  1. It treats Oly’s surprise pregnancy as a fact of this girl’s life, and it will be interesting to find out how she manages being a mother and an overachieving student.
  2. Any worry that Baby Groot would wear out his welcome was unwarranted. Each short zips along at a perfect pace, deploying sight gags that hit their mark every time.
  3. Despite the slow pace, easy clues and overreliance on guffaws, we still found ourselves playing along as if we were watching the older versions on BUZZR. And the modernized version of the ’60s theme song is pretty fun. If the show gets a second season, we hope Fallon and Quinn tighten things up to make the show move a bit faster.
  4. I Just Killed My Dad is the rare true crime docuseries that tells a story that hasn’t been picked apart and retold over decades, and tells the story in a brief, relatively compact manner.

    Season 3 is not just the most thrilling and emotionally charged installment yet… Locke & Key Season 3 is a fitting ending to Locke & Key, and easily one of the best seasons of a fantasy series released this year.
  5. If you’re a casual fan of English soccer, it’s a great way to immerse yourself in an up-and-coming teams success. If you’re a hardcore fan, it offers you the behind-the-scenes looks you can’t get enough of.
  6. While not our cup of tea, we definitely see how appealing The Sandman would be to fans of Gaiman and his work. We’re just not sure it’s particularly accessible to those of us who are new to the story.
  7. Reservation Dogs improves on its excellent first season by deepening the community on the rez, making it less about the Dogs and more about traditions, people who think they know the traditions but don’t, and just how funny and rich life there can be, even if people have to be creative to get by.
  8. Mike Judge’s Beavis And Butt-Head is more or less the same show that was such a hit in the ’90s. And because it’s about idiots doing dumb things, the funny stuff will always be funny, no matter what decade it is.
  9. It’s interesting to revisit 1999, to look at the crackly VHS footage and say “What did it all mean?”, especially in the context of the decade that came next. Trainwreck: Woodstock ‘99 doesn’t dig all the way into those larger questions. But it does offer a primer, and its share of insights.
  10. The Hillside Strangler: Devil In Disguise is a straightforward retelling of the famous serial killer case. But it definitely gives information and perspectives that people who paid attention to the case four decades ago might not have either gotten or remembered.
  11. Industry is chock full of people being deliciously awful toward one another and making blatantly personal plays for financial gain, making all of their machinations eminently watchable.
  12. Amber Brown is a delightful family sitcom, highlighted by Bonnie Hunt’s witty, easygoing writing style and Carsyn Rose’s revelatory lead performance.
  13. While there’s a lot about Uncoupled that’s frustratingly shallow, Harris’ performance and the show’s frequent funny moments are more than enough to keep us watching.
  14. Before the final scene of Paper Girls, we were going to give this show a big old thumbs down. But that final scene set the stage for a show that has the potential to be a fun ride, or at the very least something that’s a little different than what we’ve seen before.
  15. As much as we couldn’t take our eyes off Gugu Mbatha-Raw during the first episode of Surface, her performance can’t save a show that doesn’t seem to have enough story to justify an 8-episode series.
  16. Barrera sells the idea that she can absolutely survive, making her resourcefulness in the situation almost plausible. Now we just need to see where the plot goes, which will play out in those flashbacks. ... One of the things we like about the six-episode limited series is that the episodes are all around 30 minutes, so you’re not seeing Liv wandering around the wilderness for hours on end.
  17. We’re certainly intrigued by the mystery that’s at the center of The Resort. But we also hope that Milioti and Harper get more of their own story to dig into, as opposed to being just a typically bored married couple who come together under extreme circumstances.
  18. When you watch the first episode of The Most Hated Man On The Internet, all you want is to see Hunter Moore get his comeuppance. Thanks to this relatively brief docuseries and its speedy pace, you’ll get that wish pretty quickly.
  19. In the grand television tapestry of manipulative teen girls, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin isn’t revolutionary. But it is fun. Original Sin reworks the central themes and mysteries of the first series just enough to turn this tried-and-true premise into an all-out horror romp. No lie.
  20. Primal Season 2 is an absolutely magnificent addition to an already fantastic set of episodes. It’s one of Tartakovsky’s best by far, and he’s proven that this is a franchise that’s only going to get better with time. From top to bottom, it’s one of the best animated series going right now.
  21. Despite the self-indulgent aspects of The Last Movie Stars, Ethan Hawke has created a fascinating docuseries about one of the biggest Hollywood power couples ever, as well as the issues that defined their marriage.
  22. Rap Sh!t suffers a bit from some broad gags and the phone-centric gimmickry we cited earlier, but at its heart is a story of two friends taking on the patriarchal world of hip hop, and that story is one we’re eager to watch.
  23. Between the CGI blood, the disjointed dramatic scenes, and the somewhat stilted expert interviews, it feels like anyone who wants to get the history of the Colosseum in Rome would be better served reading its Wikipedia entry than slogging through 8 hours of Colosseum.

    The Captain is broad enough to entertain anyone, but it’s an absolute must-stream for baseball fans.
  24. Farzar could be a good show, but unless you’re a big fan of dick jokes — and we know you’re out there! — you’re not going to find a lot to laugh at with this show.
  25. Packed with humor, heart, and some of the coolest action scenes of the year, it’s a show that will leaving you alternatively screaming at and cheering for your television. Resident Evil is simply a great time.
  26. We’re excited about what Robinson is developing, right from the first half-hour. It’s going to be a hangout show, sure, but a hangout show where Phoebe and her friend group are going to comment on everything they think is trash, which is pretty much everything. So social comedy, fun hangout situations, and character-driven jokes… The formula seems to obvious, we wonder why more current sitcoms don’t do this.
  27. It’s telling that Wexner himself did not want to be interviewed for the docuseries. That association with Epstein is going to be explored in-depth in the subsequent two episodes, especially episode 2, and it seems like that is what is going to dominate, more than even the usual vagaries of the fast fashion world that Wexner helped pioneer.
  28. D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! is a stylish docuseries that fills in a lot of blanks about a legend that has made a permanent home in our pop culture firmament, and the investigation that’s no closer to being solved now than it was in 1971.
