The White Lotus: Season 3, Episode 8 (2025) EDIT “If the finale had stopped trying to do so much, perhaps it could have actually given us some emotional satisfaction.” – The Atlantic Apr 10, 2025 Full Review The White Lotus: Season 3, Episode 1 (2025) EDIT “What makes The White Lotus often satisfying to watch is how the show challenges these characters, however briefly, to confront the assumptions they've built their life on. ” – The Atlantic Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Mo: Season 2 (2025) 96% EDIT “One of the delights of watching Mo is how clearly the series engages with all of its characters’ complexities -- Palestinians, the show’s blundering protagonist included, don’t have to be perfect to hold our attention.” – The Atlantic Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 11 (2025) EDIT “Not only did Chappelle demonstrate an interest in unity, but he also offered viewers an unexpected and sincere-sounding plea for compassion.” – The Atlantic Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Abbott Elementary: Season 4, Episode 9 (2025) EDIT “The unexpected dose of cynicism gives Abbott’s formula an intriguing mid-season shake-up -- a nice wrinkle, considering how many network sitcoms begin to feel repetitive the longer they stay on the air.” – The Atlantic Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 50, Episode 1 (2024) EDIT ““Weekend Update” best crystallized the show’s approach to satirizing our current moment: ambience-led, with doses of sharper insight when convenient. ” – The Atlantic Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Kaos: Season 1 (2024) 77% EDIT “A darkly funny, visually rich saga that highlights the enduring relevance of these moral quandaries and character studies -- without taking itself too seriously.” – The Atlantic Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Emily in Paris: Season 4 (2024) 68% EDIT “Emily in Paris isn’t equipped to offer clear-eyed analysis of the real world in bite-size releases, and that’s fine. The show can just keep doing what it does best -- filtering its home city through the rose-tinted, cat-eye glasses.” – The Atlantic Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Land of Women: Season 1 (2024) 90% EDIT “Those of us living in the real world may never experience Land of Women’s improbable utopia, but there’s still something reassuring about watching Longoria stumble into it stiletto-first.” – The Atlantic Jul 5, 2024 Full Review We Are Lady Parts: Season 2 (2024) 95% EDIT “By turns raucous and earnest, the series is unlike anything else on TV right now -- in part because it doesn’t consider representation to be a worthy end goal of its own.” – The Atlantic Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Jerrod Carmichael: Reality Show: Season 1 (2024) 95% EDIT “Publicly admitting one’s flaws isn’t inherently virtuous, and more often than not, Carmichael’s eagerness to divulge the unpalatable details of his life ends up turning the act of seeking forgiveness into voyeuristic spectacle.” – The Atlantic May 7, 2024 Full Review Murder in Boston: Roots, Rampage & Reckoning: Season 1 (2023) 100% EDIT “A worthwhile addition, largely because it resists two of the most common impulses of true-crime narratives: relishing the gory specifics of a real human being’s violent death, and spending much of its run time on the psychology of a murderer.” – The Atlantic Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Black Cake: Season 1 (2023) 89% EDIT “It still feels remarkable to watch a thoughtfully constructed drama that contemplates maternal identity through the life story of a Caribbean woman of Asian and African descent. Black Cake isn’t perfect, but it comes together beautifully.” – The Atlantic Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 49, Episode 1 (2023) EDIT “Though Davidson left the series last year after its 47th season, he ended up being the perfect host for its much-anticipated Season 49 premiere because of how deftly he navigated the tonally disparate material that the episode called for. ” – The Atlantic Oct 16, 2023 Full Review The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On: Season 2 (2023) EDIT “Too often, The Ultimatum simply touts marriage for marriage’s sake. In the process, it highlights the pitfalls of a culture -- and a show -- that’s preoccupied with the institution, to the detriment of actual relationships.” – The Atlantic Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Reservation Dogs: Season 3 (2023) 100% EDIT “As Reservation Dogs approaches its conclusion, the show’s willingness to confront all of its characters’ pasts -- and, by extension, the country’s -- still grants it a creative edge that will be worth revisiting once it’s over.” – The Atlantic Aug 31, 2023 Full Review And Just Like That...: Season 2, Episode 11 (2023) EDIT “Relationships in need of repair can’t be mended with flights, keys, or cosmopolitans alone. Sex and the City may not always have understood that, but it seems that And Just Like That might.” – The Atlantic Aug 26, 2023 Full Review Survival of the Thickest: Season 1 (2023) 86% EDIT “Though sometimes uneven, it’s a welcome new entrant among shows that follow women rebuilding their lives, and Buteau shines in the well-deserved spotlight.” – The Atlantic Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Master of None: Season 3 (2021) 82% EDIT “Master of None replicates one of the more frustrating pitfalls of breakup stories: not sufficiently showing why a couple liked each other initially, thereby weakening the blow of their parting.” – The Atlantic Jun 1, 2021 Full Review Soulmates: Season 1 (2020) 74% EDIT “Soulmates isn't exactly a cynical show. Though it's skeptical about the mythic balm of predestined romantic love, the anthology insists that the choices we make and the way we treat other people do matter.” – The Atlantic Mar 2, 2021 Full Review The Undoing: Season 1 (2020) 75% EDIT “Indeed, the show seems to relish the disorder that the Frasers cause in other people's lives, the pain they mete out. Throughout it all, the family remains static: glamorous, somehow still in control.” – The Atlantic Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Tiger: Season 1 (2021) 74% EDIT “Where Tiger differs from many sports docs, including last year's ESPN series about Jordan, is in its candid and sometimes wrenching portrayal of its subject's emotional life.” – The Atlantic Mar 2, 2021 Full Review P-Valley: Season 1 (2020) 100% EDIT “P-Valley combines the weightiness of a premium-cable show with the fun and soapiness you might expect from a BET marathon. We've come a long way from The Players Club. P-Valley's characters live rich, full lives shaped by the region they inhabit.” – The Atlantic Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Lovecraft Country: Season 1 (2020) 88% EDIT “The show inadvertently simplifies the realities of white supremacy with its monster allegory, while treating the Black cast less as characters in their own right and more as vehicles for a sweeping critique of American racism.” – The Atlantic Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Insecure: Season 4 (2020) 96% EDIT “Insecure never needed to speak for all black Millennials; this year, it proved that it's best when it just speaks for Molly and Issa.” – The Atlantic Aug 5, 2020 Full Review
