Mother Up!: Season 1 (2013) EDIT “Two episodes in and Rudi hasn't changed. Without any character development, there's no reason to watch. The jokes aren't that funny or innovative. The fish-out-of-water concept has been done before, and better, many times.” – Mashable Jun 16, 2020 Full Review High School Musical: The Musical: The Series: Season 1 (2019) 76% 8/10 EDIT “It's a breezy watch -- the half hour will fly by -- that's perfect for fans of theater, of Disney, of Zac Efron, of satire, of meta commentary, and of absurd punctuation.” – IGN Movies Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Alpha House: Season 1 (2013) 76% EDIT “It's amusing, visually appealing and has a great cast. The quality is there, though it might not be groundbreaking enough to make you cancel your Netflix subscription.” – Mashable May 17, 2019 Full Review The OA: Season 1 (2016) 76% 8.2/10 EDIT “The OA is an unnervingly realistic yet still fantastical exploration of mortality, of art, of the truth, of of reality, of survival, and most of all, of hope.” – IGN Movies May 16, 2019 Full Review The Handmaid's Tale: Season 1, Episode 10 (2017) 8.5/10 EDIT “A more hopeful ending than you would've expected from the terrifying, violent, and occasionally demoralizing first season, "Night" doesn't wrap up most storylines so much as elevate them in preparation for Season 2.” – IGN Movies Nov 4, 2017 Full Review Blood Feuds: Season 1, Episode 1 (2016) 7.6/10 EDIT “Sarandon and Lange are having a blast -- and viewers probably will, too, if they embrace the high camp factor and go along for the ride.” – IGN Movies Sep 13, 2017 Full Review Orphan Black: Season 5, Episode 10 (2017) 8.5/10 EDIT “The Orphan Black finale provided just enough closure to each of the characters we've grown to know and love while showcasing both the tense action sequences and the quiet, human moments it did equally well throughout its run.” – IGN Movies Aug 14, 2017 Full Review The Handmaid's Tale: Season 1 (2017) 94% 9.2/10 EDIT “A scary, important, and yes -- timely -- series, this faithful adaptation The Handmaid's Tale expands on a 30-year-old story to serve as a warning of sorts. Don't miss it.” – IGN Movies Apr 26, 2017 Full Review Big Little Lies: Season 1, Episode 7 (2017) 8.8/10 EDIT “Big Little Lies wrapped up its first season with a beautifully self-contained, tense, exciting story that got better and better as it went along.” – IGN Movies Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Big Little Lies: Season 1, Episode 5 (2017) 7/10 EDIT “Perhaps not the most elegant installment, but an enlightening glimpse into the lives of two women dealing with abuse nonetheless.” – IGN Movies Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Big Little Lies: Season 1, Episode 4 (2017) 6.8/10 EDIT “After three weeks of successively better and better episodes, an off week with overly obvious narration is the first less-than-excellent installment of the bunch.” – IGN Movies Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Big Little Lies: Season 1, Episode 3 (2017) 8.2/10 EDIT “Three weeks in, the layers of the story are beginning to meld together in a really gorgeous way thanks to the all-star performances at the center.” – IGN Movies Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Big Little Lies: Season 1, Episode 2 (2017) 7.3/10 EDIT “Episode two gave more context to the relationships introduced in the Big Little Lies premiere, richly expanding the world and setting the stage for bigger drama to come.” – IGN Movies Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Big Little Lies: Season 1, Episode 1 (2017) 7/10 EDIT “Thanks to its big-name stars (and their talent) and cinematic direction, Big Little Lies is intriguing enough to try out.” – IGN Movies Apr 5, 2017 Full Review Lee Daniel's Star: Season 1 (2016) 35% 6.8/10 EDIT “There's a LOT going on here, but if the grounded tone and soapy tendencies can finally gel, Star could eventually be a worthy Empire successor.” – IGN Movies Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Pure Genius: Season 1 (2016) 26% EDIT “I kept calling this Doctor Hospital Genius because much like its fully generic name, there's nothing groundbreaking happening here.” – E! Online Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Speechless: Season 1 (2016) 98% EDIT “ABC does family comedies right, and this latest slightly offbeat addition fits in well with the other lovingly quirky clans that populate the network.” – E! Online Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Conviction: Season 1 (2016) 20% EDIT “I want the very best for Hayley Atwell. This...this is not it.” – E! Online Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Fargo: Season 2 (2015) 100% EDIT “Congratulations, Fargo team! It's still incredible. No True Detective disappointment here.” – E! Online Oct 16, 2015 Full Review You're the Worst: Season 2 (2015) 97% EDIT “You'll be happy to know that the show returns in top form with the season premiere episode "The Sweater People."” – E! Online Oct 15, 2015 Full Review The New Yorker Presents: Season 1 (2016) 86% EDIT “It'll make you feel a little classier and smarter as you sit on the couch in your pajamas.” – Zap2it.com Feb 1, 2015 Full Review Ground Floor: Season 2 (2014) EDIT “Ground Floor is a perfectly pleasant, humorous live-action sitcom perfect for keeping on while you make dinner, keeping on while you fold laundry or keeping on while you scroll through social media on your phone.” – Zap2it.com Dec 9, 2014 Full Review Ben and Kate: Season 1 (2012) 73% EDIT “The family unit has great chemistry together, and we genuinely like them right away (which means we're rooting for them).” – Zap2it.com Sep 25, 2012 Full Review Partners: Season 1 (2012) 17% EDIT “It's filled with cliches, obvious jokes and seemingly canned laughter...but you'll still laugh in spite of yourself.” – Zap2it.com Sep 24, 2012 Full Review Lost Girl: Season 1 (2010) 71% EDIT “Easy to watch and incredibly addictive.” – Zap2it.com Jan 16, 2012 Full Review
