3 Body Problem: Season 1 (2024) 78% EDIT “It really helps that Netflix didn’t skimp on 3 Body Problem, which, for all its character drama, goes big when it needs to go big.” – Polygon Mar 9, 2024 Full Review The Book of Boba Fett: Season 1, Episode 5 (2022) EDIT “The episode has nothing to do with the show that surrounds it. But it's a total thrill, and feels like a definitive moment of New Star Wars eclipsing Old Star Wars to save the franchise's worthy pieces” – Polygon Jan 26, 2022 Full Review The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Season 1 (2021) 85% EDIT “What's more frustrating at this point is, despite everything raised in the series so far, the emphasis of the show always leads back to the ethical dilemma about how we fight instead of who we fight for.” – Polygon Apr 12, 2021 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1 (2021) 92% EDIT “WandaVision is WandaVision, and if you can watch it for what it is, it's satisfying television.” – Polygon Jan 14, 2021 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 2, Episode 8 (2020) EDIT “Favreau got us to fall in love with brand new Star Wars characters. That was the magic of Star Wars recaptured in modern times. Director Peyton Reed brings so much of that to "The Rescue."” – Polygon Dec 18, 2020 Full Review How to With John Wilson: Season 1 (2020) 100% EDIT “Six episodes in and already the greatest TV show about New York City ever (apologies to Seinfeld).” – Polygon Dec 1, 2020 Full Review The Haunting of Bly Manor: Season 1 (2020) 88% EDIT “It's another creepy, stirring, yet meditative success.” – Polygon Oct 14, 2020 Full Review The Boys: Season 2 (2020) 97% EDIT “The show is a juggling act, and a miracle one, and somehow season 2 is even better than the first.” – Polygon Sep 3, 2020 Full Review EDIT “One episode of Jeopardy! in the evening is like kicking back with the crossword puzzle.” – Polygon Aug 28, 2020 Full Review Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge: Season 1 (2020) EDIT “I watched the first two episodes of Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge. I spent every second of it seething and shrieking with joy.” – Polygon Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Westworld: Season 3 (2020) 73% EDIT “I'm still on the edge of my seat waiting for one more twist.” – Polygon May 4, 2020 Full Review American Masters: Season 27, Episode 3 (2013) EDIT “The most revelatory reveal: Six decades after breaking into the business, Brooks doesn't appear to have lost a single drop of wit.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Apr 29, 2020 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 1, Episode 1 (2019) EDIT “Everything before the reveal promises a lean Western series carried by a hero who'll always save the day. As history proves, that's the basis for pure entertainment, and it's a promise the show should keep.” – Polygon Nov 12, 2019 Full Review Into the Badlands: Season 1 (2015) 64% EDIT “In the grand tradition of the Shaw Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, and The Raid, Into the Badlands prioritizes the fights. If you can keep up with the bizarre plotting, it'll only ramp up in episode two. Yes, it gets gnarlier.” – Thrillist Mar 29, 2019 Full Review The Adventures of Tintin: Season 1 (1991) 89% EDIT “Aside from some of the less-than-PC characterizations of international characters drawn from Hergé's original work, The Adventures of Tintin is one of those rare, action-packed shows that is fitting for any age.” – Hollywood.com Feb 26, 2019 Full Review The Last Man on Earth: Season 1 (2015) 84% EDIT “As the show makes hysterically clear, if the weight of the world falls on a 21st century man's shoulders, the slovenly, lazy, daydreaming animal inside is quick to emerge.” – Esquire Magazine Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Mad Men: Season 7 (2014) 90% EDIT “Mad Men smashes history, desires, dreams, and life's mundanity together like Douglas Sirk's Large Hadron Collider. It's a classic.” – Esquire Magazine Oct 19, 2018 Full Review The Legend of Korra: Season 2 (2013) 67% EDIT “It's a challenge to give animated characters weight, let alone the scale of skyscraper-sized Kaiju fighters, but [Book 2] pulls it off.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Sep 21, 2018 Full Review The Legend of Korra: Season 4 (2014) 100% EDIT “[Book Four] eases us back to life with old friends. Knowing that the core characters' emotional lives continued forward is the real joy.” – ScreenCrush Sep 21, 2018 Full Review The Legend of Korra: Season 3 (2014) 100% EDIT “Book 1 ended with a tearful triumph. Book 2 raised a giant question mark. Book 3 trickles off with bittersweet elegance.” – ScreenCrush Sep 21, 2018 Full Review Marvel's Daredevil: Season 1 (2015) 99% EDIT “Charlie Cox is the reason to watch Daredevil... The actor adds a new flavor to the MCU: calm, cool, and collected.” – Esquire Magazine Jul 13, 2018 Full Review X-Men: Season 1 (1992) 100% EDIT “An X-Men TV show could have tossed the dramatic underpinnings of the comics to the wayside in favor of superpowered action. Instead, it found a way to mesh them together.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jul 5, 2018 Full Review X-Men: Season 3 (1994) 100% EDIT “We didn't know it at the time, but X-Men was subtly preparing us for the dense, episodic storytelling of modern television.” – New York Magazine/Vulture Jul 5, 2018 Full Review Falling Skies: Season 2 (2012) 81% EDIT “More often than not it's using its strong cast, special effects and strong direction to deliver on engaging, novelistic storytelling.” – Hollywood.com May 22, 2018 Full Review
