Django will make for a good distraction if you’re into classic Westerns, but if you’re looking for complex morality plays, you’re probably out of luck.

Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy does a solid job of laying out how everything at Travis Scott’s 2021 concert pretty much went wrong. But to truly be a STREAM IT, we feel like it would have to offer something more definitive than simply being a part of Netflix’s track record of Trainwreck docs.

What we’re not sure about is if this show is going to take some scary twists or if this is going to become just a standard-grade murder mystery that just has some creepy elements.

STREAM IT if you like watching reality and internet clips and making fun of them with a wink and a nod. SKIP IT if you’re expecting the same kind of snark you saw during Joel McHale’s run.

We’re recommending it on the strength of Gomez’s lead performance and Lawrence’s ability to guide his showrunners to better episodes as his shows first seasons go along. But it’s too generic at this point to be considered a decent family sitcom, much less a successor to such a well-loved ’80s series.

The Real Dirty Dancing is a mindless distraction if you’re in the mood for it. It’s got plenty of nostalgia for the film baked in, and it seems that celebs are game. But the show is about as memorable as what you had for breakfast.

Ultimately, the opening foray into Monsterland isn’t quite exemplary, although it has its share of strong moments. Here’s hoping its thematic ambition, not its narrative sloppiness, is an indicator of episodes to come.

Your enjoyment of this series depends as much upon how well you know and follow the Whitehalls (as it does upon your enjoyment of reality TV projects in general). If you’ve loved watching the exploits of Jack and his dad in the past, or already love binging lite reality, then you’re obviously going to want to STREAM IT. But if you haven’t experienced Jack Whitehall and his dad before now, this might not be the best first introduction to them.

Only because Snipes plays such a dynamic role as Carlton, and his chemistry with Hart is fun to watch. The rest of True Story feels manufactured, and Hart’s role is too close to reality to separate the Kid from Hart, especially when he’s complaining about being rich and famous.

Those of you out there who relish the escapism of sleazy junk like this may appreciate it for its too-hot-for-network-TV moments, and possibly for its scintillating iguana content.

Parenthood definitely changes you, and we’re curious to see if the male contestants in Labor Of Love are truly ready for the responsibility. We just wish the format weren’t so damned skeevy.

Ultimate Tag is the perfect kind of show to keep your mind off being stuck at home.

We hope the muddled first episode of Ragdoll isn’t an indication of where the series is going. The Ragdoll Killer presents an interesting case, but there’s so much thrown into the mix that we get the feeling the mystery is going to suffer under a pile of quips and contrivances.

I’m on the fence with The Comey Rule — it’s not revelatory, and mostly tells us what we already know. When it’s entertaining, it seems almost unintentional. But ultimately, it’s a curiosity watch that’ll compel you to stick with it through its entirety.

Skip the first episode, go to episode two and stream it instead before you make your decision to commit to the rest of the season. The sketches in the season premiere don’t really heighten effectively past their premises, while at least the second episode, also available now, goes a bit harder.

There’s lots about Departure that’s really silly, but Panjabi and Plummer carry the series into the realm of respectability.

Stream it, but only because Rosselló’s story is so harrowing. The series itself is done in such a lurid manner, and is stretched out so thin, that it’s tough to wade through the BS to get to whatever new information the series is offering.

We’ll give the show a tentative recommendation. But this show is the rare case where the first episode just doesn’t give viewers enough to figure out whether the show is worth watching, and what we did see didn’t get us all that excited about what’s to come.

Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous so far seems more appealing to tween audiences, who won’t mind too much if it coasts on franchise fumes. Maybe it’ll reach its potential after another episode or two.

STREAM IT, if you’re a fan of the Spartacus franchise. If you’re not, you’re going to be too confused and confounded by Spartacus: House Of Asher to want to continue past the first couple of episodes, so SKIP IT

It may be gross to watch, it may have too much testosterone running through it, but dammit, I liked watching these dopes suffer.

This is a marginal recommendation because we’re hoping The Sounds gets better as the mystery progresses. But in the slow first episode, not a lot happens, which makes us even more annoyed when information is purposely held back from viewers.

Stream it, but only if you really loved Season 1 of Carnival Row. The first episode of its final season is a big mess storywise, and doesn’t help viewers catch up from a first season that seems like it debuted eons ago.

Secret Invasion has a fascinating concept and some truly incredible performances for an MCU joint, but its writing and direction both fall a little flat. It’s the kind of serious show that Marvel fans were thirsting for five years ago, but now might cause some viewers to nod off.

The first eight (of ten) episodes of Only Murders in the Building Season 3 left me feeling decidedly “meh.” Sure, you can’t really snub your nose at Meryl Streep bantering with Martin Short — even I have to admit that watching the show’s stars collide is worth the price of admission — but the storytelling kept letting me down.

Three Women might have worked better as an anthology, but in its current format, it has too many superfluous elements and not enough actual drama.

Despite some interesting elements and the steadying presence of Vaughn, the sillier elements of Tyler Perry’s She The People overwhelm what could have been a funny story about messy families and racial politics.

Twisted Metal is noisy and violent, with some decent performances, but that’s about it.
