  1. STREAM IT if you like FBI or are a big Tom Ellis fan; CIA should scratch the itch of both sets of viewers. If you’re looking for an interesting procedural, SKIP IT.
  2. While Strip Law has its moments, it’s most a loud, gag-heavy comedy that doesn’t really take its time to make its main characters into real people.
  3. We’re still a little annoyed that the second season of The Last Thing He Told Me seems to serve up a thrill-light nothingburger of a story, but we still want to see the chemistry between Garner and Rice, which is the best thing about the series.
  4. While Kwabena isn’t in a dead-end job anymore, Dreaming Whilst Black shows how much of a struggle it will be to get his voice heard in the entertainment industry, which may even be more insular than the outside world.
  5. The thought-provoking new direction will challenge, confuse, and likely divide viewers, but it will also deepen the show’s sci-fi roots and evoke more comparisons to Silo Season 2, LOST, and The Last of Us than ever before.
  6. The story behind Wild Boys: Strangers In Town is pretty compelling, even if you have much less sympathy for those “wild boys” at the end of the docuseries than you had at the beginning.
  7. The Night Agent is still perfectly good “watch while doing laundry” TV, but it feels like the third season is even more lunkheaded than the first two, and the absence of Buchanan is huge.
  8. Ten Pound Poms works because its characters are easy to root for as they try to make new lives for themselves in Australia. And the fact that the show is working towards a conclusion ensures that the stories will stay focused.
  9. Unless you’re a Gordon Ramsay completist, Being Gordon Ramsay feels like it’s going to be six episodes of of the same pleasant but dull Ramsay promotional material that we saw in the first episode.
  10. 56 Days is supposed to show the erotic chemistry between two people that led to a wild affair then a gruesome murder. But the affair feels artificial and the investigation of the murder feels excruciatingly drawn out, and the timeline jumping makes the show tiring to watch.
  11. Whether you were a fan or not, Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model is a fascinating and thorough look at one of the biggest reality franchises ever—warts and all.
  12. Some of the incidents that begin the disputes are a bit confusing. .... But some are so “normal” they’re crystal clear. .... It’s disputes like the ones in the second episode that feel more real to us.
  13. While the fourth season of Dark Winds is taking a chance by going off the rez, seeing Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito facing big changes brings interesting context to what might be normally be considered a standard police thriller case.
  14. As nicely shot and acted as Museum Of Innocence is, the story isn’t fleshed out enough to give us a real idea of what drew its main characters together, besides it just being a taboo pairing.
  15. Can You Keep A Secret? is a funny show about a family who tries to get something they think they deserve, without much of an idea of how their plan will play out.
  16. How To Get To Heaven From Belfast is a sharply funny examination of how friendships change over time as well as a pretty darn good mystery.

    Believe me when I say that Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr & Carolyn Bessette is the first truly captivating new show of 2026 and an instant addition to the list of shows you’ll want to watch and rewatch… just have a box of tissues at the ready.
  17. Dinosaur isn’t gut-busting funny, but its humor is purely character-driven, and it gives a view of autism that we’ve rarely seen on TV.
  18. STREAM IT, but with reservations. The second season of Cross still has a lot of charm, especially in the relationship between Cross and Sampson, but feels like it’s going to take some time to really find what its primary story is going to be.
  19. While we still think The Artful Dodger is still a fun watch, we’re wary about the second season making jumping through story hoops to make sure Jack and Belle stay apart.
  20. Because of the performances of Keke Palmer and the fantastic supporting cast, we’re all in on The ‘Burbs, despite some concerns about aspects of the plot that won’t get the attention they deserve.
  21. Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer retains its light touch, even though its main character is fighting a shocking murder charge from his jail cell.
  22. Seeing The Muppet Show back as if it never left is not only comforting and nostalgic, but it’s still really entertaining. Let’s hope Disney decides to go forward with a new series after the success of this special.
  23. Despite the ever-charming presence of Cuoco and fantastic European vistas, Vanished just feels slight and predictable, and even borderline implausible.
  24. Season 3 of School Spirits feels like the show is struggling to figure out where to take its story after two pretty well-defined arcs in the first two seasons.
  25. Bridgerton Season 4 Part 1 retains the charm of past seasons, but it often feels like two clashing shows, competing for ultimate attention. .... My only hope is that that drama can be a bit more streamlined, a bit more sexy, and bit more focused on our wonderful season leads when Part 2 rolls out on February 26.
  26. Wonder Man is a Marvel show that’s accessible to even non-Marvel fans mainly because it’s less about the MCU and more about an actor who is trying to land the biggest role in Hollywood while not getting too lost in his own head. If that includes his superpowers, all the better.
  27. We still think that Memory Of A Killer has the potential to go in directions other thrillers haven’t, simply because of the cognitive decline Dempsey’s character will be suffering through. But through the first two episodes, there’s not enough of that to make the show feel much different than other conspiracy thrillers of recent vintage.
  28. The commentary by dozens of admirers and career-highlight TV and movie snippets are great of course, nostalgic but purposeful, meaningful in the context of Brooks’ life and influence on showbiz. But Apatow digs just deep enough to show that the guy is a true, honest-to-gosh restless artist at heart.
  29. If you’re looking for a lot of teen angst and conflict, Finding Her Edge is probably not for you. But the performances are good enough that you’ll have no problem sitting down and watching this mostly easygoing show with your entire family.
