Imperfect Women: Season 1 (2026) 46% 5/10 EDIT “Within the overall scope of Apple TV's thriller offerings, Imperfect Women falls squarely in the middle. Its performances are strong enough to hook you, but the narrative isn't as consistently propulsive as it could be...” – Collider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Outlander: Season 8 (2026) 100% 8/10 EDIT “With only three episodes to refer to, it's tough to say whether Starz's epic fantasy romance series will stick the landing, but this final beginning is a strong example of what the show has always been good at...” – Collider Mar 3, 2026 Full Review Bridgerton: Season 4 (2026) 82% 8/10 EDIT “... the upstairs/downstairs love story that gradually unfolds between its two leads turns Bridgerton into an even better version of itself.” – Collider Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 9 (2025) 10/10 EDIT “This week's episode, "La Chica o El Mundo," co-written by Alison Tatlock and director Gordon Smith, explicitly spells it out — Carol can either get the girl or save the world, but she'll never be able to have both...” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 8 (2025) 9/10 EDIT “What this week's episode, "Charm Offensive," written by Jonny Gomez and directed by Melissa Bernstein, makes abundantly clear is that one of the world's only immune parties has decided to play nice with the Others...” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 7 (2025) 8/10 EDIT “Carlos Manuel Vesga gets more of the spotlight this week, with his best moment involving Manousos' confrontation of the Others.” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 6 (2025) 8/10 EDIT “"HDP," written by Vera Blasi and directed by Gandja Monteiro, feels like a quiet episode despite taking place in a city that notoriously never sleeps, but it also leads to some unexpected and potentially critical worldbuilding reveals...” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 5 (2025) 8/10 EDIT “... "Got Milk" is also an episode that forces Seehorn to carry Pluribus on her shoulders for the bulk of the hour, and she does so in stunning fashion.” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 4 (2025) 9/10 EDIT “Like "Grenade" before it, the title of this week's episode, "Please, Carol," adopts a wholly new meaning once you get to those closing minutes...” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 3 (2025) 9/10 EDIT “Turns out the "Grenade" in this episode's title isn't a metaphor.” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 2 (2025) 9/10 EDIT “Pluribus is off to an incredible start with its two-episode premiere.” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1, Episode 1 (2025) 9/10 EDIT “The opening night sequence in Albuquerque when the virus hits is terrifying and unsettling.” – Collider Jan 20, 2026 Full Review The Abandons: Season 1 (2025) 32% 4/10 EDIT “It's hard not to wonder what The Abandons would have looked like if Sutter had remained to steer the ship from beginning to end, but in his absence, the Netflix western series can't sustain any significant narrative momentum...” – Collider Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1 (2025) 99% 10/10 EDIT “... Gilligan not only contributes another sci-fi masterpiece that feels right at home in the Apple TV library but also delivers a series that manages to be equal parts unnerving, hilarious, heartbreaking, and always unexpected.” – Collider Nov 7, 2025 Full Review The Witcher: Season 4 (2025) 59% 8/10 EDIT “All eyes might be on Hemsworth in anticipation of his debut, but everyone should be watching this action-packed fantasy epic for far more than just Geralt of Rivia now.” – Collider Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Talamasca: The Secret Order: Season 1 (2025) 61% 7/10 EDIT “... it expands the world to a more exciting degree, but it's also an entertaining place for fans to spend their time while they're patiently waiting for another season of the vampires' drama to drop.” – Collider Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Murdaugh: Death in the Family: Season 1 (2025) 69% 4/10 EDIT “What ultimately works against Murdaugh: Death in the Family's success is the fact that, in lieu of the truth, there's not much that any glossy, well-cast dramatization can still add to the conversation.” – Collider Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Chad Powers: Season 1 (2025) 59% 8/10 EDIT “Overall, Chad Powers feels like the television equivalent of a true freshman who came out of nowhere to win the prized Heisman trophy...” – Collider Sep 26, 2025 Full Review House of Guinness: Season 1 (2025) 90% 7/10 EDIT “It's bolstered by a terrific cast giving performances that range from compelling to surprising, a keen sense of identity, and a bold approach to its soundtrack and subtitling that frankly feels like a breath of fresh air...” – Collider Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Slow Horses: Season 5 (2025) 96% 8/10 EDIT “If Slow Horses Season 5 proves anything, it's that even an installment of this show that favors a back-to-basics approach is still definitely worth tuning in for. ” – Collider Sep 16, 2025 Full Review Task: Season 1 (2025) 96% 8/10 EDIT “It's more than a crime procedural; it's a bleak meditation on grief, faith, and what we ultimately lose by embracing revenge over forgiveness.” – Collider Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Outlander: Blood of my Blood: Season 1 (2025) 87% 8/10 EDIT “Outlander: Blood of My Blood unquestionably maintains the magic of the original show, a steamy, emotional, addictively watchable prequel that succeeds at everything fans have loved from the beginning...” – Collider Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Washington Black: Season 1 (2025) 83% 7/10 EDIT “Overall, the pleasure of watching a show like Washington Black is the mere fact that it exists, rooted in joy, adventure, romance, and self-discovery.” – Collider Jul 21, 2025 Full Review The Gilded Age: Season 3 (2025) 96% 8/10 EDIT “As consistent as the last two seasons of The Gilded Age have been, Fellowes and Warfield seem to be using this newest batch of episodes to settle in with the type of storytelling that will have long-term ripple effects on these characters.” – Collider Jun 12, 2025 Full Review The Buccaneers: Season 2 (2025) 69% 7/10 EDIT “While Season 2 culminates with an ending that could indicate a bold future direction for the story, the series continues to struggle at finding a natural balance between a frothy, feminist romp and a melancholy period drama...” – Collider Jun 12, 2025 Full Review
