  1. Beef: Season 2
    In increasing the number of central characters from two to four — five, arguably — in jumping back and forth between America and South Korea, and in trying to say more thematically about income inequality and various forms of economic anxiety, Beef creator Lee Sung Jin's reach has exceeded his grasp this time around. There's still some good material here, and one fantastic episode that's the equal of anything in the first season. It's just not as focused, nor as potent, as it was when Yeun and Wong were going at it.
  2. Euphoria: Season 1
    For all of the many flaws of those earlier years, high school was a much better setting for Euphoria than everything happening now. But there are still moments.
  3. Man on Fire (2026): Season 1
    Mateen is excellent casting for this, as he is for pretty much everything he's done lately. There are isolated moments where you understand why someone might want to build a new version of this title around him. But some stories — many stories, it turns out, based on the number of similarly sluggish streaming dramas of the past decade — aren't meant to fill this many hours of filmed entertainment.
  4. Down Cemetery Road: Season 1
    Though some Slow Horses seasons are stronger than others, in general it makes translating Herron's stories, and toggling between moods, look effortless. Down Cemetery Road has its moments, but overall is a reminder that what Slow Horses does is a lot harder than it appears.
  5. Fallout: Season 2
    Parts of the show are too silly to care about at all. Parts are oppressively glum. And every now and then — almost always involving Goggins — it gets the balance just right.
  6. Chad Powers: Season 1
    Chad Powers ultimately can't decide if it wants to stay in the uplifting Ted Lasso lane or be a much broader — and at times meaner — comedy than the one it likely wouldn't exist without.
  7. Black Rabbit
    This is a promising, if familiar, dynamic for Black Rabbit, created by King Richard screenwriter Zach Baylin, along with Kate Susman. But it rarely plays out in a compelling fashion, because neither brother comes across quite like the show wants them to.
