The Madison: Season 1 (2026) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “There’s not much plot, and what little there is we’re forbidden to discuss, so let’s just say if you’re looking for a solid tearjerking catharsis, you might find it here.” – TV Insider Mar 17, 2026 Full Review RoboCop: Season 1 (1994) 76% 3/4 EDIT “RoboCop's a good guy. RoboCop's a good show.” – USA Today Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Scarpetta: Season 1 (2026) 60% 2/5 EDIT “If Scarpetta returns for a second season, I hope it can benefit from this critical autopsy, with one key recommendation: Simplify.” – TV Insider Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Marshals: Season 1 (2026) 44% 2.5/5 EDIT “With the taciturn Kayce at center stage, that most melancholy of cowboys (for good reason), Marshals is for all of its action a more muted affair, with everyone on Cal’s team underplaying to a fault. ” – TV Insider Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Paradise: Season 2 (2026) 91% 5/5 EDIT “Put aside any fears of a sophomore slump. Think second-year sensation, as Hulu’s post-apocalyptic Paradise exceeds expectations with a surprising, emotionally exciting, and robustly suspenseful new chapter. ” – TV Insider Feb 23, 2026 Full Review The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins: Season 1 (2026) 100% 3/5 EDIT “From the footage we’ve seen so far, "The Fall and Rise" would be lucky to earn a time slot on TLC. But just as in 30 Rock, it’s the gags that keep us coming back. And Reggie is full of them.” – TV Insider Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Scrubs: Season 1 (2026) 89% 3.5/5 EDIT “Bottom line: If you liked Scrubs then, you’ll almost certainly like it now. And if you’re new to the party, you’re in for a treat. Say “ah,” then “awww,” then smile.” – TV Insider Feb 19, 2026 Full Review Love Story: Season 1 (2026) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Love Story is at its fascinating best when giving us an inside look at this rarified bubble of privilege from the perspective of an overwhelmed outsider. ” – TV Insider Feb 12, 2026 Full Review The Beauty: Season 1 (2026) 72% 3/5 EDIT “The Beauty is about as subtle as a root canal without Novocain, but thankfully it’s a lot more fun. If you can stomach it.” – TV Insider Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Season 1 (2026) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “Splendidly produced as are most things in the Trek universe, "Academy" may not jump to the head of its class, but neither is it an epic fail. There are many worse ways to spend one’s recess from reality.” – TV Insider Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The Pitt: Season 2 (2026) 99% 5/5 EDIT “With humor and pathos underscoring the constant panic and grief, The Pitt is anything but the pits.” – TV Insider Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Words + Music: Season 1 (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “These musical journeys are highly recommended.” – TV Insider Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Stranger Things: Season 5 (2025) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “Part One of Stranger Things 5 is pretty much a thrill ride start to finish.” – TV Insider Nov 27, 2025 Full Review The American Revolution: Season 1 (2025) 96% 5/5 EDIT “The American Revolution achieves that goal [of making the history both exciting and real] brilliantly, sidestepping romanticism of the period and stripping away myth with a grounding in granular reality. ” – TV Insider Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1 (2025) 99% 5/5 EDIT “From episode to episode I had no idea where the story would veer, which makes the ride even more exciting. The unpredictability is thrilling, and thanks to Seehorn’s bravura performance, the fascination never ebbs.” – TV Insider Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Heartbeat: Season 1 (2016) 16% EDIT “Mawkishly manipulative when it isn't being annoyingly self-satisfied, Heartbeat works off an overused prescription pad of familiar plot devices.” – TV Insider Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Talamasca: The Secret Order: Season 1 (2025) 61% EDIT “The revelations and twists in Talamasca will likely leave the ardent Rice fan wanting more. And screaming for more Jasper. Vampires really do have more fun in the world of Anne Rice.” – TV Insider Oct 30, 2025 Full Review IT: Welcome to Derry: Season 1 (2025) 80% EDIT “For those who can’t get enough of this sort of gleefully gory monster mash, this will be the “it” show of the season, perfectly timed for the week leading to Halloween.” – TV Insider Oct 30, 2025 Full Review The Diplomat: Season 3 (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “The third season of The Diplomat is the very definition of a breakneck binge bonanza. It’s also the most sensationally entertaining political drama since The West Wing.” – TV Insider Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Chad Powers: Season 1 (2025) 59% 4/5 EDIT “A deliriously improbable and mostly delightful six-episode farce, starring Hit Man chameleon Glen Powell.” – TV Insider Sep 29, 2025 Full Review The Lowdown: Season 1 (2025) 98% 4.5/5 EDIT “Here’s the lowdown: Hawke’s a hoot, and The Lowdown is a must.” – TV Insider Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Black Rabbit: Season 1 (2025) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “Blood is thicker than logic in this melodrama.” – TV Insider Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Emmys: Season 77 (2025) 33% EDIT “There was a sense that for all of the ribbing, this Emmys broadcast was a pleasurable celebration of an ever-evolving medium.” – TV Insider Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Task: Season 1 (2025) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Though it can sometimes feel like a task to keep returning to this downbeat world, Task rewards the viewer with emotional payoffs that are as likely to lift as break the heart.” – TV Insider Sep 6, 2025 Full Review The Paper: Season 1 (2025) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Paper hits close to home... But like The Office, this deft workplace comedy also strikes a universal chord with an endearingly amusing ensemble of silly would-bes and never-wases.” – TV Insider Sep 3, 2025 Full Review
