  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Whether you’re a true crime junkie or a casual viewer there’s plenty in Heaven’s Gate to interest you. Robert Balch and David Taylor’s accounts of going undercover into the organization are especially compelling.
  4. Despite the fact that Sex Education has gone through some big changes this season, it’s still very well worth a binge for the genuine laughs and heartfelt emotion that each episode brings.
  5. Like the original series, Mystery Road: Origin layers lots of stories into a slow-burn story involving Jay Swan’s very complicated life.

    A howling satire of our real world and the superhero fictions we create, The Boys also features a ripping mean streak all its own. It’s brash. It’s bloody. And if the boys wanna fight, you better let ‘em.
  6. Dead To Me has a pace that never lets up, with plot and dialogue that are consistently, furiously both dramatic and hilarious. The first episode of season three seamlessly picks up where season two’s dramatic end left off, but it also introduces several new twists, including a precarious health situation for Judy, that you’re going to want ti see through to the very end.
  7. This show is just as fun and irreverent as its title, but there’s actually more going on beneath that surface of snark.
  8. 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.
  9. The early going of Invasion season two definitely has fun with the idea that a tech mogul disruptor-in-chief could one day enter a mind meld with encroaching aliens. Nikhil will be one to watch as his motives become more clear.
  10. With much of its principal cast back in the saddle, Borgen: Power & Glory is a welcome return for a terrific Danish political thriller that hasn’t let up the tension since its 2010 premiere.
  11. Already adding more layers of emotion into the show’s usual rapid-fire dialogue. Keeso is great at the loudmouthery in Shoresy, and the heady hockey-centric stuff. But between the lines of season 4, it really feels like the sensitivity that’s steadily grown within Keeso’s performance will become the biggest factor.
  12. The Other One takes a unique look at death and mourning, couched in a story about two families thrown together under extreme circumstances. The show’s warmth is established almost right away and will only get better.
  13. Only Murders In The Building continues to be funny while presenting solid mysteries for Mabel, Charles and Oliver to solve.
  14. This is a fun show to watch, and all of the roughness Safdie throws at Sandler only just helps to show that what makes a comedy special special isn’t the big stage or production value, but the intimacy between the performer and their audience. And Sandler has that in spades.
  15. 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.
  16. There is also the reasons why the seemingly put-together Candy managed to snap to begin with. Going back to reconstruct all of that will be interesting to watch, especially given the performances of Biel and Lynskey. ... Candy makes a good case that more true-crime dramas should be about the lead up and the aftermath of an event, not the event itself.
  17. The Sixth Commandment lays out the true story of the Ben Field case in a deliberate but effective manner, punctuated by some fine lead performances.
  18. By scaling down the scope of the Season 5 story, at least to start Noah Hawley has brought Fargo back to the show that we enjoyed so much during its first two seasons.
  19. Kevin Can F**k Himself quickly moves past its high concept to show the picture of a woman in crisis, and we’re excited to see how she tries to improve things through the first season.
  20. The fact that this group has such good chemistry with each other despite not being in the same room, and the fact that Gero and Gall are able to craft story arcs as we go through the pandemic is almost miraculous. We genuinely laughed many times through the three episodes NBC sent for review.
  21. Cunk On Life is often laugh-out-loud funny, mainly because Diane Morgan plays Philomena Cunk with just the right tone; Cunk is dumb, ignorant about her own stupidity, and confident in that stupidity without being cocky. Combined with Brooker’s dry sense of humor, it’s a formula that Netflix can count on for the next number of years.
  22. Created by Ranganathan and Benjamin Green, Avoidance is a touching, funny picture of a man trying to make himself better for the sake of his son. We don’t know how much of Jonathan’s crippling fear of confrontation is part of Ranganathan’s personal history, but he and Green have created a character that we can all relate to on some level.
  23. The performances of Ashford and Quaid, and the wry tone of Happy Face are what makes us want to keep watching.
  24. Secrets We Keep is a thriller that doesn’t try to distract viewers by sending them down too many dead ends, and tells a story about class, race and wealth in the process.
  25. Controlling Britney Spears is equal parts shocking and infuriating, a necessary examination of the reality of the pop icon’s conservatorship and why so many have been calling for her freedom for so long.
  26. Allan Scott and Scott Frank have done a fine job of adapting the long sought-after 1983 novel and exploring the phases of Beth Harmon’s life.
  27. Even though we now know what happened to Maddie’s body, there is still plenty of mysteries to unravel in the second season of School Spirits, and the season is off to a fast start with an action-filled first episode.
  28. Season three proves that the show is still as reliably funny and original as ever thanks the array of funny supporting characters and an intriguing plot refresh.
  29. More than past installments, Rick and Morty Season 6 intertwines classic adventures with more plot-heavy elements for a season that feels more confident in itself than ever before.
