV, this will give both of you a break for 25 minutes.
  14. The women of this family certainly come off well here, and that’s refreshing; they’re not fighting or gossiping, and their stories are still interesting to watch. We should see more of that on reality shows.
  15. 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.
  16. Just because a show goes in the direction of a procedural-type show doesn’t mean that it can’t be elevated by a good cast and sharp writing. After the ace performances by Millman and Griffiths, we’re looking forward to seeing what direction Total Control goes in.
  17. If you’re a fan of The Masked Singer, this show should be just as fun to watch. ... [Robinson] moves the show along without trying to center the spotlight on himself. Jeong is still at his most annoying, which we hate to say because we’re fans, but there’s also a reason why he’s the only carryover from the original show; he’s divisive like a Simon Cowell, but in a happy sort of way.
  18. There’s enough going on during 30 Coins to keep a viewer interested. But at times, there’s too much going on, and it doesn’t give any time to explore the relatively small main cast and what their characters’ motivations are.
  19. This new version of Name That Tune has some clunky aspects to it. But the party vibe in the studio, Krakowski’s strong hosting presence and Jackson’s great band make those clunky aspects less annoying.
  20. Even if the action doesn’t keep a game show fan on the edge of his or her seat, it should still be engaging enough for the viewer to want to play along. The Hustler, despite the efforts of Ferguson to will the show into something interesting, doesn’t ever get to that level.
  21. The premiere episode of this new American version of The Chase didn’t deliver as much tension as we expected, and did drag in parts. But we do see the potential of the format, especially with the three Jeopardy! champions in place as Chasers.
  22. Celebrity WoF needs the celebrities to be competitive and play the game the way it’s supposed to be played, and the first set of celebrities do just that. The puzzles are slightly easier than the ones you may see on the regular version, but that’s just to encourage bigger winnings because of the charity angle. But, if you weren’t looking too hard, you wouldn’t really be able to distinguish the celebrity version from the civilian version, which is a good thing.
  23. You can’t help but feel relaxed while watching The Great Pottery Throw Down, and it’ll be interesting to see how the ante gets upped not only during the first season, but across all of the show’s three seasons.
  24. Everyone Is Doing Great is a navel-gazing portrait of two guys who have refused to grow up on top of not embracing the roles that made them successful. We’re not sure who in the current financial, health and political environment are going to find any entertainment with these two sad sack characters.
  25. 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.
  26. Secrets Of Sulphur Springs is a smart mystery thriller that just happens to star teenagers. But it doesn’t try to insult the intelligence of the parents who are watching, which is always a plus.
  27. While the start of Réunions leans a little on the silly, the performances are generally good and there’s real potential for a heartwarming story about two brothers who never knew each other existed to become real family.
  28. Your enjoyment of the series will depend on if you want to go on that ride with Johan and his crew, as well as watch the flashbacks that Maggie reports to Johan. We thought the first episode moved along well; despite the fact that we didn’t really get to know the group of Winterers very well, aside from Arthur, Maggie and Annika.
  29. Devil May Care is a funny commentary on social media, religion and people’s views of Hell.
  30. Assembly Required is a fun competition show, though it lacks some of the detail that the truly mechanically-inclined might want to see. But it’s made more fun by the presence of Allen and Karn.
