  1. The Choe Show is full of artsy weirdness, but the interviews are genuine, as are the responses David Choe gets from the friends he talks to.
  2. Power Book III: Raising Kanan is a prequel that not only captures a particular place at a particular time but also builds a world that can quickly help the show stand alone from its parent series.
  3. The episodes of Through Our Eyes are short but informative, not because they’re crammed with statistics, but because they feature kids who are going through real-life issues and managing to live full childhoods despite their circumstances.
  4. Going with animation not only allows us to visualize Notaro’s funny trips down her own Memory Lane, but also enjoy a lighter take on her interaction with the crowd at Largo (dubbed La Venue in Drawn). ... Notaro may be a notoriously dry comedian, perhaps too dry for some tastes? So this also may be your best chance to see her in a completely new light. Or 11 new lights.
  5. 100 Foot Wave brings to bear the sheer force of the waves its subject is surfing, but is enlightening, too, offering insights into the world of professional tow-in surfing and the personalities involved in making it happen at sea level.
  6. Tattoo Redo is fun makeover show that sets the right tone by making fun of the awful tattoos people get while celebrating the artists that do an expert job of covering them up.
  7. If you’re jonesing for a musical story after watching Schmigadoon!, start streaming Centaurworld, even if you don’t have kids. It’s funny and strange all at once, and the music is pretty darn good.
  8. Myth & Mogul: John DeLorean succeeds because it’s nicely-paced, with moving graphics filling in information where a narrator might in similar docuseries. It also succeeds because of the access director/producer Mike Connolly got to important people in DeLorean’s story during the era when he designed his now infamous car. ... Where the docuseries really shines is in the footage that Pennebaker’s family provided. It fills in the other blanks that most docuseries have to use reenactments to fill.
  9. The Prince is essentially a royal version of Family Guy, and not nearly as biting or funny as Janetti’s former series is.
  10. Small Town News: KPVM Pahrump is funny as heck, but it also shows just how tough it is to run a news-driven local station, no matter how small the area it covers is.
  11. 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.
  12. Hit & Run boasts a fine international cast, an interesting premise, and opens up a lot of story avenues without confusing the viewer.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
  26. 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.
  27. 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.
  28. 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.
  29. 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.
