  1. The House Of The Spirits is a well-acted, beautifully-shot adaptation of Allende’s classic novel that takes its time to luxuriate in the lives of Clara and Esteban but keeps things moving as the story progresses through over 50 years.
  2. Yes, Should I Marry A Murderer? is completely one-sided. But Caroline Muirhead is so compelling to listen to as she recalls this harrowing story that we hung on her every word.
  3. What we hope is that the level of episodic mysteries on A Taste For Murder get a little bit better than the muddled one we saw in the first episode, because everything around those episodic cases makes for an interesting show.
  4. Another distinctive addition to Apple TV’s impressive library that delivered several agonizing jump scares, loads of laughs, and intrigued until the last second of the 10 episode season.
  5. While Flunked isn’t as funny as other recent school-based shows, the first episode introduces some potentially funny supporting characters, and the undercover aspect adds a lot of potential funny situations to explore.
  6. We wish After The Flood would concentrate on one story instead of the handful it has to juggle, because the talent in front and behind the camera is so good. But the show continues to be messy and muddled, and really hard to connect with.
  7. Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 is good enough that franchise completists aren’t going to cringe while watching it, and it may be a good way to introduce younger kids to the franchise. But we just wish it was a little scarier, and the character animation a little less weird.
  8. Running Point settles into a nice comedic groove in its second season, with an ensemble that works well together and new additions to the cast that fit in pretty well.
  9. As much as we like Jumbo and Capaldi, there’s nothing about Criminal Record‘s second season that holds our interest.
  10. While This Is A Gardening Show has some degree of Zach Galifianakis’ brand of awkward comedy, it doesn’t overwhelm his enthusiasm for the subject and how much that enthusiasm informs each episode.
  11. The Dark Wizard profiles an interesting, somewhat mysterious character in rock climber and thrill-seeker Dean Potter. Where did his tremendous, death-defying skill end and his zen and the art of climber’s mental maintenance begin?
  12. Subtlety isn’t really a strong suit of Unchosen, but what we hope is that the show’s rough edges in that category will be smoothed down as the psychological thriller at the core of the series develops.

    Perhaps Half Man‘s biggest flaw is the heavy-handed way in which Ruben menaces over the entire series. There are moments when Gadd is so ominous as Ruben it almost takes you out of the show’s dramatic atmosphere. .... Niall and Ruben’s journey together is worth sticking around for.
  13. Kevin works because it’s not just leaning on gags. It really tries to put its characters and stories in a position to be funny without leaning on gags, which makes the gags funny instead of fatiguing to watch.
  14. We think with the introduction of some new characters, Sullivan’s Crossing will get past the lost of Patterson and the full drift into Maggie’s love life, a plotline that just makes us shrug.
  15. With this being its last season, the quality and plot twists have only gotten better and it’s a must-watch for fans of the show (anyone who hasn’t seen previous seasons will absolutely be lost).
  16. We’re not sure the second season of Beef is going to be as satisfying as the first season was, but the story has a lot of places it can go, so we’re hopeful we can connect to it as the season goes along.

    With its vibrant and unique art style, engaging psychological drama, and compelling main character, Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun could very well be a hidden gem of Prime Video’s spring programming slate. Give it a chance.
  17. Margo’s Got Money Troubles has serious moments, but it’s a show that doesn’t try to take itself too seriously, and that sense of fun is going to make Margo’s journey to provide for her son very watchable.
  18. If you want to watch Kitchen Nightmares, go to Hulu and watch the old episodes. Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service feels like a remodel of Nightmares that makes what was a pretty silly show even sillier.
  19. While we’re still not sure The Audacity is going to be an ultimately satisfying show to watch, we are interested enough in the plot between Duncan and JoAnne to keep watching.
  20. Malcolm In The Middle: Life’s Still Unfair brings the original series’ chaotic energy to the 2020s, taking into account that the chaos just needs to be a little bit different nowadays.
  21. We’re definitely on board with watching how The Miniature Wife is going to pull things off, both technically and storywise, but mainly because we’re confident that Banks can handle the challenge of playing someone shrunk down to six inches, and Macfadyen is always so good at playing weasels.
  22. Bad Mistakes works mostly because we like watching Levy and Ortega’s chemistry as siblings, and we’ll always be there to see Laurie Metcalf do her thing. We’re just wondering how silly things are going to get during this show’s first season.
  23. While we have some issues with how The Testaments is structured, given how depressing the world of Gilead continues to be, we are looking forward to seeing Agnes and Daisy starting to agitate for change as the show goes forward.
  24. While we’re a bit disappointed in the dark turn The Boys has made as it goes into its final season, we’re looking forward to seeing how Eric Kripke and company bring the story to an end.
  25. After watching the first three episodes of Euphoria Season 3, it’s unclear whether there’s hope for Rue and her friends, but there’s definitely a chance this polarizing HBO show might end its run on an incandescent high note.

    Whipsmart, funny, and audacious from start to finish, Hacks Season 5 will keep you laughing and guessing until the last moment. .... Much like Smart, the show ends by cementing its legacy as one of the greatest comedies of the 21st century.
  26. Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord is certainly one of the darker entries in the franchise, especially among the animated series. But there is a lot of potential to dig into the personality of one of the franchise’s most notorious villains, which is always something we look forward to seeing.
  27. XO, Kitty is in its “well-oiled machine” phase, with characters we want to follow, a lead that continues to put in a magnetic performance, and a feeling that the show’s writers have settled on the storylines they want to follow the most.
