Movies TV Shows
R.J. Decker: Season 1 (2026) 75% EDIT “It delivers exactly what you want out of this kind of show. Mysteries that wrap up with the satisfaction of completing a 500-piece puzzle. Characters with depth, charisma, and chemistry. A unique setting that colors it all.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 2, 2026 Full Review CIA: Season 1 (2026) 63% EDIT “If you’re not going to make something new, you do at least need to make something quality. And an important part of quality is understanding the audience, moment, and subject matter. 'CIA’ does none of that.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 23, 2026 Full Review The Last Thing He Told Me: Season 2 (2026) 56% EDIT “This only works if you can suspend disbelief and just go with the fact that these are both the smartest/most-talented people you’ve ever met and the stupidest.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 20, 2026 Full Review The Beauty: Season 1 (2026) 72% EDIT “All in all, this show is best appreciated as a wild ride. Ryan Murphy excels at world-building, and his skills are on full display here. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Best Medicine: Season 1 (2026) 77% EDIT “'Best Medicine’ is a small, thin blanket of a show, terrible for curling up under, regardless of the season or your side of the Atlantic.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Little Disasters: Season 1 (2025) 53% 1.5/4 EDIT “Talk about a toothless waste of time. This is a show with no insight into the human condition other than a light desire to exploit people’s lowest points. ” – RogerEbert.com Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Palm Royale: Season 2 (2025) 64% EDIT “Like its central characters, ‘Palm Royale' has matured in all the best ways.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Stumble: Season 1 (2025) 82% EDIT “It all adds up to a flipping good time—a chance to watch good people achieve a bit of excellence in their little corner of the world, while laughing at the absurdity of the society that surrounds them.” – RogerEbert.com Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy: Season 1 (2025) 96% EDIT “The show portrays these truths artfully with a moral clarity that echoes through the script, off the screen, and into our lived, imperfect reality.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Wayward: Season 1 (2025) 78% EDIT “if you’re going to watch 'Wayward,' be warned. You may want to turn it off before the finale and make up your own ending. That way, you can plot a satisfying escape from Tall Pines, where you never have to imagine going back.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Women Wearing Shoulder Pads: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “A lot of grit to it... A lot of really interesting cultural insights in addition to really funny sight gags [told with a] very specific voice that I think people are going to fall in love with.” – TV-Talk (LAist 89.3) Sep 22, 2025 Full Review The Residence: Season 1 (2025) 84% EDIT “It’s good to see a Black woman in the eccentric genius role.” – LatinaMedia.Co Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Andor: Season 2 (2025) 97% EDIT “Diego Luna’s “Andor” is at its best when it’s critiquing authoritarianism, reflecting and skewering today’s MAGA politics.” – LatinaMedia.Co Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Long Story Short: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “...this show just sang. It had all of these beautiful and hilarious truths about what it is to be in family, what it is to be a kid,...a parent and these really specific pieces of relationships with each other that I thought was just beautiful and true...” – Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 27, 2025 Full Review The Rainmaker: Season 1 (2025) 56% EDIT “Together, it all adds up to a comforting watch.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Leanne: Season 1 (2025) 71% EDIT “Its goal is comfort TV, and 'Leanne’ mostly achieves that. Bless its heart.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Nautilus: Season 1 (2025) 79% EDIT “An adventure worthy of its budget, with a set of heroes worthy of our allegiance, attention, and admiration.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Nine Perfect Strangers: Season 2 (2025) 44% EDIT “[The second season] goes even deeper into our lead’s history, stripping away the mystery surrounding her and making the show less compelling. ” – RogerEbert.com May 19, 2025 Full Review FOREVER: Season 1 (2025) 97% 4/4 EDIT “It’s an insightful update of Blume’s novel, a powerful addition to Akil’s body of work, and a deeply compelling piece of art.” – RogerEbert.com May 8, 2025 Full Review You: Season 5 (2025) 79% EDIT “The show sees and names our guilt, giving us perhaps a better ending than we deserve.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Sherlock & Daughter: Season 1 (2025) 77% EDIT ““Sherlock & Daughter” makes multiple bewildering stylistic choices that undercut the fun of trying to solve the mystery along with the famed detective. ” – RogerEbert.com Apr 17, 2025 Full Review North of North: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “With this strong cast and rarely platformed perspective, "North of North" is able to show the joy, the ridiculousness, and injustices present in modern, Inuk communities.” – LatinaMedia.Co Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Good American Family: Season 1 (2025) 50% EDIT “For all of its soapy-ripped-from-the-headlines setup, the eight-part series is a layered show about responsibility, how “good” people can do terrible things, and the intoxicating power of narrative.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Daredevil: Born Again: Season 1 (2025) 87% EDIT “The ambitious nine-part series lands plenty of punches if you go in knowing that it positions comic-book fare not as escapist entertainment but as bloody, political commentary. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Grosse Pointe Garden Society: Season 1 (2025) 75% EDIT “Grosse Pointe Garden Society echoes a lot of other prime-time murder mystery shows you’ve seen... And that’s not a bad thing.” – LatinaMedia.Co Feb 21, 2025 Full Review
