  1. For fans of Westeros — its incestuous soap opera, lavish world-building, and theatrical tragedy — House of the Dragon Season 2 delivers everything you love and then some. It’s I, Claudius with movie monsters, medieval history sprinkled with magic. .... House of the Dragon Season 2 is spectacular to behold, even if what’s unfolding is absolutely terrible.
  2. As powerful as Schuman’s decision to come forward is – and it’s only given more strength when in conjunction with the stories of her fellow accusers – it’s the indictment of the entertainment biz as a clearing house of terrible behavior that makes a significant impact in Fallen Idols.
  3. While Hitler And The Nazis: Evil On Trial may not provide a ton of new information for people who have even casually studied the time period before, during and after WWII, Berlinger still does a good job of making a powerful case that the conditions that gave us the horrific atrocities that Hitler and the Nazis committed can very easily happen again.
  4. The Famous Five is a fun adventure series the entire family can watch, with just enough modern touches to keep the younger viewers engaged and enough dangerous situations to keep the older viewers interested in what will happen next.
  5. While Clipped lacks focus at times, the story of V. Stiviano outing Donald Sterling as a virulent racist is too well-done to not recommend the show.
  6. The Acolyte‘s first four episodes are a brilliant addition to the larger Star Wars universe. By looking backwards to the waning days of the Jedi Order, Leslye Headland has pushed the franchise further into the future than ever before.
  7. As squinchy as we feel about the voyeurism in Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, we’re curious to see an inside look at how Gypsy Rose Blanchard has handled her first few months of true freedom in her adult life.
  8. Ren Faire works not only because it’s dramatic and stylish, but also because it’s a docuseries about some pretty interesting characters in a tension-filled situation.
  9. In season 3, The Outlaws remains as charming a crime-forward comedy as it ever was, with a new set of raised and dangerous stakes for its delightful core ensemble to tackle. Plus, at five steadily-paced episodes, a one-sitting binge watch is a total breeze.
  10. There’s a lot about Eric we didn’t love. But, boy, we loved Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance as the troubled, grieving father of a missing child. It’s so good it might actually paper over most of the show’s flaws.
  11. Geek Girl is a well-written and well-acted look at what happens when someone who doesn’t usually embrace surprises in life does so out of the simple desire to be seen.
  12. Despite our misgivings, we still enjoyed Camden. We just wish that we got a more historical perspective on the neighborhood before we heard about more modern artists.
  13. Dancing For The Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult isn’t necessarily one-sided, but it’s certainly unbalanced, in the sense that we hear a lot about the victims of 7M were told to do but not a lot about what drew them to Shinn and made them stay under his control.
  14. There are moments when his deeply silly shenanigans seem too deeply silly to hold water, but he and his cohorts execute their pranks with an impressive level of conviction, and I laughed very much in spite of myself.

    With new babies on the horizon, new business ventures bubbling up and closer looks into the lives of America’s royal family, The Kardashians Season 5 certainly does not disappoint thus far.
  15. Despite the scope of this final season, though, the show is still accessible to fans and non-fans.
  16. While we think there is room for Tires to grow into a decent and moderately funny workplace comedy, we don’t think there will be much of that growth during a six-episode first season. We may see a
  17. Despite the fact that Buying London feels very familiar, the new personalities and the unique homes serve up everything we want in a show like this.
  18. It’s just as important that Soulsville, as a docuseries, does not shy away from the acrimonious relationships and succession of business deals that fed into the strife of Stax’s later history. That stuff is as big a part of its legacy as the magic of those sound and era-defining singles. But Soulsville elevates that material, too, with access to many of the key figures who made it.
  19. Like Squid Game, the fun of The 8 Show is seeing just what kind of situations the characters are going to be put in and how they figure out how to play the strange game they find themselves in.
  20. Maxton Hall: The World Between Us is certainly a show for people who enjoy high school romance and boarding school intrigue, but it’s also nothing we haven’t seen before.
  21. Despite our reservations about the storytelling in The Big Cigar, we were impressed by Holland’s turn as Huey P. Newton. That alone is enough to watch this fast-moving series.
  22. The second season of Outer Range certainly isn’t boring, but we just wonder if all the time jumping is going to either get confusing or just make for a bunch of jumbled mysteries without answers.
  23. The first chunk of episodes in Bridgerton Season 3 are an ecstatic delight. Bridgerton might have a new showrunner in long-time writer Jess Brownell, but the world is still as enchanting and romantic as ever. .... This season is truly a showcase for new leading lady Nicola Coughlan. The Irish actress absolutely sparkles as wallflower-turned-heroine Penelope Featherington.
  24. There is no need to watch Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal if you already watched The Ashley Madison Affair. But if you haven’t, it’s an entertaining — if cringe-inducing — docuseries about the dating site and how its users got exposed when its weak security was breached.
  25. Heron has come into his own as the hero of Olympus, and watching him grow into much more of a hero than a confused lead who doesn’t know what he’s capable of. That makes for a much more exciting narrative overall, and now that we know more about Heron’s lineage, there’s so much more that can be done with the story’s direction from here.
  26. Spacey Unmasked is a relentless series of stories detailing horrific behavior by Kevin Spacey, but it also tries to give a little context by delving into the actor’s life. Still, it’s hard to watch.
  27. Doctor Who may be taking a slightly different direction as it arrives on Disney+, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not as funny and witty as ever. And the chemistry between Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson does a lot to make up for any encroaching tweeness.
  28. The fact that the five Liars on the show are in group therapy together for the shared trauma the endured last season is the grounding force of the show. .... The new season brings a new killer, new romances and friend dynamics, and enough changes from last season to make it feel like it’s not just treading the same ground.
  29. Bodkin is relatively light and pleasant to watch, but we’re not sure if the show is going to get much deeper or more interesting than what we saw in the first episode.
