  1. Halo: Season 2
    Halo feels more streamlined in its second season. While still based on a video game franchise with nearly 25 daunting years of established lore, it’s leaning into the autonomy within himself that John-117 has unlocked, which could very well emerge as Master Chief and his team’s biggest asset against the Covenant and threats closer to home.
  2. Tokyo Vice: Season 2
    Tokyo Vice is stylish, mysterious, and full of powerful acting turns that put a sharp edge on its depiction of the places where crime and violence intersect with tradition and ambition.
  3. One Day (2024)
    It is a will-they-or-won’t-they rom-com? Is it a friendship story? Is it a saga about moving into adulthood and figuring out your life and your priorities and enduring heartbreak and loss? Will it make you cry? Yes, it’s all of those things, and it manages to capture all the muddled, complicated, aching emotions of them all.
  4. #CyberSleuths: The Idaho Murders: Season 1
    Despite our reservations, #Cybersleuths: The Idaho Murders is still a good review of this grisly case, and we think that the filmmakers will eventually get their message across about the good and bad aspects of online speculation about cases like these.
  5. Life & Beth: Season 2
    Raw and impactful, the new season will keep viewers on their toes in more ways than one.
  6. Abbott Elementary: Season 3
    We give Quinta Brunson a lot of credit for not standing on her laurels for Abbott Elementary‘s third season. Even though she’s shaken things up a little bit, the show still seems to be at the top of its game, and we hope that continues through Season 3.
  7. Shogun (2024): Season 1
    Shōgun‘s size and scope and overwhelming excellence explain why it took so darn long to get the series right.
  8. Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 12
    The final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is pretty much more of what we’ve seen over the past 24 years. But it’s still funny, howlingly so at times. And that’s pretty much all we’re looking for from Curb as Larry and company kvetch into the sunset.
  9. Mr. & Mrs. Smith: Season 1
    This new take on Mr. & Mrs. Smith is funny and full of surprises, with great chemistry between Glover and Erskine that may lead to some interesting sexual tension as the series goes on.
  10. Three Little Birds: Season 1
    Three Little Birds is intended to be a feelgood series, but it’s not schmaltzy and doesn’t shy away from the issues Jamaicans and other Black people faced in England in the 1950s.
  11. FEUD: Season 2
    We’re hopeful that Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans will provide some juicy scenes among its amazing cast, and that will be enough to keep us watching. But the story itself is so low-stakes that it just leaves us cold.
  12. In The Know: Season 1
    In The Know is a quirky, funny series that works on a few different levels, and it effectively combines animation and live action.
  13. Expats
    Expats is a show that should be better than it is, given its cast and Wang’s pedigree. But its storytelling is frustrating and its characters are ones we feel we’ve seen on TV a whole lot over the past few years.
  14. Sexy Beast: Season 1
    Not only is Sexy Beast a series that feels unnecessary, given its connections to a film that wasn’t a big hit a quarter century ago, but it doesn’t even rise to the level of being a good heist show on its own merits.
  15. Griselda
    While there are parts of Griselda that feels like a generic cartel drama, Sofia Vergara’s fierce performance in the title role demands our attention, as well as helping the show move along at a confident pace.
  16. Masters of the Air
    Masters of the Air is a thrilling, entertaining watch that lacks the depth of its HBO-produced predecessors.
  17. Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees
    This is the Sex Ed Talk generations of women wish they could’ve received, even better than what Novak jokingly refers to as “diagonal learning” from an older female acquaintance. This is over the top, on the up and up, and oh so funny.
  18. Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People
    Superhot: The Spicy World Of Pepper People is full of colorful characters and it’s about a subculture we’re interested in. We’re just not sure there’s enough there to sustain the show for ten episodes.
  19. Hazbin Hotel: Season 1
    Hazbin Hotel is very queer, raunchy, and fun. The animated comedy is filled with memorable songs, exciting character arcs, and a thrilling story. The episodes will have you on the edge of your seat, while filling your heart with equal parts joy and angst. Even if it doesn’t sound like it’s fit for you, get it a try.
  20. The Woman in the Wall: Season 1
    The Woman In The Wall succeeds because of the lead performance by Ruth Wilson as well as the grey areas that the tragedy of the Magdalene Laundries caused.
  21. Night Court (2023): Season 2
    It still reliably makes us laugh, but we just wish it wasn’t so completely dependent on one character to generate those laughs, as legendary as that character (and the actor who plays him) might be.
  22. American Horror Stories: Season 3
    American Horror Stories definitely takes care to tell stories that are satisfying and complete despite their relatively short length, but we just wish a few elements of those stories were a little more thoroughly considered.
  23. Dusty Slay: Workin' Man
    And just like Larry The Cable Guy, Slay has found his own way to connect his Southern style to a wider audience, and he’s definitely getting it done.
  24. American Nightmare
    American Nightmare teases out the story of Denise Huskins’ kidnapping to a bit of an irritating degree, but we do understand why the filmmakers did what they did. It’s a fascinating story of law enforcement and confirmation bias, one that needs to be on a platform like Netflix.
  25. Monsieur Spade: Season 1
    Owen’s performance transcends the languid plotting in the first episode of Monsieur Spade. Will Owen make us forget about Bogart’s portrayal of Spade? Absolutely not. But he does a good job of bringing Spade into a more of a modern context.
  26. Death and Other Details: Season 1
    While there are elements of Death And Other Details that have the potential to be entertaining, the show feels overstuffed and too interested in messing with the viewers to sustain what is a very complex whodunit.
  27. The Traitors: Season 2
    The Traitors pits some of the most memorable (and duplicitous) personalities against each other using a formula that’s wickedly dramatic and fun.
  28. Boy Swallows Universe
    Somehow, Boy Swallows Universe pulls off a pretty dark coming-of-age story without being depressing or hopeless, thanks to some deft writing and fantastic performances by the cast.
  29. Ted (2024): Season 1
    Ted had the potential to be a heartwarming show with good coming-of-age stories — at least as heartwarming as a show about a pot-smoking, cursing, bigoted teddy bear could muster — but the episodes are drawn out by Seth MacFarlane-style gags to the point where we got bored.
  30. Criminal Record: Season 1
    Cush Jumbo and her character are the reasons why we’re going to keep watching Criminal Record. Not that we hate Peter Capaldi’s character, but at the outset he feels much more generic than Jumbo’s character, and given that the two of them face off during the entire season, that could end up being a big problem.
