The Lost Flowers Of Alice Hart is a portrayal of domestic abuse that starts out a bit obtuse, but given the intense subject matter, that obtuseness is an effective way to bring people into Alice’s story.

Physical‘s third season is as dark as ever, but thanks to the (darkly funny and decidedly not adorkable) addition of Deschanel, we’re invested and can’t wait to see how Sheila’s story ends.

Christina’s story falls squarely in the”truth is stranger than fiction” category. Though the supernatural abilities have nothing to do with Amber’s death, the fact that this woman was stigmatized because of her supposed powers and they caused people to believe she was capable of murder is unique and fascinating and worth a look.

The final season of Reservation Dogs looks like it’s going to take some creative risks, which is going to make a pretty damn good series even better.

Sometimes it’s nice to just let a show cook, and The Witcher continues to make weird meals with its oodles of diabolical double crosses and inevitable “there’s a spell for that” moments that bang the story off in another new direction. (Seriously, there are portals everywhere.) There’s a bit of uncertainty creeping in, given the backstage drama of Cavill’s departure. But everybody else in this series is fully invested and really, really good.

Dark Winds continues to be a compelling show because of McLarnon’s lead performance and the complexities that its Indigenous setting brings to its mysteries.

The league itself exists in the shadow of its founder. Determining whether that’s forever is another tenet central to Heels, and that gives all of the characters surrounding Jack and Ace the space they need to flourish. But beyond the trials of family, what Heels is most adept at exploring is the dao of professional wrestling itself.

How To With John Wilson is a show that’s perfect for streaming when you’re in the mood for something with a little weirdness, a little optimism, and a lot of funny.

I found myself streaming the whole season in a day, in part just to find out where the second season was heading. Because the second episode made that even less clear, somehow. Eventually, several of the characters you’d come to know and love from the first season to make their way back into the lives of Julio and Luis.

The format of How To Become A Cult Leader isn’t quite as grating as its predecessor, How To Become A Tyrant, and that leaves room for the show to provide a lot of information about how the cult leaders it’s profiling managed to wield so much influence.

Good Omens returns after a four-year hiatus with a good story and the same funny chemistry between its stars.

Twisted Metal is noisy and violent, with some decent performances, but that’s about it.

I’m amused – and compelled to see if Command Z can maintain this level of reasonably biting comedy through all 90 minutes.

The show is going to have to move at a swift clip to answer for everything but it’s already gotten the ball rolling just one episode in.

Whether you watch 4 minutes or 40, Drag Me to Dinner is a delight.

Of her three specials on Netflix, I’d still point you toward her middle hour, 2019’s Growing, instead of this. But if you have been missing some Amy Schumer in your comedy diet, by all means STREAM IT.

George Carlin might’ve beaten Gaffigan and most everyone else to the punch 15 years ago by joking about how long to keep your dead friend’s phone numbers, but only by now could you also find a comedian such as Gaffigan to remind us that strangers will invariably inherit those phone numbers, and might wonder how they ended up in your family’s group chat.

Oscar De La Hoya’s story is a compelling one, and one that many people familiar with the boxer still haven’t heard. The Golden Boy is a capable, well-crafted retelling of this story.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With our lives still in quarantine mode, this show is a mighty fine substitute for gabbing and gossiping with your BFFs over drinks.
