We’re on board for the thrill of the trip and the stunning visuals we’ll see on Long Way Up, plus seeing McGregor and Boorman renew their friendship will be fun. But the privilege shown on this trip is staggering and detracts from our enjoyment of the show.- Decider

As squinchy as we feel about the voyeurism in Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, we’re curious to see an inside look at how Gypsy Rose Blanchard has handled her first few months of true freedom in her adult life.- Decider

Nightsleeper has the potential to be a tense six-episode thrill ride or it could be a predictable bore. The first episode makes us think it might be the latter, but there are enough good elements in the first episode to keep us watching.- Decider

Ultimately, though, the show will come down to the chemistry between Mariela Garriga as Castillo and Maribel Verdú as Gutiérrez. The first episode doesn’t show the two of them interacting much, so the jury is still out there.- Decider

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is basically a love story wrapped in the usual TWD post-apocalyptic shell. But what we hope is that the love story breaks through that shell and shows us something we haven’t seen from the franchise before.- Decider

There is no need to watch Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal if you already watched The Ashley Madison Affair. But if you haven’t, it’s an entertaining — if cringe-inducing — docuseries about the dating site and how its users got exposed when its weak security was breached.- Decider

There’s nothing inherently wrong with When Life Gives You Tangerines, but your enjoyment of the series will fully depend on your tolerance of shows that are more dependent on slice-of-life stories than plot and conflict.- Decider

The entertainment value of the show comes down to the personalities of the cast. For now, the cast members haven’t distinguished themselves from each other for the most part, but there are definitely beefs there.- Decider

While it’s hard to say based on only three episodes that the show is anywhere near back to the heights of the beloved first season of the series, Neal has a steady handle on what works on Killing Eve. ... The show is at its best when it’s as off-kilter as Comer’s performance as Villanelle, and the first three hours capture that tone only sporadically- Decider

We’re going to give Still Up a shot because we like Antonia Thomas and Craig Roberts in the lead roles. But its format feels like it will get monotonous quickly, even if the chemistry between its stars is good.- Decider

The original Law & Order is the TV comfort food we need right now. Whether the show will really go deep into examining the reality of policing in the post-George-Floyd era is still to be determined. But, judging by the first episode, it’s going in the right direction.- Decider

While Krapopolis could be funnier, there’s more than enough character and story, as well as good voice performances, to keep us watching. Fox had to have seen something to give the show three seasons… right?- Decider

While there are still aspects of Squid Game: The Challenge we don’t love, like how the eliminated contestants are “killed,” we liked how the producers made the early stages of the competition more intimate and personal, despite the hundreds of contestants.- Decider

The Irrational works mainly because of Martin and the backstory he has with Hill’s character and the bombing case. The mysteries themselves are pretty bad, but that will matter less if the continuing story is good.- Decider

We trust Neil Cross knows how to tease out the truth of the story without annoying viewers. But the first episode just doesn’t give us a whole lot of confidence that we won’t get more annoyed the more the truth is teased out.- Decider

With a tried-and-true formula, SNL UK‘s cast most likely will find their voices and establish themselves as a separate entity, albeit with the same plusses and minuses that the American show has. Some sketches and performances will become legendary; but most, forgettable. Unless SNL UK can break out of this formula and determine what makes them special, the show may never match the heights of Monty Python, or even the Canadian alternatives from SCTV through Kids in the Hall.- Decider
