  1. Kevin Hart: Zero F**ks Given
    His humor works best onstage and onscreen when he’s trying too hard or moving outside of his comfort zone (as the boxing sequence demonstrates), or when he’s playing against a solid foil, such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson or Ice Cube in multiple movies. This hour only seems to prove that as a husband in his 40s, Hart truly gives zero f**ks; as a comedian and famous person, however, he still cares too much about where he stands.
  2. We Are the Champions: Season 1
    We Are The Champions shows contests that you may have never heard of or seen, but even if you have seen them before, the show treats them with such reverence that you’ll become fans.
  3. The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special
    It’s not a new classic, but it’s nice that Star Wars fans finally have something watchable to put on during the holiday season.
  4. Murder on Middle Beach: Season 1
    Watching Murder on Middle Beach often feels like spying on Hamburg’s most private therapy sessions. This is thanks to Hamburg’s deeply intimate filmmaking style that refuses to turn off the camera even when he’s at his lowest moments. ... Altogether that’s where Murder on Middle Beach excels, in its intimacy.
  5. The Reagans (2020): Season 1
    The Reagans is obviously a partisan production, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth watching. By re-contextualizing Ronald Reagan’s presidency, the series makes a clear case for how we got to this point as a country. It didn’t just start with Donald Trump.
  6. James May: Oh Cook!: Season 1
    Oh Cook! is low-key funny, but definitely generates a number of laughs. ... But it’s surprisingly informative, due to May’s grasp of food history minutiae, and the meals he makes are surprisingly well-done.
  7. Alex Rider: Season 1
    Alex Rider is definitely an above average entry in TV’s spy genre; it takes its main character seriously and develops him enough that we can actually believe he’ll do a good job as an agent. That’s saying a lot.
  8. Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun: Season 1
    This is the time to embrace absurdity and silliness, and the six episodes will fly by in under two hours. When the world feels upside down, leave it to three men from Down Under to make you feel right again.
  9. Eater's Guide to the World: Season 1
    The parts just don’t make a cohesive whole. ... Aside from Maya Rudolph’s narration, Eater’s Guide To The World doesn’t offer anything you haven’t seen in dozens of shows on Food Network and elsewhere over the past 20 or so years.
  10. Trial 4: Season 1
    Trial 4 takes some time to get going, and the first episode ironically shows very little of Sean Ellis, it’s still a compelling story of corruption and the determination of a man to clear his name.
  11. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City: Season 1
    They seem to be eager to share too much and show their fractured relationships as they strive for that “perfection is attainable” life. It’s an awareness previous Housewives spent multiple seasons learning, but these ladies are already savvy. This all adds up to one of the most confident starts to a Bravo series we’ve perhaps ever seen, and one that is boldly ready to bring Bravo into a new era.
  12. The Liberator: Season 1
    The Liberator would not have worked if it wasn’t animated, due to its speechifying corniness. But the fine acting and arresting visual style takes the WWII drama from mundane to at least watchable.
  13. The Cost of Winning: Season 1
    The Cost of Winning is more feature-profile than hard journalism. But it’s at least a thoughtful, well-made and engaging feature-profile.
  14. The South Westerlies: Season 1
    The South Westerlies is as refreshing as an ocean breeze, with a fine cast that has great chemistry from their first scenes together.
  15. Moonbase 8: Season 1
    While we didn’t laugh much during the first episode of Moonbase 8, we still saw the beginnings of three interesting characters and a great chemistry among them.
  16. The Crown: Season 4
    The Charles and Diana soap opera shines in part because of its built-in cache, but mostly because Josh O’Connor and Emma Corrin are the season’s standouts. ... Less impressive is Gillian Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher. ... But it’s a credit to showrunner Peter Morgan and Emma Corrin herself that Princess Di doesn’t takeover the entire show. There are still standalone episodes devoted to peculiar moments for the monarchy.
  17. Two Weeks to Live: Season 1
    The fact that we have a solid idea of who Kim is at the outset is more than enough for us. ... While Two Weeks To Live needs to deepen a few other characters, it set up its story very well in its first episode, aided by the fine lead performance of Maisie Williams.
  18. Dash & Lily: Season 1
    Dash & Lily is effervescently charming and brimming with real emotion. It is a Christmas rom-com that even the most grumpy of grinches will fall for.
  19. B Positive: Season 1
    We’re recommending B Positive mostly on the strength of the cast and the ability of Lorre and his showrunners to make the adjustments they need to find the show’s sweet spot. ... But this is one of the shakiest premises we’ve seen yet in a Lorre sitcom.
  20. Industry: Season 1
    It’s that very back and forth that makes Industry so much fun. This workplace and its employees are so callous, so singleminded you want to see them trip over their own inflated egos not once but a dozen times. You want to see them rise from the ashes of their own mistakes and try to make it, even if doing so will make you hate them just a little bit more.
  21. A Teacher: Season 1
    There’s little about A Teacher that should feel comfortable. FX on Hulu’s latest miniseries focuses on the relationship between a teacher and her underage high school student, and creator Hannah Fidell does everything possible to sell this romance. Yet it’s that grueling feeling of discomfort that makes this miniseries work.
  22. Roadkill: Season 1
    As soapy as Roadkill is, it has a great cast going for it, led by the always watchable Hugh Laurie. In fact, Laurie is the entire reason to watch this pulpy miniseries, just to see if his character can outrun everyone trying to bring him down.
  23. Truth Seekers: Season 1
    The magic of Pegg and Frost is alive and well, and Truth Seekers strikes the perfect balance of heart, horror, and humanity. This one is more than worth your time.
  24. That Animal Rescue Show: Season 1
    That Animal Rescue Show takes a low-key, realistic look at people who give their lives to animals that need help. In a sea of negativity in media, such a positive show is a welcome, refreshing change of pace.
  25. Sarah Cooper: Everything's Fine
    The more enjoyable aspects of the special came during the bits that had nothing to do with Trump but everything to do with how weird 2020 is. ... Other sketches hit or missed as much due to the celebrity co-star’s willingness to throw him or herself into the character. So, much like SNL, then.
  26. How to With John Wilson: Season 1
    It’s like a nice light dessert after all the heavy fare the network offers. We love seeing and hearing from the intensely uncomfortable Wilson, and marvel at how his filmmaking instincts take him in very strange and interesting directions.
  27. Equal: Season 1
    While the reenactments in Equal were distracting, we were enlightened by this examination of a piece of history we knew little about, and enjoyed what Porter brought to the project via a narration style only Porter could pull off.
  28. The Undoing: Season 1
    Despite Kidman’s and Grant’s performances, we couldn’t muster up enough energy to care about anyone in The Undoing, at least not enough to spend six hours unraveling its central mystery. It’s certainly watchable, but having this show come so soon after BLL makes it feel like we’ve seen it all before.
  29. The Queen's Gambit: Season 1
    Allan Scott and Scott Frank have done a fine job of adapting the long sought-after 1983 novel and exploring the phases of Beth Harmon’s life.
  30. 537 Votes
    Clips along at an entertaining pace and turns an upsetting story into comic tragedy. You likely haven’t seen this saga told with such crisp clarity before.
