The Morning Show Season 2 is a thrilling melange of ridiculous drama. There are hookups that had me gasping, plot developments that gave me whiplash, and a few moments where I had second-hand embarrassment for all involved. ... The Morning Show will never be a perfect show. It’s too boldly outspoken, too shockingly self-indulgent, and too obsessed with speaking first about a moment in time instead of speaking wisely. Still, I can’t help but find its brand of backstabbing elites terribly fun to watch.- Decider

What this version of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe lacks in nostalgia it more than makes up for with smart dialogue, good CGI, and its ability to start building the world of Eternia from scratch with a compelling story.- Decider

The Harper House has plenty of curb appeal: Goofy characters, real-life sentiment, a mildly acidic tone. It probably won’t be the best house on the block, but it’s funny enough to warrant taking in a few more episodes.- Decider

Zukerman is no Tom Hanks, but he’s sufficiently charming as Langdon to make us believe he’s the young version of Brown’s signature character. ... The more we buy into Langdon’s prolific skills and the more twisty the story is, the better. But we’re not sure if Dworkin, Beattie and their writers will be able to pull it off.- Decider

Even though the first episode of The Premise was uneven, there was enough there to make us want to watch the other episodes. Mainly we want to see if the big swings Novak takes in each episode connect, or if they’re admirable strike outs.- Decider

The fact that they [the Stidhams] did sit down to talk to the filmmakers makes the docuseries 200% better. And that’s mostly due to the magnetic and somewhat unhinged personality of DeAnn Stidham.- Decider

HBO’s new spin on the story is so gorgeously acted, though, you can’t stop thinking about the theatrics of it. The very thing that will hook you — Isaac and Chastain’s full-throttle performances — might also take you out of it.- Decider

It’s a series with a whole that is far more fascinating than its slow-paced parts. If you give it the space of a few episodes, this new drama promises great things.- Decider

Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. is a delightful remake of a well-loved ’80s show that immediately distinguishes itself from the original by its setting and the well-thought-out cast of characters.- Decider

If you want to know about the mission and the crew, read up on it and skip the first two episodes of Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission To Space. We’re hoping that once Hehir turns to the mission itself, the docuseries will get more interesting and less of a butt-kissing exercise.- Decider

Something feels vaguely unsettling about The D’Amelio Show. What made us squinchy wasn’t Charli D’Amelio herself; she seems to have her head screwed on straight. ... We’re not sure about the rest of the D’Amelios. ... It doesn’t really give much insight into teens and sudden social media fame, except for the fact that commenters really, really suuuuuuck.- Decider

Q-Force feels like a missed opportunity to present LGBTQ characters in a light that doesn’t necessarily point to their queerness with such a big, 1990’s-style arrow. But we’re holding out hope that the show gets better during the first season.- Decider

It feels like Turning Point takes a half-measure, going over that day in some detail but glossing over what truly made it horrifying to the people who lived through it or people like us, who were just in the tri-state area. ... If you’re interested in either a 9/11 documentary or a War on Terror documentary, there are better ones out there than Turning Point: 9/11 And The War On Terror, which tries to go into both in depth and accomplishes very little that’s new.- Decider

You’ll leave Impeachment feeling many things: anger at Linda Tripp, disgust toward Bill Clinton, revulsion about the cutthroat media landscape and our current team mentality of politics. But you’ll also leave it understanding that Monica Lewinsky was a real person rather than a punchline.- Decider

9/11: One Day In America is tough to watch. But it very effectively brings back the feelings from that harrowing day, even as it highlights the moments of kindness that filtered through all the darkness and death. It’s a great illustration of what that day was like and should be shown to students for decades to come.- Decider

It’s an enjoyably ludicrous premise which sits somewhere between Agatha Christie classic And Then There Were None, recent aristocratic horror comedy Ready or Not and mid-‘00s one-season wonder Harper’s Island. The acting, on the other hand, is more daytime soap opera. ... By taking aim at the privilege of the 1%, the most satisfying [chapter], too. But we’d still prefer Cronenberg to take the director’s chair for season five.- Decider

There’s something about Clickbait that seems a bit off, whether it’s the flat plot or the concentration on characters that are less than interesting. But Kazan puts in a magnetic performance, and that may be more than enough to keep viewers watching through a mystery that stumbles out of the gate, weighed down by technological nonsense.- Decider
