Movies TV Shows
The Beauty: Season 1 (2026) 70% 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) 67% 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) 54% 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) 46% 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 Suits LA: Season 1 (2025) 36% EDIT “This is a show that asks you to please turn off your brain before viewing and let the whole thing wash over you like a warm bath. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Love You to Death: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT ““A Muerte” does it superbly, letting the ridiculous mix with the quotidian and building to a fevered, but somehow still heartful, pitch.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Hal & Harper: Season 1 (2025) 94% EDIT ““Hal & Harper” masterfully weaves its tones, finding humor in the co-dependency of the siblings, even as it exposes the raw hurt underneath. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 1, 2025 Full Review
