Rick and Morty: The Anime: Season 1 (2024) 50% 7/10 EDIT “Even if Rick and Morty: The Anime ultimately veers toward inexplicable more than enjoyable, though, it’s never boring -- which you can’t always say about Rick and Morty itself. If nothing else, the anime will go down as an impressive exercise.” – IGN Movies Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Lady in the Lake: Season 1 (2024) 75% 4/10 EDIT “There’s no amount of style or showiness that can overcome the writing that keeps Lady in the Lake’s sputtering forward. ” – IGN Movies Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Sunny: Season 1 (2024) 90% 6/10 EDIT “What’s most disappointing about Sunny is that it has all of the elements of a better show in its grasp: a strong cast, inspired look, and gripping premise. It even has an endearing robot... Yet the story just can’t sustain its bloated runtime.” – IGN Movies Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1 (2024) 93% EDIT “Can it generate a new audience for this decades-old series... A charming new lead in Barbie’s Ncuti Gatwa, a celebrated showrunner, and guest stars like Jonathan Groff and RuPaul's Drag Race’s Jinkx Monsoon go a long way toward achieving that aim.” – The Daily Beast May 11, 2024 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 12, Episode 9 (2024) EDIT “And while his presence may be enough cause for celebration, the real takeaway here is that Springsteen should actually think about acting as an Act II for his career.” – The Daily Beast Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Jerrod Carmichael: Reality Show: Season 1 (2024) 95% EDIT “While Reality Show is not quite as revelatory as his career-defining special, it’s a fascinating, affecting, and valuable experiment in how honest one can really be when you’re writing, directing, and filming your own life.” – The Daily Beast Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Hazbin Hotel: Season 1 (2024) 79% EDIT “While there’s some fun to be had with its song-and-dance mode, it’s impossible to ignore how closely Hazbin’s concepts of mature themes and comedy match up with those of a 15-year-old boy.” – The Daily Beast Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Pokémon Concierge: Season 1 (2023) 100% EDIT “Watching them walk around shows obvious care and consideration, with some sprinting around on four paws, others stumbling around upright. The show’s high level of craftsmanship makes every small detail worth poring over in awe.” – The Daily Beast Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: Season 1 (2023) 96% EDIT “This series begs to be animated. The eight-episode anime is a perfect encapsulation of what made the comics so captivating. It’s a daring, expressive, original cartoon, translating O’Malley’s art and writing into a new medium without missing a beat. ” – The Daily Beast Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Rick and Morty: Season 7 (2023) 77% EDIT “While Adult Swim won’t even tell reviewers who the new Rick and Morty are—there are two actors replacing Roiland—fans can rest assured that no beats are missed... Rick and Morty continues its reign as one of the funniest shows on cable television.” – The Daily Beast Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Futurama: Season 11 (2023) 86% EDIT “Like the Comedy Central redux, it affirms that nostalgia is a helluva thing—a thing that does not work in New-New-turama’s favor... Hulu’s Futurama... decides to cut things off at the “joke” part and leave much of the rest of it behind.” – The Daily Beast Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Aggretsuko: Season 5 (2023) 86% EDIT “The phenomenal anime series deserves way more attention, and these scenes from its sensational final season are beautiful, hilarious examples of why.” – The Daily Beast Feb 27, 2023 Full Review I Hate Suzie: Season 1 (2020) 95% EDIT “For as bleakly comic as Season 1 of actress/co-creator Billie Piper’s masterwork often was, the show balanced its humor with an unflinching, unrelenting darkness.” – The Daily Beast Dec 23, 2022 Full Review I Hate Suzie: Season 2 (2022) 100% EDIT “Alas, there is no fun, nor joy, nor good tidings to anyone to be found here. And I Hate Suzie Too is brilliant for it—for once again painfully, beautifully leaning into the deleterious effects of unprocessed trauma.” – The Daily Beast Dec 23, 2022 Full Review Better Call Saul: Season 6, Episode 12 (2022) EDIT “Rhea Seehorn’s sensational performance on Better Call Saul has all led up to a devastating scene in Monday night’s penultimate episode. We’re still drying our tears.” – The Daily Beast Aug 11, 2022 Full Review Close Enough: Season 3 (2022) EDIT “HBO Max’s funniest, most absurd, and most meta series.” – The Daily Beast Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Joe Pera Talks With You: Season 3 (2021) EDIT “Goodbye to the sweetest show on TV...” – The Daily Beast Jul 9, 2022 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 47 (2021) 79% EDIT “The media melted down into a frenzy over Davidson’s exit from the sketch show. But any true fan knows that Bryant’s singular presence is what will be missed the most.” – The Daily Beast May 27, 2022 Full Review Euphoria: Season 2, Episode 8 (2022) EDIT “A hot mess of a finale leaves lots of questions, and little reason to care about the answers.” – Slate Feb 28, 2022 Full Review How to With John Wilson: Season 1 (2020) 100% EDIT “How To With John Wilson often twists into awkward shapes to get from its basic points A to its more peculiar points B, and the journey is always funny in its strangeness.” – Vox Dec 14, 2020 Full Review PEN15: Season 2 (2020) 100% EDIT “These are the timeless, traumatic experiences I gasped at, surprised and impressed by how much they resembled my own memories of seventh grade. And they're what has made me fall deeper and deeper for the show.” – Vox Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Watchmen: Season 1, Episode 9 (2019) EDIT “The poignancy of their [Angela and Dr. Manhattan's] relationship in particular made the conclusion land for me, as it carried increased emotional heft.” – Vox Dec 16, 2019 Full Review Watchmen: Season 1, Episode 8 (2019) EDIT “God Walks Into Abar" proved to me that I was right all along for pining so deeply for more time with the couple.” – Vox Dec 9, 2019 Full Review Watchmen: Season 1, Episode 7 (2019) EDIT “Finding out what happened in Angela's own dark past and witnessing how it affects her in the present ... that is the kind of story I crave. And episode seven delivered.” – Vox Dec 2, 2019 Full Review Watchmen: Season 1, Episode 6 (2019) EDIT “Watchmen's increasing meditations on race have already explored how racial superiority complexes benefit those who believe in them. This episode, in the moments seen through Will's eyes, did that most concretely.” – Vox Nov 25, 2019 Full Review
