  1. The fact that Raniere took what could be seen as a calculated, logical, scientific approach to his program fascinates us even more. When you hear him talk, he sounds less like a motivational speaker and more like a college professor or a wonky tech CEO. ... The Vow benefits from access to people like Vicente and Edmondson, plus lots of footage from various NXIVM organizational videos, meetings, and other insightful stuff.
  2. Love In The Time Of Corona isn’t telling any stories that’ll blow you away, but the couples have understandable chemistry, and the production values are surprisingly high, given the restrictions the producers and crew were under.
  3. It’s easy to dismiss Hoops as just curse-filled and crass. But the cast is great, and you start to root for Coach Hopkins and his team by the end of the first episode. It isn’t always funny, but it’s just funny enough and has enough heart to be a decent show.
  4. High Score might not tell hardcore gamers anything they don’t know. But they, along with those of us who might’ve stopped at Spy Hunter or the Sega Genesis — and are susceptible to this type of colorful nostalgia — will binge all six episodes compulsively. Netflix knows a little something about flow, too.
  5. We’re a bit concerned that the main characters in Dead Pixels aren’t going to rise above how pathetic they are in the first episode. But the episode was funny enough (despite the bleeps) that we have hope that these people will be shown to have a life beyond just an MMORPG.
  6. Fans of this genre of reality show will likely really get into the storylines presented here. We wish that Burnett and his producers concentrated on more non-American teams.
  7. Ted Lasso has a feel-good vibe about it that overcomes the first episode’s lack of funny lines. And it helps that Sudeikis is amazingly likable and he’s hooked up with Lawrence, who always knows how to get the most out of his show’s characters.
  8. This show is just as fun and irreverent as its title, but there’s actually more going on beneath that surface of snark.
  9. Five Bedrooms won’t make you laugh out loud, but as you get to know the people who have bought into this massive mess of a house, you’ll likely start rooting for their ersatz family to function like a real one.
  10. There’s a vague sense that we’re listening in on a group of people chatting about these issues over wine, beer and food in a fashion that feels above the fray and a bit disconnected. That was likely not Luna’s intention, but that’s how it comes off. ... Luna is a very curious dinner host, egging on the discussions on Pan y Circo with knowing and educated questions. We just hope that all the discussions are as passionate and animated as the one about femicide was.
  11. The Other One takes a unique look at death and mourning, couched in a story about two families thrown together under extreme circumstances. The show’s warmth is established almost right away and will only get better.
  12. The format has potential for great drama, but in this case both sides are underdeveloped. ... The first episode of We Hunt Together is less intriguing than its staggered timeline suggests it will be. We’re not expecting things to get any better from there.
  13. If you didn’t watch Filthy Rich and you want to find out more details about the Epstein case, Surviving Jeffrey Epstein will give you all of the details you need to know, but mainly through the testimony of the girls (now women) that Epstein and Maxwell victimized.
  14. We like Being Reuben because Reuben de Maid’s personality is so big that he compels you to watch. But his family is a lot of fun, too, which makes for a light, fun reality series that’s perfect for watching while folding laundry or making some “breakies.”
  15. Lovecraft Country is a pulpy treat: sexy, scary, and featuring a poignant examination of some of the true horrors in American society.
  16. The pieces are there for a really fun dark comedy. But things just may need time to come together.
  17. Star Trek: Lower Decks is a hilarious look at the people who make Starfleet run and never get credit. And it’s the first Trek product since The Voyage Home to really do a good job skewering the franchise’s self-important streak.
  18. Swan is appealing as Jenny, and we’re always happy when a procedural focuses as much on characters as it does on the case of the week. It’s a sign that Coroner will only get better.
  19. The Swamp‘s biggest strength, its nuance, is potentially its weakness. Viewers are so accustomed to super biased storytelling when it comes from contemporary political docs that The Swamp‘s extremely sensitive portrayals of three controversial Republican politicians as people might actually upset some viewers.
  20. The Fugitive is typical for what Quibi has given its (very few) viewers so far: A project that’s not well-thought out, especially for the streamer’s 7-10 minute episode format. Oh, and it’s bad too.
  21. Immigration Nation packs a powerful punch, showing the people affected by the Trump administration’s immigration policy up close. But how you feel about the docuseries will depend on where you fall in the debate.
  22. Fridge Wars has just enough of a twist to make the cooking competition format fun, and it seems like everyone is having fun trying to figure out how to make a dish from what’s in random people’s refirigerators.
  23. Taskmaster is so funny, we wonder why it hasn’t come to the US sooner. And yes, we don’t count that Reggie Watts version.
  24. Muppets Now gives us the purest Muppet content in a very long time. ... Muppets Now is the total spiritual successor to the groundbreaking and iconic ’70s Muppet Show. Truly, the variety show of yesteryear would be a playlist of totally bonkers YouTube vids today.
  25. The Dog House: UK is a light and sweet diversion from all the cynical reality series out there. It would fit really well on Animal Planet, which is a high compliment for a show like this.
  26. Frayed tells a funny and hopefully heartwarming story about a woman who has to re-adapt to the place she fled decades ago, and how her pasty and awkward kids might flourish there. It’s not a new concept, but it works here.
  27. It demystifies our view of the competition, with all its ceremonial grandiosity, sweeping music and heart-tugging TV profiles. It takes our perception of these impenetrable sports heroes and turns it upside-down.
  28. We don’t think the producers care one iota about seeing these contestants actually get better. They salivate at their deeply personal and traumatic stories and want to see them fight and kiss each other.
  29. In My Skin provides some extra substance to the typical coming-of-age story, couched in mental illness and the desire of most teens to just fit in, even if they have to go to extreme measures to accomplish that goal.
  30. If you want to watch a cringey but hilarious show about the music business, go find Dave, which is also on Hulu. Maxxx will just make you cringe.
