Franklin: Season 1 (2024) 71% EDIT “My advice is to sit back and enjoy Douglas as he admirably chews the scenery and molds a multi-faceted man into a single-minded hero of American history — with a few bumps along the way.” – New York Post Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Hapless: Season 2 (2023) 100% EDIT “Outrageous, unflinching and funny — but never predictable.” – New York Post Apr 9, 2024 Full Review Hapless: Season 1 (2020) 100% EDIT “The series is often all over the place, thematically — with several different subplots per episode — but Sinyor manages to connect the dots by the end of each half-hour installment.” – New York Post Apr 9, 2024 Full Review Manhunt: Season 1 (2024) 87% EDIT “The action, such as it is, tends to get bogged down in wordy dialogue and the pace is often sluggish in what feels, at times, like a series of re-enactments from a History Channel documentary.” – New York Post Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Grimsburg: Season 1 (2024) 63% EDIT “It strives too hard to mimic the metaverse of “Family Guy” with a plethora of pop culture references and asides that mostly fall flat and fail to hit their marks.” – New York Post Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Fargo: Season 5 (2023) 93% EDIT “This fifth season of “Fargo” is, by turns, funny, dramatic, violent, slapstick and frightening — everything fans of the series have come to expect.” – New York Post Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Everyone Else Burns: Season 1 (2023) 90% EDIT ““Everyone Else Burns” makes a nice addition to the CW’s growing prime-time lineup comprised mostly of quality imports.” – New York Post Oct 24, 2023 Full Review Found: Season 1 (2023) 70% EDIT ““Found” offers a solid take on the procedural genre — with several novel twists.” – New York Post Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Gen V: Season 1 (2023) 97% EDIT “It frequently falls into a sophomoric rut (sexual situations run rampant) but, when all is said a done, manages to extricate itself before it collapses into the abyss of noisy mediocrity.” – New York Post Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Strange Planet: Season 1 (2023) 83% EDIT “The 10-episode series retains its forerunner’s flair for offbeat situations neatly wrapped in gentle life lessons targeted to all ages.” – New York Post Aug 3, 2023 Full Review The Bear: Season 2 (2023) 99% EDIT ““The Bear” is way too loud, both in its audio and contextual dimensions.” – New York Post Jul 11, 2023 Full Review Clean Sweep: Season 1 (2023) 67% EDIT “It offers a compelling, elaborate-puzzle murder mystery that will keep you guessing all the way through to the end of its sixth and final episode.” – New York Post Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Mrs. Davis: Season 1 (2023) 92% EDIT “I’m still not completely sure what to make of “Mrs. Davis” — other than it’s entertaining, with an offbeat, oft-absurdist sense of humor and a storyline (and cast) which doesn’t take anything too seriously.” – New York Post Apr 19, 2023 Full Review Am I Being Unreasonable?: Season 1 (2022) 89% EDIT “While “Am I Being Unreasonable?” might not fit everyone’s taste, it’s worth checking out — particularly if you’re in the mood for a story that takes you on an unexpected, and very binge-worthy, journey.” – New York Post Apr 12, 2023 Full Review The Power: Season 1 (2023) 76% EDIT ““The Power” offers a novel twist on culture and the ramifications of historical hierarchies, without any hitting-us-over-the-head preachiness.” – New York Post Apr 2, 2023 Full Review Hello Tomorrow!: Season 1 (2023) 55% EDIT “It could be a futuristic version of Eisenhower-era America or in the future from now. Who knows? It’s simultaneously compelling and sometimes distracting — but never boring.” – New York Post Feb 22, 2023 Full Review The Company You Keep: Season 1 (2023) 85% EDIT ““The Company You Keep” is the type of pleasant, late-season diversion that doesn’t take itself too seriously, mixing action with a touch of whimsy. It should make a solid addition to ABC’s Sunday-night lineup.” – New York Post Feb 17, 2023 Full Review The 12th Victim: Season 1 (2023) EDIT “It’s all very compelling, but I’m guessing “The 12th Victim” still won’t sway a number of those people old enough to remember the case and its immediate aftermath.” – New York Post Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Shrinking: Season 1 (2023) 91% EDIT “The cast meshes well and, early on, each of the “Shrinking” characters has their shining moment in scenes both funny and poignant.” – New York Post Jan 24, 2023 Full Review Koala Man: Season 1 (2023) 87% EDIT “It may not be as sharp-elbowed as “Family Guy” and veers into unnecessary sophomoric territory — just because it can, I guess — but “Koala Man” has a good heart that beats a lot of what’s out there in the land of adult animation.” – New York Post Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Will Trent: Season 1 (2023) 89% EDIT ““Will Trent” is a rare example of a midseason series that would — and maybe should — have been right at home with a splashy fall debut.” – New York Post Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Alaska Daily: Season 1 (2022) 74% EDIT “A too- earnest, tropey drama that’s well-intentioned but heavy-handed in checking all the requisite contextual boxes.” – New York Post Oct 26, 2022 Full Review The Rookie: Feds: Season 1 (2022) 86% EDIT “[It] has the right stuff to stick around for a while.” – New York Post Oct 12, 2022 Full Review The Village: Season 1 (2019) 23% EDIT “It's the type of Village that welcomes you with open arms - and should score lots of points with viewers of every stripe.” – New York Post Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Quantum Leap: Season 1 (2022) 58% EDIT “When all is said and done, “Quantum Leap” will need to make great strides in order to succeed as a weekly viewing destination.” – New York Post Sep 20, 2022 Full Review
