  1. If you adore these characters as much as I do, Heartstopper Season 2 is, at times, an excruciating watch. But regardless of tone and subject matter, scenes remain laced with love, and Oseman’s world is brimming with heartwarming, romantic, joyous moments that will make you melt.
  2. If you’ve been a fan of this show over the last quarter-century, you’re going to watch these new episodes, and they’re going to be as funny and sometimes frustrating as they’ve always been.
  3. Son Of A Critch is funny and generally sweet show about a kid who didn’t fit in, but finds a way to find friends and a life in junior high, anyway.
  4. Breeders Season 4 feels like it’s building up to a bang that’ll leave us craving more of the Worsleys, but more than anything else, it’s just great to see this series back on track as it looks to wrap up this tale in fine fashion.
  5. Special Ops: Lioness isn’t a mess, but it’s strangely inessential and inert, given its cast and Sheridan’s involvement. There are better, similar shows out there.
  6. STREAM IT, but we’re definitely giving you the head’s up that the gag-heavy first few episodes of Praise Petey may turn you off as you also realize that you haven’t laughed much during a particular episode.
  7. Minx improves on a fun first season with an even more fun and ambitious second season, with an ensemble that’s clicking and meaty (pun intended) storylines for everyone in that ensemble.
  8. While it could have been a bit more informative, it does seem that Superpowered: The DC Story touches upon some aspects of the company’s history that aren’t their proudest moments, which is always welcome in projects like this.
  9. The problem is that while it’s certainly bingeable, it’s not necessarily… what’s the word… good. If you want soapy, relationshippy melodrama, I’d suggest finding it in Firefly Lane or Ginny & Georgia instead.
  10. With our lives still in quarantine mode, this show is a mighty fine substitute for gabbing and gossiping with your BFFs over drinks.
  11. We’re on board for Crime for Dougray Scott’s lead performance. The rest of the series feels like it could be from any procedural we’ve seen on either side of the Atlantic.
  12. Justified: City Primeval will satisfy both fans of the original series and people who are just looking for a well-written, sometimes-funny cop drama to watch.
  13. The reason why Last Call: When A Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York is watchable is that it’s not just about a bunch of related murders, but about just how uphill of a climb the LGBTQIA+ community had in New York and elsewhere during a time that wasn’t all that long ago.
  14. How much do you love Barbie? Because that will determine if you want to watch this show. For every scene that emphasizes design and construction, there’s a scene that explains the history and legacy of Barbie, so you really need to care about this iconic doll to get the most out of the show. If that appeals to you, I say go ahead and STREAM IT!
  15. It’s easy to get hung up on the choice to recreate Chamberlain’s voice, but love that choice or hate it, Goliath is a first-rate piece of sports documentary filmmaking, one worthy of its titanic subject.
  16. There’s plenty to enjoy about the series, which is warm and inviting and fun. Belly proves herself to be a great protagonist.
  17. The frothiness of the first season is replaced by real grief and adult emotions, but it’s a welcome change in Belly’s journey to adulthood.
  18. It looks like PG:ANG will start lukewarm and only get hotter as things progress.
  19. We’re going to give Full Circle a very tentative STREAM IT, because we’ve got confidence that Solomon and Soderbergh have a way to bring these characters and stories into a tighter focus. But, boy, it might be a tough first couple of hours getting to that point.
  20. Michelle Buteau is fantastic in Survival Of The Thickest, and we’re looking forward to seeing how her character Mavis inhabits her world on her own for the first time in years.
  21. Quarterback is a tightly-produced piece of sports television, but it doesn’t offer much insight beyond what you’d get in a Sunday pregame show.
  22. Once again, The Afterparty has a funny ensemble that plays to their strengths in a solid format.
  23. The main reasons to watch DI Ray are Parminda Nagra’s lead performance and the theme of her fighting against bias in her department. We just wish the case being investigated, and some of the characters surrounding Ray, were more compelling.
  24. The thing that sets this show apart is that so much of the story is told through real video and photos and it doesn’t need embellishment or Dateline-style narration, the facts of the case and Faison’s measured approach carry us through what could have otherwise been excessive or exploitative.
  25. Miracle Workers: End Times is probably the thinnest of the show’s four seasons, but the episodes are pretty quick and there’s more than enough funny stuff to help you binge through the episodes once they hit Max.
  26. While it’s tempting to give V.C. Andrews’ Dawn a recommendation just on the strength of the performances of Mills and Bassinger, the rest of the first episode is cheaply made with an underbaked story and clunky dialogue. For some people, it may put the show in the “it’s so bad it’s campy” category, but we think it’s just plain bad.
  27. Moonshine is a fun show with a dreamy, summer vibe, solid performances from Finnigan and the rest of the cast, and just enough darkness and drama to make things interesting.
  28. The Ashley Madison Affair is a well-paced docuseries that takes enough of a jaundiced eye at Ashley Madison to show its rise and fall in the correct context.
  29. Deadloch is a show that doesn’t make fun of murder, but has a lot of fun with the people investigating the murders, along with everyone who might be a suspect, and does so in a pretty entertaining way.
  30. The Lincoln Lawyer is one of those shows that won’t leave a big impression on you after you watch it, but it’s got enough good stuff going on to make it an enjoyable, pulpy watch.
