The lack of talking heads does get a tad monotonous, as does the constant identification of each voice speaking, but it’s a small price to pay for the fascinating stories that were collected from the archival interviews. Laurel Canyon really evokes the magic of the late ’60s and early ’70s and the area that generated so much fantastic music.

Quiz isn’t exactly a heavy lift for the viewer; it’s only 3 parts — though probably would be better as 2 — and is about a scandal that has more silly elements (a lot of coughing, for instance) than serious ones.

After one episode, the jury’s still out on whether Season 2 will live up to Season 1’s story and style. But Monáe is definitely good enough to carry the season, and the story may end up going in unexpected directions.

Stargirl is a fun ride, and the performances by Bassinger and Wilson make the first episode keep a lively pace.

The show's aesthetic is somewhat voyeuristic, but not in a bad way.

The performances of both the young and middle-aged versions of the main characters in The Woods are a good reason to keep watching. But the mystery is just complex and intriguing enough to justify watching those performances.

Just lighthearted enough to not set off a panic attack.

The Genetic Detective succeeds because Moore is charming as hell and the process she uses to solve these cases are fascinating.

We wish that the multi-level humor of the original series was here, rather than just a series of bug eye gags and heavy items falling on the characters.

It's a fun extension of the 'Sesame Street' brand and a good way for kids to get into the fun that a talk show format can be.

Love Life' is pretty good show that has fine performances, starting with an Emmy-worthy turn from Anna Kendrick.

Your level of engagement with the series will depend entirely on how easily you get queasy.

Central Park is funny and warm, and has songs that will stick in your head.

This workplace comedy feels more silly than sharp.

'Barkskins' is well-acted and looks fantastic, but it's too confusing at the start

Ultimate Tag is the perfect kind of show to keep your mind off being stuck at home.

Parenthood definitely changes you, and we’re curious to see if the male contestants in Labor Of Love are truly ready for the responsibility. We just wish the format weren’t so damned skeevy.

The Big Fib gets a whole lot of things right when it comes to the family game show genre.

Council of Dads isn’t as ridiculous as some of the other This Is Us rip-offs we’ve seen in the past few years, but its also not all that good of a show, either.

Though optimism for its worthy cause is infused in every scene, there’s an underlying sadness to Hollywood.

Never Have I Ever is just about as perfect of a teen TV comedy as you can get.

It’s a well-done drama that will keep you guessing and entertained and thinking about it even when you’re not watching it.

Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels tells a compelling story filled with fine performances.

We’re Here is more than a drag show and more than a makeover show. It’s an important watch that is just as sickening as it is heartwarming, and you’re gonna want to have a box of tissues handy.

Normal People will punch you in the gut just as much as it embraces you in a hug.

If actors believe comedy is hard, then improv comedy is harder. Translating a live improv comedy show to a TV audience? That’s double-diamond difficulty. And Middleditch and Schwartz are among comedy’s moguls.

Dragnificent! isn’t quite as good as Queer Eye — the lower budget it pretty evident — but the drag queens make it a fun, empowering watch.

The access that the filmmakers have gotten makes this series all the more fascinating to watch.
