  1. The Terminal List: Dark Wolf: Season 1
    We don’t know if Dark Wolf is gonna show us exactly how Ben Edwards became the Dark Wolf, which as a title feels airport novel generic. But we are interested in Taylor Kitsch building on the brood he brought to the Edwards role in Terminal List, or perhaps showing us how he got that way in the first place. And yeah, the guns and jocularity and serious people saying stuff like “Team 1, go!” into ear bud microphones – that’ll be here, too, which is its own draw for shows such as this.
  2. Playing Nice
    While the first episode of Playing Nice is a bit predictable, the performances of the leads, along with the prospects of what will happen in the rest of the series, adds tension to the psychological thriller.
  3. Upload: Season 4
    Based on this episode alone, there’s definitely no shortage of shocking reveals, big laughs, and moving moments to come in Upload: Season 4, so it feels safe to say that if you’ve invested in this show thus far, you absolutely will want to see how it all ends.
  4. Long Story Short: Season 1
    Long Story Short is a warm family comedy that will hit home to some degree to anyone who has a loving but complicated relationship with their families.
  5. Invasion (2021): Season 3
    Invasion is as much about human relationships that evolve in the face of an extinction event as much as it is about thwarting the invasion, and reestablishing these relationships, and introducing us to some new ones, will go a long way in not making this season feel like a rehash.
  6. Peacemaker: Season 2
    Peacemaker continues to be a funny but emotional superhero drama, with a surprisingly effective performance by Cena at its center, with a fun-to-watch ensemble around him.
  7. Hostage
    Hostage is a solid political thriller made better by the performances of Suranne Jones and Julie Delpy, especially when they’re on screen together.
  8. Limitless With Chris Hemsworth: Season 2
    Chris Hemsworth is personally engaging and does seem genuinely engaged as he undertakes a new round of mental and physical challenges in Limitless: Live Better Now.
  9. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox
    While there are aspects of The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox that we found annoying and unnecessary, we appreciated how Grace Van Patten portrays Knox, showing the aspects of her personality that annoyed Italian authorities so much they sent her to prison for murder.
  10. America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys
    Love ‘em or hate ‘em–if you’re a football fan, you’ve got strong opinions on the Dallas Cowboys, and America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is a sharp, swaggering story of their finest era.
  11. Women Wearing Shoulder Pads: Season 1
    Women Wearing Shoulder Pads gives us a weird, somewhat creepy, but ultimately funny story about women and cuys in 1980s Ecuador.
  12. Are You My First?: Season 1
    The “funny” narration from Underwood and Bristowe is completely unnecessary and feels like it was added during post-production because the producers found that the show was too boring. .... It leaves us completely skeptical that all of the contestants are who they say they are.
  13. Magic City: An American Fantasy
    Magic City: An American Fantasy is a fun look at a club that was integral to making Atlanta one of the country’s most desirable and diverse cities.
  14. The Rainmaker: Season 1
    While everyone does a good job in their roles, the story at the center of The Rainmaker feels like something we’d see in a CBS law procedural, not a Grisham-based legal drama.
  15. Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser
    Fit For TV: The Reality Of The Biggest Loser doesn’t reveal anything new to people who were fans of the reality competition series. But it definitely does a good job of showing exactly why it was popular and why it was a dangerous show for its contestants.
  16. Butterfly (2025): Season 1
    We’re liking some of the spicy international flavor Butterfly is featuring amid its central dispute between spy world adversaries Daniel Dae Kim and Piper Perabo. But we’re also looking for the actual action in this action series to really establish itself. Butterfly is a tentative Stream It.
  17. Red Eye (2024): Season 1
    Even though we know that Red Eye is going to have some ridiculous plot turns, with Nolan and Li doing things that make them look like superheroes instead of regular Brits, the performances of the four main characters have us excited to see where this story goes next.
  18. Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne
    Is Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne the contemplative Peanuts that we know and love? Not really. But shifting the perspective to the usually confident Lucy, and showing a moment where she has a lack of confidence, is refreshing and welcome.
  19. Built In Birmingham: Brady & the Blues: Season 1
    This ultimately feels like a hollow exercise with high production values, a celebrity vehicle with no script but a lot of flashy graphics. .... I’m sure Tom Brady owns lots of other things, too. Maybe a yacht or a golf course. I don’t need to watch documentaries on those, either.
  20. Dope Girls: Season 1
    Strong performances and an interesting story drive Dope Girls. The first episode was well-paced and explained the main characters’ situations well enough to make us want to watch the rest of the story.
  21. Irish Blood: Season 1
    The only reason why we’re recommending Irish Blood is that we like Silverstone and the rest of the cast. But the first episode has some tone and story problems that definitely give us pause about the rest of the first season.
  22. Demascus: Season 1
    Demascus is funny in the right spots and weird in all the right ways, but it’s also an interesting take on Black identity, whether it’s in the current world or the technology-enhanced version of it that’s in the series.
  23. Platonic: Season 2
    While we’re still not fully on board with the relationship at the center of Platonic, we can see where it might be going in the second season, and it’s a direction that makes a whole lot more sense for Will and Sylvia as their lives shift and change.
  24. Wednesday: Season 2
    Wednesday continues to be a funny, scary delight because of Ortega’s performance and because Burton has gone all in with the nightmarish imagery written by Gough, Millar and the show’s writers.
  25. Alien: Earth: Season 1
    [Noah Hawley] excels at taking existing IP and contorting it in new ways to reveal what really sets those universes apart. He does that once more in Alien: Earth. .... I very much dug the incredible performances of Alien: Earth‘s ensemble cast. .... The cinematography is lush, the production design sumptuous, and the kills are horrifying.
  26. Running with the Wolves: Season 1
    I was skeptical going in, but Running With the Wolves cares enough about the actual sport to make you care, too.
  27. The Yogurt Shop Murders
    The makers of The Yogurt Shop Murders are not just curious about the case but how deeply the case affected Austin and the people who were intimately involved with it over the past three decades, an approach that we wish we saw more often in true crime docs.
  28. King of the Hill: Season 14
    Fifteen years after we last saw the Hills, King Of The Hill basically picks up where it left off by doing what it does best: Telling funny and warm stories about the Hills and the people in Arlen.
  29. Marc Maron: Panicked
    Maron’s at the top of his game, and we’re all the better for it.
  30. Chief of War: Season 1
    We felt instantly immersed in this 18th century Pacific island world, before contact by Westerners, where omens and prophecies are all powerful and the stars above are as important a guide as what the land and sea can give.
