  1. While the episode with McElhenny, Waters and Konkle was funny, the episode that starred Grant was funny and heartwarming.
  2. The gameplay in Million Dollar Secret moves along at a good clip, and the playfully arch Serafinowicz really adds some fun to a format that we’ve been seeing a lot of lately.
  3. The fact that Rogen, Goldberg and company manage to give everyone else a chance to be over-the-top funny makes for a good balance, with Matt’s desire to make good films grounding everyone else’s motivations of greed and ambition.
  4. For the most part, David Blaine Do Not Attempt is an enjoyable look at people who achieve amazing feats through endurance and control of their emotions. Blaine’s attempts at the stunts are sometimes pulse-pounding and sometimes ridiculous, but the show is never boring.
  5. Ludwig is a fun mystery series to follow, mainly because of David Mitchell’s performance as a reluctant detective who’d rather just create puzzles alone in his flat than solve murders.
  6. While not hilarious, The Residence has funny moments. Paired with Uzo Aduba’s mesmerizing performance as Cordelia Cupp, the show is very watchable.
  7. The performances of Ashford and Quaid, and the wry tone of Happy Face are what makes us want to keep watching.
  8. There are some stories that are not well served when they’re made into scripted dramas. Because of the muddled details, the Natalia Grace case is one of them, and the lack of nuance in Good American Family is a good indicator that viewers are better off watching docuseries about Natalia’s case rather than this drama.
  9. We’re willing to give Protection a pass because of Siobhan Finneran’s lead performance, but the show feels like it’s weighed down by a lot of British cop show cliches.
  10. Devil In The Family: The Fall Of Ruby Franke is interesting because of the participation of Franke’s ex-husband and their two oldest children. Yes, it’s a tale of a family vlogger whose real family life was pretty dark. But the viewpoint of Kevin, Shari and Chad Franke really brings home just how horrible Ruby Franke was.
  11. Because of the shooting style, each promises to have the same intensity as the first episode, and we’re looking forward to seeing just how the case — which at first blush, looks like it’s a pretty strong one against Jamie — tests everyone involved, and their perceptions of just who is capable of horrific acts like Katie’s murder.
  12. Between Seyfried’s performance and the bread crumbs we get about Mickey’s past in the first episode, there’s enough to keep us watching Long Bright River. But we can’t shake the feeling that, without Seyfried in the mix, the show would be indistinguishable from other procedurals of its type.
  13. The series is only getting more ambitious as it moves into season 3, which rewards the viewer with greater stakes for core characters we’ve come to know.
  14. Much like last year’s version, this one retains a mix of the early years of Jimmy Kimmel Live! with the spirit of Saturday Night Live, broken up by footage of Los Angeles and its inhabitants talking to the camera as if they were extras in How To With John Wilson. .... Thank goodness for any differences he’s bringing to the format!
  15. Am I Being Unreasonable? continues to be one of the darkest of dark comedies out there, though there may not be as many twists and turns as the first season had.
  16. While Oh My God…Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances isn’t quite as funny as it should be, we like Williams’ vision of a near-future South Central and the really crazy friendship that the main trio has forged.
  17. While we’re not in love with the separate storylines for the show’s main characters, season 3 of Dark Winds continues to combine Native mysticism with whodunits rooted in the real world, all anchored by the reassuring presence of McClarnon.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. In Season 4, while Raq’s relationship with Kanan contains both promise and peril, Kanan’s exploration of where he personally fits into his larger family history broadens the scope of what we’re learning about the character.
  21. While Douglas Is Cancelled has a lot of story flaws, the dialogue is funny for the most part and is expertly delivered by Wilkinson, Gillan, Kingston and the rest of the cast, which might be enough to endure this non-controversy for four 40-minute episodes.

    For half a decade, The Righteous Gemstones has quietly been one of the best comedies on television, providing laughs and joy to anyone with a sick sense of humor and possibly a touch of religious trauma. The fourth and final season, which premieres on March 9 on HBO, is no exception and proves to be a hallelujah of a sendoff to one of television’s most underrated hits.
  22. Because of the funny moments, and the idea that these two coddled young men are now going to have to get into hardcore criminal activity, we are feeling pretty good about the prospects that the first season of Deli Boys will be entertaining.
  23. The Leopard is boring, with a large ensemble that blends into the background, except for the three main characters. It’s definitely a show about a part of history most people outside Europe know little about, and the show’s dullness will make it hard for people to connect to that story.
  24. Rather than offering any real insight into Richards’ life, the show feels more like a platform for her to stay in the spotlight.
  25. By the end of the first episode, we were rooting hard for Andy, Gabriel and Jake to become a strong family unit, which is certainly a product of the show’s strong performances and inventive storytelling.
  26. Fans of the original Daredevil series should enjoy Daredevil: Born Again, because it continues the original series’ story and its dark tone, with a story that’s feels like it’s going to build to an exciting climax.
  27. A disappointment for those of us hoping for something more authentic.
  28. As a resolute Celtics hater, it brings me absolutely no pleasure to report this, but Celtics City is quite good, and has appeal for fans of any NBA team–even the 29 that the Celtics like to look down their noses at.
  29. Kate Hudson is the best part of Running Point, but Kaling, Ko, Barinholtz and Stassen have built a winning ensemble around her, with a story that’s not only a workplace comedy, but one about family, as well.
