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.

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!

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.

There’s plenty to enjoy about the series, which is warm and inviting and fun. Belly proves herself to be a great protagonist.

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.

It looks like PG:ANG will start lukewarm and only get hotter as things progress.

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.

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.

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.

Once again, The Afterparty has a funny ensemble that plays to their strengths in a solid format.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There was nothing quite like American Gladiators in its prime, and The American Gladiators Documentary captures the magic, weirdness and spectacle of it all in an entertaining and nostalgic package.

Whether you’re a seasoned golf fan or someone who only has a vague awareness of the sport’s existence, Full Swing is a great way to latch onto the inherent drama behind the competition.

Whether as a companion piece to Winning Time or a standalone experience, They Call Me Magic is a worthwhile look back at one of the NBA’s greatest all-time players and personalities.

At least trying to offer a glimmer of humanity beyond all of the government agency carrying on and mysterious international evildoing.

Warrior, whose fans once mobilized a petition for its third season return, rewards them with tightly-choreographed action sequences that don’t skimp on the bloodshed and visceral death blows. But it also offers political and interpersonal dramas set in an interesting historical time period, and writing that crackles with the energy of a contemporary action movie.

Season 3 of The Witcher has enough story and action to satisfy fans of the show. We just wish the characters had a bit more to say.

Hijack makes sure the tension stays high while not taking leaps in logic. Combine the tight writing with the compelling lead performance from Idris Elba and you have a show that gets us leaning forward in our chairs, and that says a lot.

If you slept on the first season of Swagger, Season 2 is good enough to go back and catch up now. It’s a worthy successor to Friday Night Lights, but more than stands on its own.

It’s going to be a reluctant STREAM IT from us. The series has a lot left to accomplish to roll the tide, but if Netflix invests time in the show to establish the characters and build on the storyline, it can easily build towards something bigger and scarier, and less mismatched.

I’m A Virgo is about much more than the fact that Cootie is 13-feet tall; it’s a layered story about isolation, coming of age and institutional racism, but all presented with a little bit of a fairy-tale sheen to it.
