  1. Turning Point: The Bomb And The Cold War
    Unlike his treatise on 9/11 and the War On Terror, Knappenberger has done a good job of contextualizing just how the nuclear arms race got started. The first episode of this docuseries is almost 80 minutes long, but it’s riveting because it doesn’t just recite the history you might have learned in class or while watching countless History Channel docuseries on World War II.
  2. 3 Body Problem: Season 1
    3 Body Problem may fail to inspire true awe, but there’s enough fun, shock, and horror to keep sci-fi fans engaged. It is a completely competent season of television.
  3. The Gentlemen: Season 1
    Like most of Guy Ritchie’s material when he’s in caper and kooky criminals mode, The Gentlemen is a romp. Chippy, funny, stylish, cartoonishly violent, touched with mild absurdity.
  4. Manhunt (2024)
    Manhunt winds up being a mixed bag of thrilling revelation and tortuous tedium. The Apple TV+ show often loses its all its juice by trying to squeeze in as much historical embellishment as possible.
  5. Supersex: Season 1
    Supersex revels in layering these themes in the most seductive ways possible. I soon found myself, like Noemi, happily at the show’s mercy. After plowing through the first two episodes, I was desperate for more. I have a hunch Netflix fans will be, too. Supersex manages to weave together smut and art in intoxicating measure.
  6. Animal Control: Season 2
    Animal Control has a strong ensemble, and characters that are inherently funny without the need to spew gags. That is very evident in the second season, even after you get past the very funny view of drunken raccoons.
  7. Extraordinary: Season 2
    Extraordinary continues to mine humor from well-written characters and a finely-tuned ensemble, using its superhero conceit only occasionally.
  8. The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping
    The Program: Cons, Cults And Kidnapping does a good job of showing the harrowing conditions at the Academy at Ivy Ridge and other disciplinary schools, while also showing the resiliency of the people who were sent there and endured those conditions.
  9. Murder Is Easy: Season 1
    Agatha Christie’s Murder Is Easy modernizes an 85-year-old text simply by changing the nationality of its main character, and it makes the story a whole lot less creaky as a result.
  10. The Completely Made-up Adventures of Dick Turpin: Season 1
    While we like Fielding in the lead role, The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin mostly misses the mark when it comes to the silly gags that permeate the first episode.
  11. Elsbeth: Season 1
    We’re suckers for the “howdunit” format of Elsbeth, and Preston has such a good handle on the character that we are looking forward to watching her catch wily killers week after week.
  12. The Tourist: Season 2
    We’re not sure if throwing Ethan back into the mix, even if he somehow gets tangled up with the people chasing after Elliot, is the best idea, either. But there’s more than enough good stuff going on in Season 2 to override those concerns, at least for right now.
  13. Iwájú: Season 1
    Iwájú is a visually fascinating look at a futuristic Nigerian city, with lots of clever character moments and an Afrobeat soundtrack that ties it all together.
  14. American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders
    American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders is a fascinating look at a case that not only has huge implications about how the U.S. government ran in the 1980s and ’90s, but it’s also gives a lot of insight into how journalists can get so deep into stories that sometimes have pretty humble beginnings.
  15. The Regime: Season 1
    It’s a bleak look at the ways in which power corrupts, seduces, and seesaws that will leave you howling in laughter and twitching in discomfort in the same breath. .... The Regime is a twisted triumph.
  16. Deal or No Deal Island: Season 1
    Deal Or No Deal Island is the Cool Ranch Doritos of game shows, taking some of the best things about original and subtly improving it.
  17. Where Is Wendy Williams?: Season 1
    Where Is Wendy Williams? is really hard to watch, but if you are at all interested in what’s been going on in her life in the last few years, or have been following the confusing drama around her care, this is a must watch.
  18. The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live: Season 1
    The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is basically a love story wrapped in the usual TWD post-apocalyptic shell. But what we hope is that the love story breaks through that shell and shows us something we haven’t seen from the franchise before.
  19. Jenny Slate: Seasoned Professional: Season 1
    Slate describes her act at one point as “this weird love story in reverse,” and even if we cannot give her the same love her therapist does or even her real mom, we at least can see why she’s so lovable in the first place.
  20. The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy: Season 1
    The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy throws viewers into a strange and exciting cosmic world with oddities at every turn. Though the episodes take on several subplots and medical cases, the overarching storyline with the deadly parasite is very interesting and will encourage viewers to follow Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak on their research.
  21. Constellation: Season 1
    We’re reserving judgement about the slow pacing of Constellation until we get to see more episodes. But for a show that starts with a disaster and leads into a conspiracy, we were surprised at how little we were engaged with the material.
  22. Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024): Season 1
    Avatar: The Last Airbender accomplishes a rare feat for a live-action adaptation of an animates series: It brings new people into its world while giving fans of the original more than enough to keep them watching.
  23. Will Trent: Season 2
    Will Trent continues to entertain with characters that have really deep backstories and cases that are good enough to follow, even if they take a backseat to all of the character arcs.
  24. The Good Doctor: Season 7
    It’s never been our cup of tea, but David Shore and company have managed to put together a good ensemble that still works well together as the show enters its final season.
  25. The Dynasty: New England Patriots: Season 1
    It definitely suffers from a bit of bloat. (Not everything has to be a ten-part series, I swear.) Still, it’s comforting, well-crafted off-season sports content, a perfectly nice thing to spend your time with if you’ve got the time to spend.
  26. Young Sheldon: Season 7
    Young Sheldon has been evolving into an ensemble family comedy for its entire run, but in its final season that goal is fully realized. And, with Armitage way past his “cute kid” stage, it’s come just in time.
  27. Ghosts (2021): Season 3
    Ghosts has become a true ensemble show in its third season, and it starts its new season with an episode that shows just how much of a family the ghosts and the “livings” have become.
  28. The New Look: Season 1
    The New Look may spiral into ridiculousness as the story gets away from its World War II beginnings, but it starts off as a unsparing look at how two French designers dealt with being under Nazi occupation.
  29. Couple to Throuple: Season 1
    If you like reality television, we recommend giving Couple to Throuple a shot! The show takes the voyeuristic nature of reality programming to the next level and offers nonstop jaw-dropping moments. But if you’re looking to learn about polygamy in an ethical and educational manner, stick to the YouTube explainers — or book a private session with Howard.
  30. Tracker (2024): Season 1
    Tracker works mainly because Justin Hartley doesn’t try to reinvent his acting style to play Colton Shaw. And the show has just enough of a backstory, and quirky side characters, to give viewers reasons to tune in beyond the case-of-the-week stories.
