The Comeback: Season 3 (2026) 97% EDIT “For its first two seasons, the show was a Cassandra, anticipating the future with dread. Now, having seen that future come to pass, Valerie Cherish looks back and finds, somehow, a lot to love in what she has endured.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Boots: Season 1 (2025) 90% EDIT “I’m sure the discipline of training works for some people’s psychology, but Cope is so naïve and the show is so unwilling to build toward a larger critique that Boots comes off as propaganda. ” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 20, 2025 Full Review House of Guinness: Season 1 (2025) 90% EDIT “Knight knows how to pace a show, and House of Guinness is immensely watchable from scene to scene, most of which are launched from one to the other by means of a bit of contemporary rock music. ” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 25, 2025 Full Review The Morning Show: Season 4 (2025) 72% EDIT “The show is ludicrous, but our own reality is equally, if differently, ludicrous, and I can’t help but find The Morning Show’s depiction of the twilight of television news compulsively watchable.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Carême: Season 1 (2025) 95% EDIT “For light fare — an amuse-bouche, essentially — Carême gets the job done. ” – New York Magazine/Vulture May 12, 2025 Full Review Étoile: Season 1 (2025) 86% EDIT “Étoile satirizes the current economics of ballet and the silliness of the people in charge. ” – New York Magazine/Vulture Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Apple Cider Vinegar: Season 1 (2025) 84% EDIT “The dialogue favors over-explanation, as if designed to be understood by someone who is also paying attention to another screen.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Prime Target: Season 1 (2025) 43% EDIT “The twists and turns of Prime Target defy explanation yet are delightful to unspool.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jan 24, 2025 Full Review The Franchise: Season 1 (2024) 73% EDIT “The comedy grows into itself when it’s not sneering at the bad system and instead becomes a good hang with kooky characters stuck in that bad system.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Elsbeth: Season 1 (2024) 92% EDIT “There’s a place for rich, haunting serialized drama when it’s done well, but there’s also a place for spritely, well-written, and entertaining case-of-the-week dramas.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Feud: Season 2 (2024) 78% EDIT “There’s a feast to be had in the chaos of Capote’s life, but Feud served chicken hash.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Feb 1, 2024 Full Review The Crown: Season 6 (2023) 55% EDIT “What happens behind closed doors? The best you could hope for, says The Crown, as it locks them shut.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Fellow Travelers: Season 1 (2023) 90% EDIT “Sure, it’s worthwhile to talk about the horrors of the epidemic, the government’s failure to intervene, and how closeted gay men in politics were culpable, but the pile-up of good intentions overwhelms the characters’ sense of humanity.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 27, 2023 Full Review Frasier: Season 1 (2023) 61% EDIT “It’s odd to see how much effort Grammer has put in to make this revival happen, only for it to come across as a cautious, defensive maneuver. All that effort just to bring back this?” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 9, 2023 Full Review The Morning Show: Season 3 (2023) 75% EDIT “If you’ve ever wondered how a TV show might keep moving forward after sending a main character careening to his death off the side of a winding road in Northern Italy, The Morning Show is here with an exciting and innovative answer...” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 13, 2023 Full Review And Just Like That...: Season 2 (2023) 63% EDIT “And Just Like That … is mesmerizing in that wobbliness. Watch one episode and the show seems like it’s collapsing. Watch another and it looks as if it’s about to right itself.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Love, Victor: Season 2 (2021) 100% EDIT “It's a smart, believable paradox of parental acceptance.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 2 (2014) 100% EDIT “All the evidence points to another strong year.” – Entertainment Weekly Jan 9, 2019 Full Review EDIT “Like any good teen drama, Skam features a lot of partying, drinking, and hooking up. But series creator Julie Andem digs beneath the gilded surface with meticulous observations about teenage life.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Nov 6, 2018 Full Review Chewing Gum: Season 1 (2015) 100% EDIT “In a time where it seems as if there is too much TV, somehow there simply aren't enough shows like Chewing Gum.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Nov 1, 2017 Full Review The Good Doctor: Season 1 (2017) 63% EDIT “The Good Doctor is a wild TV show. It's both conventional and predictable and somehow willfully free of any obligation to realism. It's the ultimate comfort TV, and I'm here to explain the joy of it to you.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Riverdale: Season 2 (2017) 88% EDIT “The plot, much like cold maple syrup, thickens!” – New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Empire: Season 1, Episode 11 (2015) EDIT “Over the course of two hours, Empire proved it was more interested in spectacle than in coherence, and that, in some sense, it's all the better for it.” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 19, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 1, Episode 12 (2015) EDIT “In its best moments, Empire's finale let the two impulses at its core ram against each other. It was big and profound and about the danger of trying to be both big and profound.” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 19, 2015 Full Review Empire: Season 1, Episode 10 (2015) EDIT “"Sins of the Father" is as much an adrenaline-filled thrill ride-like any Empire episode-as it is a takedown of the patriarchy, a big middle finger to the powerful men like Lucious who see everyone else's work as secondary to their own.” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 12, 2015 Full Review
