  1. Stephanie Hsu’s dynamic lead performance is the main attraction of Laid, but the quest to figure out why Ruby’s lovers are dying and what this all means to her romantic life will be a funny and interesting journey to take with her.
  2. 1992 isn’t reinventing the wheel when it comes to thriller series. But it’s just audacious enough, especially with its use of a cartoon rooster mascot, to make it watchable.
  3. Aaron Rodgers: Enigma might be slickly-produced and tightly-directed, but ultimately–like Rodgers–it doesn't have as much to say as it thinks it does.
  4. At every turn in An Evening With, Dua Lipa finds ways to add interesting touches to her most memorable songs. .... It works wonders visually. From Dua Lipa, to the musicians, to the lively Royal Albert audience, there is palpable joy in the room.
  5. While we’re not convinced that Dexter: Original Sin will be as compelling as the early years of the original series, we’re hoping that the new cast develops their own chemistry instead of trying to imitate the dynamic of the original show’s cast.
  6. Dream Productions continues to effectively expand the Inside Out universe, which seems to know no bounds, given the fact that a preteen’s brain is so darn complicated.
  7. If you don’t love the shtick, you definitely won’t love the show. But if you stick with all three episodes, you’ll absorb the entire spectrum of the Paris and Nicole experience: the humor, the friendship, the ineptitude that masks actual professional experience and an understanding of The Biz. The end result actually does feel like a celebration of their friendship.
  8. What we’re hoping is that the one good story out of the four in No Good Deed can carry the series’ first season, at least until the others improve. The show’s excellent ensemble deserves that kind of patience.
  9. One Hundred Years Of Solitude manages to do justice to the ambitious and sprawling novel it is based on, with good performances and expert writing and directing.
  10. Even if you haven’t seen any clips of Jeselnik before, this serves as a perfect introduction to him.
  11. There’s something in the way she declares “but I got my biscuits” or “and that’s why I’m gay”or even “it’s much cheaper than a therapist, and it comes with biscotti” that might make you want to stand and cheer.
  12. It shows so much proficiency in creating these deeply-imagined addendums to established worlds, all we want is more.
  13. Polo is a mostly boring look at a sport that very few people outside of elite circles have any particular interest in.
  14. Although there are laughs to be had in this hour-plus, this is as much church revival as it is comedy special.
  15. As a skilled roaster on both Comedy Central and now Netflix, Glaser also knows how to take a joke as well as she can dish them out. You probably cannot come up with zingers about her physical appearance that’ll knock her down any more than any of the lines she delivers about her looks in this hour.
  16. The jury’s out on how many episodes Paris Has Fallen can sustain the relative juice imported from the Has Fallen movies. If there is a core HFU fanbase rising up for this small screen continuance, that contingent should be happy. But as action-thriller stuff goes, Paris Has Fallen in general feels kinda basic.
  17. An intense and funny performance by Margo Martindale is the highlight of The Sticky, but the idea that this crazy heist story could go just about anywhere is what’s the most intriguing thing about it.
  18. While the near-future shown in Tomorrow + I might be a little dystopian, it’s far from bleak, and that little sliver of hope is always welcome in a show like this.
  19. Jentry Chau Vs. The Underworld boasts a good story, a fun visual style and fine voice performances from Wong, Yang and Chinn.
  20. Churchill At War does a good job at repackaging well-examined material in enough of a new way to keep viewers engaged, and maybe even learn some things about Winston Churchill they didn’t already know.
  21. We continue to enjoy Dalgliesh because of Bertie Carvel’s grimace-filled empathetic portrayal of Adam Dalgliesh. We just wish we had more info about the detective and somewhat more tightly-written mysteries.
  22. Creature Commandos features a ton of James Gunn’s trademark wit and sweetness, lots of gleeful destruction, an adult-animation-worthy helping of boobs and butts and stuff, and for comic book heads, a shared visual aesthetic and the deliberate centering of oddball characters straight off the page.
  23. Black Doves isn’t going to blow you away with some revolutionary spy story. But the story is intriguing enough, and is improved by the chemistry between Knightley and Whishaw, with a big assist from Lancashire.
  24. Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a fun watch, with Colin Jost a natural at the hosting podium. It may not make Jeopardy purists happy, but casual fans will certainly like the show, because at least there’s a good chance they’ll be able to provide questions to most of the answers.
  25. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is beautifully-made and sweetly innocent, making it a radically rebellious take on a franchise that sometimes seems lost in its own lore.
  26. Colman Domingo brings a veracity and intensity to his character in The Madness that elevates what is potentially a run-of-the-mill thriller. But so far, the show isn’t giving us any reason to think it’s getting ridiculous, which is a good thing.
  27. Like we said, the cast of The Agency carries the show, but we’re not sure how much the stories will hold viewer interest unless they quickly get more interesting.
  28. STREAM IT, but only for the fantastic racing scenes. If you’re looking for a show that’s got any drama that happens off the track, Senna will probably disappoint.
  29. Get Millie Black is fascinating not only because of its Jamaican setting but Lawrance’s performance as someone trying to figure out her place as much as she’s trying to figure out the case at hand.
  30. Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey fills in blanks in the JonBenét Ramsey case that have faded over the decades, and brings information to light that gives an indication that the case could still end up being solved.
