Stranger Things: Season 5 (2025) 83% EDIT “It is, after all, the kids at the center of the story that kept us coming back for more. And it appears they’ll continue to do so, right up to the end.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 27, 2025 Full Review Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy: Season 1 (2025) 96% EDIT “It tells a compelling story about one of the darkest chapters in America’s crime archives.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Murdaugh: Death in the Family: Season 1 (2025) 69% EDIT “Clarke and Arquette are a dynamic pair, portraying the dysfunction and denial that led to the tragic slayings.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Wednesday: Season 2 (2025) 87% EDIT “It’s really the performances, casting and artistic flourishes that make “Wednesday” a ghoulish delight. ” – Los Angeles Times Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Severance: Season 2 (2025) 94% EDIT “Its 10 episodes pack sci-fi creepiness, wry social commentary and black humor inside of a tightly constructed story that’s substantive and thrilling.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story: Season 1 (2023) 94% EDIT “Expands upon the charm of Season 1 of “Bridgerton,” and makes up for the meh of Season 2, with a strong cast, fresh storyline and, most importantly, a new complexity and depth. ” – Los Angeles Times Mar 18, 2025 Full Review The GRAMMYs: Season 66 (2024) 60% EDIT “For the most part, though, the ceremony failed to communicate the same exhilarating picture of music's future as the varied crop of nominees.” – Los Angeles Times Feb 5, 2024 Full Review Gen V: Season 1 (2023) 97% EDIT “Stands on its own as a sharp, snarky commentary on the billion-dollar business of hero worship. And yes, it’s just as irreverent and crass as its fearless predecessor.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 5, 2023 Full Review The Other Black Girl: Season 1 (2023) 86% EDIT “The Other Black Girl turns injustice into an engrossing series by employing humor, heart and imaginary twists. ” – Los Angeles Times Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Based on a True Story: Season 1 (2023) 74% EDIT “This series stands on its own as a hilarious indictment of the public’s preoccupation with morbid crime and the media’s fire hose of content in service of that addiction.” – Los Angeles Times Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Platonic: Season 1 (2023) 93% EDIT “Platonic is a middling comedy with plenty of the same gags you’ve seen before.” – Los Angeles Times May 25, 2023 Full Review Dead Ringers: Season 1 (2023) 85% EDIT “The drama and power plays between the twins sweeps all this realism into a twisty, unsettling narrative that’s at once darkly entertaining and dangerously unpredictable. Dead Ringers is must-see TV, even when it’s hard to watch.” – Los Angeles Times Apr 21, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1, Episode 9 (2023) EDIT “This may sound ridiculous given the propensity of streamers to stretch a two-hour story into a 10-part saga, but “The Last of Us” is the exceptional production that needed more room to land.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Hello Tomorrow!: Season 1 (2023) 54% EDIT “Too bad the storytelling in this highly stylized, half-hour dramedy doesn’t aim as high as its ambitious characters.” – Los Angeles Times Feb 17, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 (2023) 96% EDIT “Like the 2013 game on which it’s based, the television adaptation is such a gripping tale of survival because it makes ample room for savagery and love, desperation and selflessness.” – Los Angeles Times Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Golden Globes: Season 80 (2023) 61% EDIT “Hollywood, brace yourself. The Golden Globes are back.” – Los Angeles Times Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Welcome to Chippendales: Season 1 (2022) 71% EDIT “A multifaceted and highly entertaining look at the unlikely story of Chippendales’ founder — and the tragedy of his success.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 22, 2022 Full Review The English: Season 1 (2022) 84% EDIT “Unfortunately [the cast's] talent is not enough to save this miniseries from its overwhelming obsession with the myths that make the Old West a violent playground for the imagination.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 12, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 10 (2022) EDIT ““The Black Queen” soared more than it idled, and offered a cliffhanger with just enough conflict, dragons and palace intrigue to keep audiences hooked.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 24, 2022 Full Review The Peripheral: Season 1 (2022) 79% EDIT “Complex thought is mistaken for compelling storytelling in the technological dystopia of “The Peripheral,” Prime Video’s sci-fi drama about, well … I’m still trying to figure it out.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 21, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 8 (2022) EDIT “Despite its shaky start... Sunday night’s installment of “House of the Dragon” evolved into the prequel’s most consequential and game-changing episode to date.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 10, 2022 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 48, Episode 1 (2022) EDIT “It was middling, which is perhaps the worst place to be for a series whose writing, particularly its political satire, hasn’t popped in some time.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 2, 2022 Full Review Reboot: Season 1 (2022) 84% EDIT “A fun, clever and self-deprecating sendup of an unimaginative, reboot-obsessed television industry, mining rich material from the generation gap between old-school boomer humor and fussy cancel culture.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 21, 2022 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 1, Episode 4 (2022) EDIT “It’s a franchise renowned for obliterating fans’ expectations for their favorite characters. But for now, “House of the Dragon” has artfully set two excellent series apart by empowering a young princess.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 12, 2022 Full Review American Gigolo: Season 1 (2022) 37% EDIT “The “American Gigolo” of 2022 holds its own as an engrossing murder mystery that plays out across present-day Los Angeles and over a series of flashbacks to the late 1990s and early 2000s.” – Los Angeles Times Sep 9, 2022 Full Review
