We often complain that docuseries take six hours to tell three hours of story, which leads to a lot of filler. Here, it feels like there’s about eight to ten hours of story, squeezed into six 45-50 minute episodes. ... Corben doesn’t position this as some dark, scary, noirish true crime series, and that is refreshing.

Hit & Run boasts a fine international cast, an interesting premise, and opens up a lot of story avenues without confusing the viewer.

While the information in UFO may or may not convince you that the US government knows more than it’s telling us about UFOs and extraterrestrial life, it’s presented in a fast-paced and entertaining manner that will at least pique your curiosity on the subject.

Even though we weren’t completely turned off by Taylor Kitsch’s performance, his presence in The Defeated transforms the show from something intriguing to something that could either get really good or go south in a hurry.

Hallowed Ground reframes Eyes on the Prize for the 21st century while also encouraging us to dig into the award-winning series. It stirs up some emotion and surely offers some inspiration to the next generation of activists — just like Hampton did.

If you’re into American Horror Story for the horror, you’re going to have a blast. If not, then Double Feature has some killer performances from your favorites that you won’t want to miss.

It’s an enjoyably ludicrous premise which sits somewhere between Agatha Christie classic And Then There Were None, recent aristocratic horror comedy Ready or Not and mid-‘00s one-season wonder Harper’s Island. The acting, on the other hand, is more daytime soap opera. ... By taking aim at the privilege of the 1%, the most satisfying [chapter], too. But we’d still prefer Cronenberg to take the director’s chair for season five.

Sparking Joy did just what its title described while we watched it. Kondo’s preternatural calm was fascinating to watch and the way the transformed spaces transformed people’s lives made for emotionally satisfying TV.

Something feels vaguely unsettling about The D’Amelio Show. What made us squinchy wasn’t Charli D’Amelio herself; she seems to have her head screwed on straight. ... We’re not sure about the rest of the D’Amelios. ... It doesn’t really give much insight into teens and sudden social media fame, except for the fact that commenters really, really suuuuuuck.

If you want to know about the mission and the crew, read up on it and skip the first two episodes of Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission To Space. We’re hoping that once Hehir turns to the mission itself, the docuseries will get more interesting and less of a butt-kissing exercise.

On The Verge is so disjointed in its storytelling and so surface with its character development that it actually made us not want to see another episode.

Kin starts a bit muddled but the performances and story setup give us a good feeling that the tension will ratchet up as the series goes along.

Little Ellen is a vibrant, funny show for the PreK set that gives fun lessons in being adaptable and resilient, and viewers should be able to enjoy it, whether they’re fans of DeGeneres or not.

The Harper House has plenty of curb appeal: Goofy characters, real-life sentiment, a mildly acidic tone. It probably won’t be the best house on the block, but it’s funny enough to warrant taking in a few more episodes.

What this version of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe lacks in nostalgia it more than makes up for with smart dialogue, good CGI, and its ability to start building the world of Eternia from scratch with a compelling story.

Jaguar has great action sequences and doesn’t try to overthink its premise. For once, we’re almost happy that we don’t get backstory for every single main character, because it made room for a more exciting first episode.

Thanks to Thornton’s consistent performance and the addition of heavy hitters like J.K. Simmons and Bruce Dern, it’s more than worth your while.

Russell Hornby is a powerful presence as Charles Flenory; we’re interested to see how he continues to influence his sons as their empire grows.

The unexpected guest spots, like Duchovny as the depressed ice cream truck driver, are also hilarious. But what Dildarian has done a good job of is building the community around Tom, where characters voiced by people like John Malkovich fit in well.

It’s Dave Chappelle. This special really is geared toward people who have been paying attention to his previous performances. ... Chappelle clearly wants to go out with a bang. If he meant his YouTube special (8:46) as his own rallying cry that Black Lives Matter, and his IG videos as a way to show other entertainers how to fight for their own rights, then he intends for The Closer to blaze a path for other stand-up comedians to survive and thrive in this moment when anyone and everyone feels they can try to “cancel” you over your words.

Only because of Osment’s lead performance and the hope that the characters in Pretty Smart will have their extreme quirks edged off a bit as the group and Chelsea start to bond.

If you were a fan of the original Legends Of The Hidden Temple, this reboot will bring back fond memories. But even if you weren’t (we were adults when the show came out), it’s still a light, fun watch that leans completely into its goofiness.

Romero’s zombie movies were as much about societal ills as they were about the undead. This new version of Day Of The Dead tries to mimic that formula, but doesn’t follow through with good enough storylines or characters that we care about.

The series does a bang-up job of easing you back into the world and organically weaving the info you need to know into the character dialogue and motivations. ... By exploding the plot, the sophomore season does what the best go-for-broke storytelling does: it will leave you craving more.

Home Sweet Home is not a reality show where you watch for the “gotcha” moments. But there’s more than enough interesting scenes in each episode to give the viewer a nice, heartwarming family watch on a Friday night.

The Next Thing You Eat is equal parts foodie show and quirky investigative documentary, emphasizing the vital nature of the human side of the industry while also examining what the future might hold.

If the first episode is any indication, the cases are still the same brand of Jerry Springer-esque crazy that they’ve always been. ... For them [fans], Judy Justice should be more of what they love, even if it doesn’t really break new ground for Sheindlin or the judge-show genre.

While Tampa Baes certainly gifts us with a few memorable reality characters, the show’s drama feels forced and the cast does not feel representative of Tampa’s diverse LGBTQ population.
