The show looks gorgeous and can stand side-by-side with the other nature docs on Netflix. The lessons it teaches are also worth learning. It’s actually not hard to imagine Down to Earth becoming part of a very hip, very millennial high school teacher’s curriculum when school starts back up in the fall.

Some of Little Voice‘s saccharine might get you in a grumpy mood, but Bareilles’ music and O’Grady’s performance will help with alleviate those grumpies pretty quickly.

The series is not only entertaining and admirable but also an important look at what so many women, even those at the very top of their game in the entertainment industry, have to go through and pretend it’s all good when it very clearly is not.

It’s very silly, very extreme, and very entertaining. But unlike Regular Show, Close Enough consistently channels its random energy and silly characters to make a bigger, more interesting point.

We were so intrigued by how the individual challenges and the team challenges would work, that we played both episodes back to back, and was invested in both. ... Even though there is more at stake with the individual challenges, the team challenges are the more intriguing part of each episode, because this is where the interpersonal relationships come into play.

Stateless has the pedigree and the performances to match its prestige drama ambitions. But the first episode suffers from tonal mismatches and doesn’t bring the stories together in a satisfying enough way to make us automatically want to watch more.

We wish that the first episode went into more details about the boys’ accusations and the trial that ensued. Otherwise, it was a lot of the same song being sung, that this kid couldn’t possibly have done what he was accused of doing; it made for a particularly slow-moving first episode.

If you’re a fan of the JU-ON or The Grudge franchises, JU-ON: Origins will help fill in some blanks with a well-drawn story and interesting characters. But even if you’re not, the stories told in this series will be intriguing to any horror fan.

The mysteries this new version discusses are fascinating and the episodes are well-researched with good storytelling. We just wish they named it something else.

Netflix’s new version of The Baby-Sitters Club is a total triumph. It’s sweet, funny, hopeful, but most of all, encouraging. The message to girls, young and old, is that we are stronger together. The Baby-Sitters Club might be a pitch perfect show for kids and tweens, but it’s sure to become a feel-good obsession for grown women and men alike. It’s that good.

Warrior Nun is the rare pulpy fantasy show that knows when to lean into its silly side and when to slow down and get serious. That makes it incredibly addictive for a specific kind of action fan.

If you’re looking for light-hearted laughs, this will do the trick. But SKIP IT if you want something better. Dig into Lopez’s back catalog on HBO Max for harder-hitting material, or for a fresher perspective from a younger generation, go with Cristela Alonzo’s Lower Classy on Netflix or Jesus Trejo’s Stay At Home Son, which just came out a month ago on Showtime.

The first episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands is able to add to this series without once trivializing its legacy. “BMO” proves that there are more stories to tell from the Land of Ooo, and we can trust Pendleton Ward to deliver even more heartwarming tales of adventure and friendship.

HBO’s six-part I’ll Be Gone in the Dark isn’t merely an examination of one of most devastating and least understood criminals in modern history. It’s a heartfelt deep dive into the extraordinary everyday woman who led to his capture.

Into The Unknown: Making Frozen 2 doesn’t suffer from the usual Disney self-promotional schtick that infiltrates most of the Disney+ BTS docuseries we’ve seen, it’s still a very informative series that shows that even the best animated features run into issues and problems that need to be overcome.

If you liked Season 2 of Search Party then Season 3 is more of the same. If you were shocked by the show’s dark turn at the end of the first season, though, don’t expect the show to go back to that season’s tone.

Crazy Delicious is your new cooking show obsession.

It made me laugh. And that kind of involuntary giggle that you can’t help, it’s just your body’s way of reacting, not a polite, calculated chuckle at any point. It’s not light, easy viewing by any means, but this chaotic special is a respite from the other kind of chaos that is 2020 and anything that provides a laugh these days is worth watching.

Matthew Rhys’ powerful performance is the main reason to watch this reboot of Perry Mason, but the mystery is intriguing enough to justify watching all of the show’s fine performances.

Taste The Nation With Padma Lakshmi won’t make anyone forget about Bourdain and his various shows, but it’s well-shot, Lakshmi is a warm and knowledgeable host, and the food she discovers is both comforting and surprising.

It’s not supposed to be a program that looks expertly crafted, or even consistent in terms of the quality of comedy. But we were surprised at how much we enjoyed most of the videos shown, and we were shocked at how much we actually laughed.

Syfy Wire’s The Great Debate is one of those shows that’s funny, moves quickly, and helps give you something light to watch in between all the heavy stuff that’s going on these days. And any place that mentions Bad Dudes and Burgertime (thanks, Brian Posehn, for the second item) is aces in our book.

Even Chappelle admits near the end: “This is not funny at all.” But it needed to be said. And this could only be said by Chappelle.

Legendary feels completely immersive. Everywhere you look, it’s a ball. And when Legendary gets into the competition gig, it slays. The performances in the first episode are, well, legendary. ... The show’s called Legendary for a reason.

The challenges themselves are all standard-grade challenges, some more sophisticated than others, and Khare is a fine host. ... Karma’s contestants are a group of diverse, intelligent, and kind kids who will quickly realize that the kinder they are to each other, the farther they’ll go.

Skip it, unless you have a serious itch for some foliage-porn.

This show is equally as fun as its bright young cast, and it depicts enough of a twist on the classic coming out story that you’ll want to watch more.

The first couple of seasons of [Last Comic Standing] packed its contestants into a house to live together, and everything that happened in the house was far funnier than the contrived comedy competitions with live studio audiences. LOL: Australia does just that, and it’ll make you LOL IRL.
