Margo's Got Money Troubles: Season 1 (2026) 97% EDIT “...unlike so many other Hollywood takes on sex work, the show isn’t interested in presenting Margo as someone who is “other.” She’s just a relatable girl, trying to get by.” – Bloomberg News Mar 24, 2026 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1 (2025) 99% EDIT “Pluribus, though, with its sly set pieces, good sense of humor and wholly original end times...forces its viewers to genuinely consider whether giving into this new world wouldn’t be so bad.” – Bloomberg News Nov 12, 2025 Full Review Death by Lightning: Season 1 (2025) 90% EDIT “Both a timely exploration of leadership and disillusionment in the post-Civil War era and a frequently amusing character drama featuring a host of beloved actors in bushy beards. ” – New York Times Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Task: Season 1 (2025) 96% EDIT “A tragic but ultimately hopeful tale about forgiveness and redemption, one that is worth a return trip to Pennsylvania.” – New York Times Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Katrina: Come Hell and High Water: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “Often it is meant to enrage, a searing reminder of the human error, neglect and outright violence that cost so many people their lives and livelihoods.” – New York Times Aug 27, 2025 Full Review The Hunting Wives: Season 1 (2025) 81% EDIT “Akerman’s performance makes the case that hypocrisy can be liberating. Like Snow’s wide-eyed Sophie, you’ll have trouble resisting her charms.” – New York Times Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Your Friends & Neighbors: Season 1 (2025) 79% EDIT “It’s frustrating. Your Friends & Neighbors was never going to be groundbreaking, but it might have been a good time.” – Bloomberg News Jun 24, 2025 Full Review The Studio: Season 1 (2025) 92% EDIT “The question is: Will anyone outside the industry care? I’m biased, but I think so. That’s because the creators have figured out a way to mix their satire with a snappy, broadly appealing energy centered around physical comedy and antic setpieces.” – Bloomberg News Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Adults: Season 1 (2025) 74% EDIT “While it seems unlikely to become a generation-defining sensation, once “Adults” finds its groove, it is perfectly diverting TV.” – New York Times May 28, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 19 (2025) EDIT “Brunson proved herself remarkably versatile throughout the episode, playing dissimilar roles such as a horny grandmother and a woman who challenged a gorilla to a fight. ” – The Atlantic May 5, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 18 (2025) EDIT “SNL can get a lot of mileage out of mocking Trump’s White House, but the sketch was a reminder that interpreting a big political story by way of a weekly grocery list makes it terrifyingly real.” – The Atlantic Apr 15, 2025 Full Review #1 Happy Family USA: Season 1 (2025) 96% EDIT “ It encourages viewers to find humor and humanity in outlandish scenarios stemming from what was a dark period for many American families.” – New York Times Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 17 (2025) EDIT “Last night’s episode had a shaggier, looser vibe. Credit that to the host, Jack Black, and, in a surprise twist, last week’s musical guest, Morgan Wallen.” – The Atlantic Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 15 (2025) EDIT “These acts were mesmerizing displays of Gaga committing to the eccentric. But the artist’s talent for the absurd translated to this week’s comedy too.” – The Atlantic Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 14 (2025) EDIT “Gillis is playing a part. His happens to be that of the boorish, conservative-leaning white dude. But his monologue fell flat because even when he pretends knowingness, his jokes are ultimately directed to other boorish, conservative-leaning white dudes. ” – The Atlantic Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 12 (2025) EDIT “Not only did he pay respect to Dylan; he made clear that he can put on a show that’s all his own.” – The Atlantic Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Prime Target: Season 1 (2025) 43% EDIT “A show about smart people that still allows you to turn down your brain and have a good time.” – New York Times Jan 24, 2025 Full Review The Day of the Jackal: Season 1 (2024) 85% EDIT “If Redmayne’s portrayal of the Jackal is steeped in mystery, Lynch’s take on Bianca is a stirring mix of impulsivity and cunning. They are the twin engines propelling the plot.” – New York Times Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 7 (2024) EDIT “Although the British pop star started with a fairly stilted, brat-focused monologue -- “it’s an attitude; it’s a vibe,” she explained -- she proved herself more than game to shed the aesthetic in sketches.” – The Atlantic Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Alan Cumming's Paradise Homes: Season 1 (2024) EDIT “Still, as is the case with most shows like this, the entertainment value varies based on who is living in the homes. The best subjects have the most curious houses...” – New York Times Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 4 (2024) EDIT “The opening was a good example of Keaton’s gift for turning on his weirdness when the situation requires it, a trait he would trot out as the night went on.” – The Atlantic Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 3 (2024) EDIT “Every time Grande opened her mouth, a carefully crafted sound came out. Most of the time it was beautiful, but she understood the sketch was sometimes funnier when she sang terribly.” – The Atlantic Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Agatha All Along: Season 1 (2024) 84% EDIT “Agatha All Along should be a swell, silly time. That said, the emotional stakes so far feel remarkably thin.” – Bloomberg News Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Terminator Zero: Season 1 (2024) 87% EDIT “Through a mixture of stunning animation, extravagantly bloody action and heady philosophical questions, "Terminator Zero" breathes new life into a franchise that has often seemed stuck in a time loop of its own.” – New York Times Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Only Murders in the Building: Season 4 (2024) 93% EDIT ““Only Murders” has become comforting in its rhythms. The writers have a working formula, and they use that formula well.” – New York Times Aug 28, 2024 Full Review
