Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Season 1 (2026) 88% EDIT “A promising collection of characters and storylines just setting the table for future achievement, not quite ready to prove its value beyond the legends of Kirk and Spock.” – NPR Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Stranger Things: Season 5 (2025) 83% EDIT “The Duffers are so skilled at keeping the plot hurtling along that many may not notice how much these new dangers feel like old storylines.” – NPR Nov 27, 2025 Full Review Billy Joel: And So It Goes: Season 1 (2025) 92% EDIT “An important reassessment of an artist often given short shrift by music critics during his big pop successes.” – NPR Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Squid Game: Season 3 (2025) 78% EDIT “We have seen versions of this story before. And that familiarity robs the narrative of its impact -- particularly when the show so often telegraphs what is coming for viewers well before it finally happens.” – NPR Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Adolescence: Season 1 (2025) 97% EDIT “It's the exploration of toxic incel culture and its effect on young men that makes the series a relevant, spellbinding exploration of a pressing moment in modern society.” – NPR Jun 7, 2025 Full Review The Studio: Season 1 (2025) 92% EDIT “Feels like the culmination of everything Rogen has endured in a career ranging from writing for The Simpsons to co-directing a movie that sparked threats of war from the North Korean government.” – NPR Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Hacks: Season 4 (2025) 98% EDIT “Hacks is compelling and insightful when focused on its core story: the bizarre friendship/enemyship/working relationship between Vance and her talented head writer, Hannah Einbinder's Ava Daniels.” – NPR Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Your Friends & Neighbors: Season 1 (2025) 79% EDIT “Ultimately, when the story unfolds to reveal characters with complex motivations and few clear-cut villains, the narrative gains the most steam.” – NPR Jun 7, 2025 Full Review The Residence: Season 1 (2025) 84% EDIT “A superior, genre-blending TV experience.” – NPR Jun 7, 2025 Full Review MobLand: Season 1 (2025) 76% EDIT “This isn't a perfect crime drama... But the overly convoluted plot is spiced by glorious, scenery-chewing performances from Pierce Brosnan, as the family's profane, brogue-spewing patriarch Conrad Harrigan, and Helen Mirren.” – NPR Jun 7, 2025 Full Review On Call: Season 1 (2025) 55% EDIT “Perhaps the most creatively ambitious project Law & Order creator Dick Wolf's production company Wolf Entertainment has tackled in a while.” – NPR Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Couples Therapy: Season 4 (2024) EDIT “If you've been through a divorce, as I have, watching bickering couples in classic conflict cycles may be a little triggering. Still worth it.” – NPR Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Nine Perfect Strangers: Season 2 (2025) 46% EDIT “Backed by an ensemble including Mark Strong, Christine Baranski and Murray Bartlett, it's an interesting ride that balances the dramatic and bizarre in compelling ways.” – NPR Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Pee-wee as Himself: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “In the end, Pee-wee as Himself offers a touching portrait of an artist who rarely revealed himself publicly -- in the process, explaining why sharing his personal story was so difficult in the first place.” – NPR Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Murderbot: Season 1 (2025) 95% EDIT “Murderbot is the latest example of a trend I've noticed on streaming TV -- exquisitely produced science fiction and fantasy shows that may not be seen outside of a small-yet-passionate fanbase.” – NPR May 13, 2025 Full Review The Four Seasons: Season 1 (2025) 78% EDIT “A series that is both a touching tribute and knowing update -- a meditation on the value of grown-up relationships that is a wonderful antidote to the isolated age we live in.” – NPR May 2, 2025 Full Review Étoile: Season 1 (2025) 86% EDIT “The result is a stylish, if self-important look at an industry on the ropes, led by people who have serious trouble admitting just how deep their problems go.” – NPR May 1, 2025 Full Review You: Season 5 (2025) 79% EDIT “This show always offers compelling twists, lending a few surprises to a storyline which is otherwise kind of predictable and a little overwrought -- to say nothing of the whole "making viewers root for a serial killer" thing.” – NPR May 1, 2025 Full Review Andor: Season 2 (2025) 97% EDIT “Fans of Andor who have also seen Rogue One know that many of the characters here will eventually meet terrible ends. But seeing the choices that led them there is the secret sauce which really makes Andor a thrilling watch.” – NPR May 1, 2025 Full Review Ransom Canyon: Season 1 (2025) 45% EDIT “It's a western-flavored mash up of predictable dramatics that makes [Taylor] Sheridan's work look like Shakespeare.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Government Cheese: Season 1 (2025) 73% EDIT “There are many times when this drama isn't sure what kind of story it wants to tell. But when it lets Oyelowo do his thing -- backed by ace supporting actors like Bokeem Woodbine and Simone Missick -- it's a fun ride.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Rehearsal: Season 2 (2025) 98% EDIT “As always with Fielder, it's tough to know what is real and what is contrived in his shows... Still, if his thesis is right, it seems like there should be more people trying to solve this problem than one brilliant satirist working for HBO.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Dark Money Game: Season 1 (2025) EDIT “Gibney's films offer a potent argument tracing the problem to an avalanche of dark money easily hidden from the public's view.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 2 (2025) 92% EDIT “The show's producers seem to delight in presenting situations which look like one thing, only to shift the dynamic as circumstances change and new facts emerge, like turning a crystal in a shaft of light.” – NPR Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Everybody's Live with John Mulaney: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “Instead of lending an air of danger or anything-can-happen excitement, the show's live element just added an overarching pressure which seemed to stifle the proceedings rather than elevate them.” – NPR Mar 13, 2025 Full Review
