The murder mystery stuff is satisfactory, and could lead to unexpected reveals. But in Nine Bodies, it’s the suspicion and what’s left unsaid among its plane crash survivors that has us hanging with them in their jungle clearing.

English Teacher is still a funny workplace comedy, despite the fact that the Alvarez’ character is becoming more self-righteous as the series goes along.

The series still makes wonderful use of clean, empty spaces by giving them a foreboding air. Combine this with the evocative music of Yutaka Yamada, pulsing and urgent all at once, and we felt re-immersed in the world the series imagines before we even re-entered the world it imagines.

Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent is pretty much what you expect from any entry in the L&O franchise, which is a good thing.

The first episode of House Of Guinness shows more than tells, and that’s because of Steven Knight’s expert skills in making his characters vibrant right out of the gate.

Wayward has two very compelling lead performances from Martin and Collette, and a good balance between the dark and the darkly funny.

If you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or if you are super into the zombie apocalypse genre, then you’ll want to STREAM IT, because this show was made specifically for you. Otherwise, despite the vivid animation and high-octane action sequences, Marvel Zombies isn’t the most accessible title, so if you’re not the target audience, you may be better off SKIPPING IT

Hotel Costiera is a fun and visually-stunning series with Jesse Williams in his element as the half-Italian, half-American fixer.

Slow Horses continues to be fun to watch because of Oldman’s crusty performance and the agents at Slough House working together so well despite not exactly being friends. It’s a chemistry that works for this show, and can sustain it for a number of seasons beyond this one.

With The Lowdown, Sterlin Harjo has created an interesting world around Hawke’s ethically-murky main character, and that will serve the show well as the season goes forward.

While we still enjoy Quinto as Dr. Wolf, the rest of Brilliant Minds is just too generic to get excited about.

Tulsa King continues to be a bit cartoonish and ridiculous, with stories that are introduced and dropped with increasing frequency. But Stallone is still entertaining as Dwight, as is the crew around him, and that may be enough for this show.

Haunted Hotel could be funnier, but it’s got fun characters and the capacity to create an infinite number of funny ghosts and monsters to occupy the hotel’s many rooms.

We get the feeling that Black Rabbit is going to be problematic and overstuffed as the series moves along, but Law and Bateman are so compelling as Jake and Vince, we’ll keep watching, just to see how far Vince pushes his brother’s goodwill.

Human brings the science behind the study of the history of homo sapiens down to, well, a human level, thanks to the enthusiastic storytelling of Ella Al-Shamahi.

We’ve held out hope in the past that The Morning Show would control the impulse to spiral into flights of fancy and actually stick to the drama involved in trying to produce credible news shows in this trying media environment, but the fourth season has proven to us that this is not what the show is ever going to be about, and we’re just not into what it is trying to do.

We’re hyped to see how our heroes will confront the latest Vought threat. Confidence in themselves and their powers is growing.

While we still enjoy High Potential, especially now that Olson and the rest of the cast have settled into a nice rhythm with each other, we hope that the continuing Game Maker storyline doesn’t disrupt the show’s flow as much as it does in the first episode of Season 2.

The central mystery in The Gone is OK, but the series is elevated by the Māori storyline and the backstories of the two cops investigating the case.

Tempest definitely shows potential in its first episode.

The Dead Girls moves a little slowly, but the performances and subject matter are definitely interesting enough to keep us watching.

The Hardacres is an enjoyable period drama that stays light on the drama and goes heavy on establishing how solid the family unit is, whether they live on the docks or on a country estate.

If you have any curiosity at all about Charlie Sheen, you’ll consume AKA Charlie Sheen in one three-hour gulp like we did. Sheen’s forthrightness and brutal honesty as he reflects back on his eventful life so far is just that fascinating to watch.

We’re still not sure if The Girlfriend is going to be a taut, gripping thriller or just make us roll our eyes so much that they get tired. But the first episode shows enough promise, and makes viewers ask enough questions about both of its main characters, to keep us watching.

The show takes a clear-eyed look at how Blacks were represented in front of and behind the camera.

Only Murders In The Building continues to be funny while presenting solid mysteries for Mabel, Charles and Oliver to solve.

We’re a bit wary that all the stories the first episode of The Crow Girl introduces won’t come together, and it’s a tonally inconsistent episode. But we’re also going to keep watching, mainly because of the potential twists and turns involved with those stories merging at some point.

Lynely will succeed if it mines the differences between Lynley and Havers and leans on the chemistry between Suter and Barclay.
