  1. Olympo needs to tighten up its plotting in order for it to be more than just scenes of perfect bodies in motion, whether that motion is athletic or sexual.
  2. The stories of the women on the DCC squad are what make America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders worth watching, even if the format sometimes feels repetitive.
  3. Despite the excellent cast, there were lines and situations that were so clunky and predictable that we shook our heads that they made it to the final cut. But there is an interesting twist at the end of the episode that leads us to believe that some of the clunkiness will eventually be ironed out.
  4. While there are good performances and some interesting characters in We Were Liars, we were pretty bored with the nondescript teenage characters at the show’s center, and wanted to scream every time we heard Candence’s narration.
  5. The Buccaneers Season 2 levels up in almost every way, even when it’s concocting popcorn love triangles, and is well worth the weekly tune-in.
  6. The story of Outrageous is deathly serious, but the vibe is still somehow effervescently fun. This balance makes it intoxicating. .... Outrageous is the platonic ideal of what the period drama can be.
  7. It’s an upscale version of the classic primetime soap and one that’s perfect to get lost in when real life drama is too much.
  8. FUBAR continues to be a stupid good time, and we love it when Arnold doesn’t take himself seriously in a role. But with the addition of Moss as Greta, we wonder if the second season story will be more about generic spycraft and less about Luke’s family strife.
  9. While the evacuation aspect of Families Like Us makes us almost as queasy as one of the characters became while hearing that news, it does set up an interesting circumstance to explore family bonds and how they change in extreme situations.
  10. Call Her Alex is fan service for Call Her Daddy listeners for sure, but there’s no denying that Alex Cooper is a woman who earned success on her own terms, and her story will absolutely appeal even to non-fans.
  11. While the world of Patience is humming along pretty well in Season 4 of Resident Alien, we’re still here to watch Alan Tudyk do his thing.
  12. While Art Detectives isn’t really doing anything revolutionary format-wise, Moyer’s charm and the art-centric themes to the crimes Palmer and Malik investigate does make this show stand out from the sea of British mystery series that are streaming these days.
  13. The action and revenge story in Mercy For None is enough to keep us watching, and the episodes are well-paced. But we really need to see more context about the rivalry between the gangs in order to really get invested in this story.
  14. It’s all well-done here, but there isn’t a whole lot about the story that’s engaging us and inviting us to keep watching.
  15. Death Valley is a funny mystery series with a good pairing at its center. Let’s hope the mysteries improve as the season goes along.
  16. We’re happy to see Phineas And Ferb back with new adventures, and after ten years away, it’s as fun and creative as ever.
  17. We still can’t buy into the raunch-for-raunch’s-sake tone of Tires, even if the characters are at least starting to get personalities and motivations that go beyond just saying offensive things.
  18. Thanks to the expertly crafted plots that jump from breezy high school scenes to courtroom drama to uncomfortable and even threatening flashbacks, Ginny & Georgia makes murder fun. Well, I mean, not fun, but…no, actually, I do mean fun.
  19. Mr. Loverman is a tour de force for Lennie James, but it’s also an affecting story of a man who struggles to be his true self and knows what the consequences are if he comes out at his advanced age.

    Stick is as funny as it is wholesome, and as wholesome as it is endearing. This silly golf comedy is winner in every sense and a show you might just restart the moment the final credits roll.
  20. Duck Dynasty: The Revival might just be the silly, goofy fun you need after a hard week of working and watching the news, especially if you identify with the Robertsons’ credo of “Faith, family and ducks.”
  21. The Mortician effectively shows just how ghoulish the things David Sconce did to people’s loved ones really was, and does so mostly through Sconce’s own words.
  22. Dept. Q spends a lot of its first episode in misdirection mode, but by the end it has set up an intriguing case that’s being followed by an interesting-to-watch group of cops.
  23. I just can’t stop loving And Just Like That… and I also could not stop binging the first six episodes that were sent to critics recently. It might not be good TV, but I firmly believe it is top tier entertainment.
  24. For them [fans], it’s a definite STREAM IT. But for the less invested, the show’s obsessions with sex and swearing might feel one-dimensional.

    Tt ultimately reads as a stale and redundant crime thriller that doesn’t thrill at all. In fact, at times I struggled to stay interested in one part of the show. .... You’re better off queueing up Defending Jacob, Bad Sisters, Presumed Innocent, or The Sinner instead.
  25. Adults definitely starts out a bit frantic, and the characters a bit cartoonish, but there is more than enough that’s funny about this group of friends that makes us want to spend more time with them.
  26. The central mystery of Boglands is definitely intriguing enough to keep viewers interested, but we liked the fact that the characters’ personalities are solidly established before the investigation gets started.
  27. The dad stuff may hit home for many viewers. But what’ll definitely stand out to comedy fans is Birbiglia’s description of his invitation to join Jim Gaffigan, Chris Rock, Conan O’Brien and other comedians on a trip to the Vatican last summer to meet Pope Francis. There’s fun to be had just in learning more about this. But the comedian also takes this moment to hammer home how his views of the church differed from those of his parents, and how he’ll still zing the Catholics for their multi-generation molestation scandal
  28. This hour feels like a reset. .... Getting to peer behind the proverbial curtain of fame and fortune (it’s quite something to hear a comedian reveal themselves to be a multimillionaire!) feels more special when the famous person isn’t dropping a lot of names, just truth bombs.
