The Testaments: Season 1 (2026) 84% EDIT “A pickled fairy tale brined in the tears of teenage girls, The Testaments is different enough from The Handmaid’s Tale to be engaging, yet too exhaustingly connected to that series to stand as something truly distinctive and provocative.” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 2, 2026 Full Review Saturday Night Live UK: Season 1 (2026) 93% EDIT “The cast was good enough that I’ll watch the next few weeks, if only to justify facile jokes about how it USED to be funny.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 24, 2026 Full Review BAIT: Season 1 (2026) 97% EDIT “It’s more interesting and worthy of admiration than necessarily great, but you can see the greatness on the periphery. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 19, 2026 Full Review The Madison: Season 1 (2026) 61% EDIT “There are two shows clashing in The Madison and one of them is very good -- perhaps the richest and most mature thing Sheridan has ever written for the small screen, thoroughly undermined by the laziest writing he has ever done.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 17, 2026 Full Review The Academy Awards: Season 98 (2026) 69% EDIT “It’s a pity that I was constantly distracted by the muffled, tinny sound, the confused direction and the strange pacing, because aspects of the show worked extremely well.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Imperfect Women: Season 1 (2026) 43% EDIT “Imperfect Women isn’t the worst entry in television’s most exhausted genre, but it arrives so late in the genre’s lifespan that its generic blandness feels more offensive than jagged ineptitude. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Sunny Nights: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “The two American stars, the reason for Hulu to be giving this one a push, are both very good, using their respective comic personae to humorous effect but not schtick. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Scarpetta: Season 1 (2026) 60% EDIT “In general, I respected the choice, even if the double-casting is a mixed bag. Kidman is frazzled and raw in an effective way. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Rooster: Season 1 (2026) 88% EDIT “Carell is so good at playing the withdrawn and unassuming side of Greg’s personality that it’s disappointing every time the series tires of his somewhat against-type meekness and turns him into a bumbling sitcom lead.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Young Sherlock: Season 1 (2026) 84% EDIT “If television shows could be slapped and I were the type of person who slapped people or television shows, I would have slapped this pathetic Muppet Babies excuse for a prequel.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 5, 2026 Full Review The Gray House: Season 1 (2026) 45% EDIT “At best, it’s a dry, poorly edited, questionably acted Wikipedia entry in which most of the facts contain the qualifier, “This information cannot be verified.” At worst, it’s an accidental episode of Drunk History.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 25, 2026 Full Review Scrubs: Season 1 (2026) 89% EDIT “Whatever my complaints or disappointments, I still love Faison, Chalke and the little bit of McGinley we’re treated to. The new stars are all fine, with Morrow, Mohammadi and Dudman the standouts.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 24, 2026 Full Review How to Get to Heaven From Belfast: Season 1 (2026) 95% EDIT “Some of its tantalizing specificity may be generally lost on American viewers simply looking for a wild whodunit. But when the cast is this exceptional and the dialogue has this much manic crackle, whatever you take from the series ought to be enough.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 12, 2026 Full Review Neighbors: Season 1 (2026) 62% EDIT “Understanding is not, for the most part, what Fishman and Redford are interested in, which is why Neighbors is so thoroughly unpleasant, regardless of how simultaneously revealing it might be.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The GRAMMYs: Season 68 (2026) EDIT “So the show started with a cheerful fizzle and ended 30 minutes after it peaked, but there was ample entertainment and passion in the middle.” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 2, 2026 Full Review Memory of a Killer: Season 1 (2026) 50% EDIT “This is the sort of show that inevitably strains credulity as it goes along. If the suspension of disbelief becomes oppressive within three minutes, that’s not a story I want to invest in long-term.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Free Bert: Season 1 (2026) 67% EDIT “Although Free Bert is successful on some level, telling a neatly arced story over six half-hour episodes that resolve in a way I found strangely satisfying (still setting up a possible season two), it’s not especially funny.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!: Season 1 (2026) 100% EDIT “That Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! is funny and well-sourced and thoughtfully composed isn’t surprising, but the emotional potency perhaps is. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Beauty: Season 1 (2026) 72% EDIT “One of Murphy’s most thought-full (if not thoughtful) shows in years. It’s highly debatable how many of those thoughts are fresh or original or fully examined, but it’s a busy show that will keep many viewers occupied.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins: Season 1 (2026) 100% EDIT “Watch the pilot for the unlikely comic pairing of Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, but know that while I chuckled at the first couple of episodes, the third and fourth episodes were the ones that really made me eager to watch more.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Agatha Christie's Seven Dials: Season 1 (2026) 71% EDIT “Here, the journey isn’t necessarily thrilling, nor is it as intellectually adroit as peak Sherlock, but it’s lively and easygoing entertainment. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 15, 2026 Full Review A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Season 1 (2026) 94% EDIT “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms isn’t a big show in comparative terms, but directors Owen Harris and Sarah Adina Smith keep it from ever feeling claustrophobic. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 13, 2026 Full Review The Night Manager: Season 2 (2026) 88% EDIT “Everything in the season gets better in the second half -- especially Calva, who initially comes across as a hunky-but-wan Roper substitute but eventually turns that apparent failing into the arc of a comprehensibly vulnerable performance.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 12, 2026 Full Review Golden Globes: Season 83 (2026) 45% EDIT “For anybody looking to see a 200-minute, star-studded illustration of the “This Is Fine” meme as presented by CBS, the self-appointed broadcasting embodiment of the “This Is Fine” meme, look no further.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 12, 2026 Full Review His & Hers: Season 1 (2026) 70% EDIT “That Thompson and Bernthal do not, in any way, interact like characters who have a long and difficult past together is more a fault of writing than performance. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 8, 2026 Full Review
