  1. Carol Burnett: 90 Years Of Laughter + Love is a pretty straightforward tribute special, but the parade of A-listers, along with the entertaining clips of Burnett’s amazing career, makes the special a fun way to spend two hours.
  2. Irma Vep is very loose and naturalistic, combining footage from the original Les Vampires with scenes shot for the show-within-a-show. But we’re just happy to see that Vikander’s story as Mira will be accompanied by a well-thought-out story about the production itself.
  3. The show remains hilarious, ambitious, and binge-worthy as it carries itself to the finish line.
  4. Because The Recruit is at its heart a silly action series, its success really leans on Centineo’s charm and the comedic vibe of the show’s writing, and that continues in the second season.
  5. The series is not only entertaining and admirable but also an important look at what so many women, even those at the very top of their game in the entertainment industry, have to go through and pretend it’s all good when it very clearly is not.
  6. Taskmaster is so funny, we wonder why it hasn’t come to the US sooner. And yes, we don’t count that Reggie Watts version.
  7. Us manages to be funny and heartfelt despite documenting what looks to be the end of a long marriage. Even if the story isn’t for you, though, you may just watch so you can start planning your next big vacation.
  8. Any chance to try to understand Pete Davidson a bit better is an opportunity worth taking, especially if you’re the type to absorb all of the tabloid fodder about him.
  9. Fridge Wars has just enough of a twist to make the cooking competition format fun, and it seems like everyone is having fun trying to figure out how to make a dish from what’s in random people’s refirigerators.
  10. The dialogue is as snappy as ever, and the spying scenes are just as tense as you’ve come to expect. If anything, these elements have only been sharpened in Season 2.
  11. Immigration Nation packs a powerful punch, showing the people affected by the Trump administration’s immigration policy up close. But how you feel about the docuseries will depend on where you fall in the debate.
  12. Whether you’re a fan of The Boys or not, you’ll enjoy the animated shorts in The Boys Presents: Diabolical, mainly because they tell good stories with funny character-driven gags.
  13. The Chestnut Man has an intriguing mystery and strong lead characters. It’s a prime example of why Scandi noir is such a popular genre.
  14. 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.
  15. Welcome to Derry excels in juggling its numerous storylines (so far) and offers great showcases for actors Chris Chalk and Jovan Adepo, as well as its countless scene-stealing child stars. It’s unclear if the HBO show will be able stick its scary landing, but the first batch of episodes prove to be spine-chilling fun this spooky season.
  16. A story that’s full of drama and emotion, punctuated with moments of comedy that are truly dark.
  17. Ultimately, the show wants us to be as hopeful as Edelman, while also reminding us that sometimes we need safe spaces to simply exist. And we sure need a lot of hope right now.
  18. Life On Our Planet is a fascinating look at how life evolved on Earth, with stunning visual effects that show how long-extinct species might have lived.
  19. Minhaj has always been more of an engaging storyteller than a joke craftsman. In this special, he remains in full control of the audience, masterfully pulling “awwwws” and applause breaks out of them with the greatest of ease.
  20. We want to see more of Marcus, whom we think got the short end of the narrative stick in Season 2. But for the most part, if the rest of Season 3 of Hacks is as satisfying as the first episode was, we’ll be pretty happy.
  21. While Young Sherlock is certainly stylish, it doesn’t forsake substance for that style, setting up Sherlock Holmes’ first big case in a way that digs into the characters of Sherlock, Moriarty and others that are familiar to Holmes fans.
  22. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a charming new addition to the Game of Thrones franchise that will woo you back to Westeros.
  23. Black Knight may take a couple of episodes to fully build out its world, but it’s not a slow-paced introduction to this post-apocalyptic version of Seoul, with stunning visuals and well-done fight sequences.
  24. The first episode does an excellent job of hooking you in, but it’s the gorgeous animation, fantastic dubbing, and excellent music that’ll keep you coming back for more. If you’ve been looking for a reason to return to the feudal era of Japan, consider this your sign.
  25. It’s a show that embraces melodrama, yes, but it’s also full of heart; it perfectly balances soul with soapiness, turning these students into characters but also keeping their cores intact.

    Its breakneck pace and flashy mix of genre-bending elements combine to craft a series that’s difficult to look away from and impossible to ignore. HBO’s latest Sunday night offering isn’t so much of a layup as it is a slam dunk, delivering a fun, glitzy origin story of an iconic NBA dynasty.
  26. The Ghost Bride is a fun show that lightens up on the history and leans in on the mystery, with a sprinkle of romance mixed in.
  27. The creepiness of the unknown enemy in The Eternaut is what drives this show, even as Salvo and other survivors get together to try to fight whoever it is they’re fighting, and we’re here for it.
  28. Big Mouth is still as raunchy, funny, and surprisingly sweet as ever.
  29. The world of Fallout expands in Season 2, but all of it still feels focused on the overall story of a post-apocalyptic world created by greed and avarice trying to survive.
