One Piece: Season 2 (2026) 100% EDIT “One Piece’s storytelling compass remains pointed in the right direction.” – Decider Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!: Season 1 (2026) 100% EDIT “The commentary by dozens of admirers and career-highlight TV and movie snippets are great of course, nostalgic but purposeful, meaningful in the context of Brooks’ life and influence on showbiz.” – Decider Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast: Season 2 (2026) EDIT “The BMF Documentary is a thorough retelling of the saga that hopefully will probe Terry Flenory about the ethics of his past deeds. ” – Decider Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Bad Guys: The Series: Season 1 (2025) EDIT “The winning Bad Guys formula keeps steady from big-screen long-form to small-screen short-form stories, assuring Breaking In’s appeal to the franchise’s formidable fanbase.” – Decider Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Mr. Scorsese: Season 1 (2025) 98% EDIT “If that isn’t a crucial insight into the man and his work, I don’t know what is, and so far Mr. Scorsese is rife with such revelations. More, please.” – Decider Oct 22, 2025 Full Review The Last Frontier: Season 1 (2025) 46% EDIT “Whether The Last Frontier can maintain this pace for the next nine hours is unlikely. But it’s a good start more than a rocky one.” – Decider Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Beauty and the Bester: Season 1 (2025) EDIT “Although Beauty and the Bester may inspire you to take notes to chart the timeline – and who doesn’t want to do that? – its story is compelling enough, and its tone respectful enough, to keep us watching. ” – Decider Sep 18, 2025 Full Review The Echoes of Survivors: Inside Korea's Tragedies: Season 1 (2025) 20% EDIT “As informative and necessary as these stories of institutional abuse of power can be, The Echoes of Survivors is far too questionable in its journalistic ethics to warrant a recommendation.” – Decider Sep 10, 2025 Full Review The Wild Ones: Season 1 (2025) EDIT “It’s fun, informative and full of terrific nature photography.” – Decider Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 8 (2025) EDIT “Par for most of the Trainwreck course, Storm Area 51 is flimsy and dissatisfying.” – Decider Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 7 (2025) EDIT “Trainwreck: P.I. Moms doesn't investigate its subject very well at all – and that's some remedial irony there, kids.” – Decider Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Leviathan: Season 1 (2025) 80% EDIT “ The popularity of Westerfeld’s work will fuel Leviathan, luring in devotees, so why stretch the boundaries of anime for an adaptation? So far, so above-average. ” – Decider Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 6 (2025) EDIT “There are definitely performances in this movie, it’s just really hard to tell who’s performing, and how much.” – Decider Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 5 (2025) EDIT “The Real Project X is informative and “entertaining” on a superficial level, but the series routinely leaves a bad taste in our mouths with its point-and-gasp/laugh methodology.” – Decider Jul 9, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 3 (2025) EDIT “Sure, there’s some guilty-pleasure comedy to be derived from Poop Cruise, but it’s ultimately a pretty cynical endeavor. ” – Decider Jun 29, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 2 (2025) EDIT “This doc slaps together some fantastical facts, calls it a day, and is woefully inexhaustive. ” – Decider Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Sara - Woman in the Shadows: Season 1 (2025) 80% EDIT “"Sara" is most alive when Gerini and Saponangelo share the screen – their line readings are charged with a rich, deep vein of subtext implying past and present tensions and alliances.” – Decider Jun 12, 2025 Full Review 90 Minutes: Season 1 (2025) EDIT “90 Minutes is thus far a fun, well-paced show.” – Decider Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight: Season 1 (2025) EDIT “I was slightly more than moderately entertained, and that seems to be the point, especially for those of us who aren’t middle-Europeans and are therefore probably missing every other joke. ” – Decider May 8, 2025 Full Review Valeria: Season 4 (2025) EDIT “It’s satisfying viewing, and pretty much guaranteed to rack up some numbers for Netflix. ” – Decider Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Cassandra: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “Cassandra’s spirited opener is entertaining, and even though it points toward more predictable plot developments, it’s still worth sticking with for another episode or two.” – Decider Feb 11, 2025 Full Review The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse: Season 2 (2024) EDIT “The series looks great, with blindingly colorful animation and enough visual hyperbole to demolish vast swaths of the universe. It’s weird and funny and pretty good at establishing a sense of stakes.” – Decider Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: Season 1 (2025) EDIT “There is certainly a fair amount of reality show fudging in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition... but the show’s emotional pull is still there, and that’s basically what they’re going for, isn’t it?” – Decider Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Sakamoto Days: Season 1 (2025) EDIT “Sakamoto Days is undeniably energetic, fast-paced, loony in tone and visually appealing. It’s also insubstantial and disappointingly formulaic.” – Decider Jan 13, 2025 Full Review My Happy Marriage: Season 2 (2025) EDIT “Sharp writing and a compelling blend of tones makes My Happy Marriage an enjoyable, slightly goofy watch.” – Decider Jan 13, 2025 Full Review
