Despite our misgivings about the cohesion of the story in the docuseries, Desperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe is still an interesting study in how easily someone can manipulate people who are vulnerable and looking for answers.

Is there an overriding plot aside from escaping the rubble? Is there any kind of character development? Not really. But a show this crazy doesn’t really need that, as long as it continues to be daring through its entire run.

Our Flag Means Death continues to emphasize story over gags, and manages to be both funny and touching at the same time.

Everything Now is a charming teen dramedy with some serious emotional issues underpinning the adventures of a teen just wanting to do teen stuff.

Lupin continues to be a very satisfying watch because of Omar Sy’s performance and the well-written and executed heist scenes.

The biggest surprise here? How entertaining this dumbass franchise is in 2023.

The Sixth Commandment lays out the true story of the Ben Field case in a deliberate but effective manner, punctuated by some fine lead performances.

If you’ve been hankering for another heaping helping of slow-moving, romantic drama a la Virgin River, then Sullivan’s Crossing should help satisfy that craving.

STREAM IT, but only if you’re a huge fan of soccer in general or Beckham in particular. There’s lots of great footage of Beckham on and off the pitch over the past three decades and just enough personal stuff to keep viewers engaged. But don’t expect too much in the way of revelations or controversy.

While Burning Body has its flaws, the performance of Úrsula Corberó helps viewers get past them and get into this very complex story.

Shining Girls takes its time to reveal the entire picture of what its story is about. But with a fine lead performance by Moss and expert direction, it’s still got enough tension to make us OK with getting only little bits of info.

If the cases of the week get a little better, and the backstories of the regular characters — especially the biggest one — are written well, Found has the potential to be an above average network procedural.

Castlevania: Nocturne is an exemplary way to take a popular game series and turn it into one of the most exciting animated adaptations yet. It remains to be seen the heights that animated Richter Belmont will reach, but we’re confident we’ll be left impressed.

Django will make for a good distraction if you’re into classic Westerns, but if you’re looking for complex morality plays, you’re probably out of luck.

The Fake Sheikh weaves an intriguing web around its central subject. It might not feature any interviews with Mazer Mahmood. But the docuseries delves into the structure and mechanics of his sting operations, tries to get at what drove his ruthless nature as a journalist, and allows space for the people who populated his scandal-dripping headlines to tell their side of the story.

We love hearing American traditions mocked from outsiders. It’s worked wonders for the careers of John Oliver, Trevor Noah and Ronny Chieng in recent years. Jay pulls it off in this hour by spending the first half of it offering her fresh perspective to heteronormative relationships, making it personal through her eyes as a “junior man” kind of lesbian.

Gen V has some well-drawn characters and a compelling young cast. Its storytelling is a bit spotty in the first episode, but the other factors are more than enough to keep us watching.

The Golden Bachelor has all the stuff Bachelor fans love. We just wish all of these sixty- and seventy-somethings acted with a touch more maturity and dignity.

The Hunt For Raoul Moat is a pretty by-the-numbers limited series about a real-life manhunt. However, the performances are compelling enough, and the runtime short enough, to keep viewers engaged.

While we wonder if the Jessie-Tom relationship cycle is getting a bit old, we still find Starstruck a warm and funny show, with Matafeo leading a confidently funny ensemble.

While its narrative structure is as dry as a bone, Who Killed Jill Dando? carries a lot of intrigue, simply because of how famous the case is and how wildly speculative the investigation got.

The Continental feels like it’s more for John Wick completists than fans of well-plotted action series.

The Irrational works mainly because of Martin and the backstory he has with Hill’s character and the bombing case. The mysteries themselves are pretty bad, but that will matter less if the continuing story is good.

While Krapopolis could be funnier, there’s more than enough character and story, as well as good voice performances, to keep us watching. Fox had to have seen something to give the show three seasons… right?

We’re going to give Still Up a shot because we like Antonia Thomas and Craig Roberts in the lead roles. But its format feels like it will get monotonous quickly, even if the chemistry between its stars is good.

Deadlocked: How America Shaped The Supreme Court isn’t meant to be an exhaustive history of our highest court, but it does give a great perspective on just how the court went from ruling on civil rights cases in the ’50s to its conservative turn in the 2020s.

Despite the fact that Sex Education has gone through some big changes this season, it’s still very well worth a binge for the genuine laughs and heartfelt emotion that each episode brings.

Young Love is funny and heartwarming, and it doesn’t try to do more than show a young family trying their best to build their lives together, despite setbacks.
