Succession: Season 3 (2021) 97% EDIT “Succession still offers immersive escapism, to be sure... But at a certain point, I felt my attention starting to flag. Haven't we been through all this before? Is this still fun?” – The Week Oct 19, 2021 Full Review The Problem With Jon Stewart: Season 1 (2021) 71% EDIT “Jon Stewart's new show didn't make me laugh. It made me cry.” – The Week Sep 30, 2021 Full Review Emmys: Season 73 (2021) 24% EDIT “No comedy would have been better than comedy this bad. Amy Poehler was all of us when she quipped toward the end of the three-hour slog, "What time is it, and how do we get out of here?"” – The Week Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Ted Lasso: Season 2 (2021) 98% EDIT “In watching Ted Lasso with the baggage of my own expectations, only to have my cynicism repeatedly thwarted, there is something that grows a little bit in me, too.” – The Week Jul 23, 2021 Full Review Kevin Can F**k Himself: Season 1 (2021) 82% EDIT “Kevin Can F**k Himself goes about its mission with such skill that you might not even realize that it's wrecking your favorite sitcoms in the process.” – The Week Jun 11, 2021 Full Review The Bachelorette: Season 17 (2021) EDIT “In Monday night's premiere, Katie's season really did feel like watching a whole new Bachelorette -- one that was all-around kinder, less judgmental, and more in touch with the times.” – The Week Jun 9, 2021 Full Review The Underground Railroad: Season 1 (2021) 95% EDIT “Though what Jenkins has made certainly isn't a movie, he has broken open the expectations of TV -- an experiment that isn't always successful but results in something not quite like anything you've seen before.” – The Week May 15, 2021 Full Review The Academy Awards: Season 93 (2021) 24% EDIT “The debacle represents more than just the heights of miscalculation. Any way you look at it, the move was horribly unfair to the Best Picture winner.” – The Week Apr 26, 2021 Full Review Shadow and Bone: Season 1 (2021) 89% EDIT “That the casting is so intuitive and flawless is part of why the show will be a hit. Fans can fall in love with Li and Barnes and Renaux, but also the minor characters, who deserve at least as much attention.” – The Week Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Rutherford Falls: Season 1 (2021) 92% EDIT “Rutherford Falls' best feature of all, though, might be its big heart. I was reminded throughout of my experience watching Ted Lasso, one of the tenderest television shows I've ever seen.” – The Week Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Mare of Easttown: Season 1 (2021) 95% EDIT “It's both moody and atmospheric like the slow-burning Top of the Lake or True Detective, while being as propulsive as a Dan Brown paperback. By taking the best elements of both and dumping the rest, Mare of Easttown is unstoppable.” – The Week Apr 19, 2021 Full Review The Nevers: Season 1 (2021) 47% EDIT “The world still feels under construction and confused about what its purpose is, something that feels indicative of the lack of a consistent architect throughout.” – The Week Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Genera+ion: Season 1 (2021) 75% EDIT “Watching it, I felt about as old as the dinosaurs... But even as a relic from the Late Cretaceous period, of this I'm sure: kids these days are, most assuredly, alright.” – The Week Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Walker: Season 1 (2021) 35% EDIT “Despite being an incredibly unlikely candidate, the CW's reboot, Walker, actually manages to chart an imperfect -- but promising -- road forward for what cop shows might look like in a post-Black Lives Matter, post-#AbolishICE America.” – The Week Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Couples Therapy: Season 1 (2019) 100% EDIT “The special uses four couples to offer surprisingly insightful generalizations about human relationships: our difficulty articulating our vulnerabilities, and our defensiveness or resistance when hearing them expressed by others.” – The Week Dec 14, 2020 Full Review Social Distance: Season 1 (2020) 58% EDIT “Because the show rarely oversteps the limitations of its own format, Social Distance is able to speak our language without feeling like it's lecturing us about the moment we're all still sorting through.” – The Week Oct 16, 2020 Full Review The Haunting of Bly Manor: Season 1 (2020) 88% EDIT “It's all so by-the-numbers that it induces more yawns than chills.” – The Week Oct 12, 2020 Full Review The Good Lord Bird: Season 1 (2020) 98% EDIT “For telling a tale as sad as the story of America and its original sin, The Good Lord Bird takes a page from Twain: it copes with laughter.” – The Week Oct 8, 2020 Full Review The Comey Rule: Season 1 (2020) 66% EDIT “The painstaking exercise is undertaken in pursuit of an answer to a question... Was James Comey a good person? But by making that its focus, The Comey Rule completely whiffs on the greater point.” – The Week Sep 29, 2020 Full Review Lovecraft Country: Season 1 (2020) 88% EDIT “Rather than be precise in its refutation of the legacy of Lovecraft, Lovecraft Country only takes the broadest possible swipes at the monster of racism, leaving the show feeling oddly one-note and shallow.” – The Week Aug 17, 2020 Full Review The Not-Too-Late Show With Elmo: Season 1 (2020) 81% EDIT “Not Too Late's charmingly original concept will inevitably inspire imitators, as the classic series did all those decades ago - a late show for kids is just too much fun to pass up. So for the time being, don't.” – The Week May 27, 2020 Full Review The Great: Season 1 (2020) 90% EDIT “On the whole, The Great is a delightful, breezy retelling of Catherine's story, which makes the stale tropes about her transformation all the more exhausting.” – The Week May 15, 2020 Full Review Normal People: Season 1 (2020) 91% EDIT “It is the very ordinariness of Normal People, though, that makes it an unmissable small screen treasure, an achingly everyday love story in which we might find, reflected, pieces of our own.” – The Week Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Mrs. America: Season 1 (2020) 96% EDIT “To its credit, Mrs. America circumvents the seductively easy narrative about powerful women at each other's throats for a more nuanced one that pits their ideas and organizing strategies against each other, with illuminating results.” – The Week Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Killing Eve: Season 3 (2020) 79% EDIT “It is darker, more brutal, and in many ways more mature... The result is less fun, more human and raw. And it will be up to you if that's a trade-off you're willing to accept.” – The Week Apr 10, 2020 Full Review
