The Continental: From the World of John Wick: Season 1 (2023) 63% 2/4 EDIT “Check your expectations at the door: this Peacock three-part prequel event series doesn’t have Keanu Reeves or the same all-around genre ambition as the movie franchise that inspired it.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Telemarketers: Season 1 (2023) 96% EDIT “Lipman-Stern’s footage, and the new interviews here with co-workers that are like a class reunion, keep the story’s view eye-to-eye and nonjudgmental, which is essential.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Only Murders in the Building: Season 3 (2023) 97% EDIT “"Only Murders in the Building" has a standard for writing and cleverness that’s simply higher than so many other productions.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty: Season 2 (2023) 82% B- EDIT “Excitement of spending more time with such a special era of sports history is sporadically evident in this second season.” – The Playlist Aug 8, 2023 Full Review The Afterparty: Season 2 (2023) 95% EDIT “It’s a lot like Apple TV+’s musical series “Schmigadoon!” ... which is a good, cozy quality. “The Afterparty” is also putting on a show, and each kooky suspect’s spotlight is an inspired moment for the series’ sneaky, chameleonic storytellers.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 14, 2023 Full Review The Bear: Season 2 (2023) 99% B+ EDIT “Another poignant way for this heartfelt show to make us appreciate the pleasure of unforgettable food by matching it with pain from the process. ” – The Playlist Jun 19, 2023 Full Review The Full Monty: Season 1 (2023) 67% EDIT “"The Full Monty” the series is what happens when there’s too much of a quaint thing—it turns into a bit of a slog.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Based on a True Story: Season 1 (2023) 74% EDIT “Like a good, however flawed, podcast, there’s a bunch you might wish you could skip over, but it still leaves you curious and impatient for the next episode.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 9, 2023 Full Review The Luckiest Guy in the World: The Bill Walton Story: Season 1 (2023) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Walton’s life story is in great hands with director James, who has a rare touch for sports and the people who play them.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 7, 2023 Full Review I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson: Season 3 (2023) 96% EDIT “"I Think You Should Leave" is continuous in its oddly brilliant ways.” – RogerEbert.com May 31, 2023 Full Review Platonic: Season 1 (2023) 93% EDIT “Even when “Platonic” can be too enamored with its minor victory of simply representing a different kind of love, Byrne and Rogen will then do something together that’s funny or sweet or endearing. You can’t fake chemistry like that.” – RogerEbert.com May 24, 2023 Full Review The Secrets of Hillsong: Season 1 (2023) 100% 3.5/4 EDIT ““The Secrets of Hillsong,” a fascinating four-part docuseries, looks at the church’s shiny edifice and dismantles it piece by piece.” – RogerEbert.com May 19, 2023 Full Review Bupkis: Season 1 (2023) 78% EDIT “We get from this show that Davidson is ready to be taken more seriously, but it's still too hazy about why we should do that.” – RogerEbert.com May 3, 2023 Full Review White House Plumbers: Season 1 (2023) 69% 2.5/4 EDIT “As it looks back with embarrassment, "White House Plumbers" may include both ridiculous and true events, but we don’t get enough to laugh about.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 28, 2023 Full Review Citadel: Season 1 (2023) 51% EDIT “A globe-trotting, twist-heavy, yawn-inducing Prime Video series that fails its mission to entertain even with lowered expectations.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 28, 2023 Full Review Dear Mama: Season 1 (2023) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Ambition can be a messy act of passion, and throughout an eye-opening and sometimes disorienting five hours, we come to share Hughes’ intricate admiration for the Shakurs and their impact across movements and generations.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Waco: The Aftermath: Season 1 (2023) 29% 2/4 EDIT “The execution does not rise to meet the ambition of its story—it asks for a surprising amount of nuance in how it paints angry Americans going up against the government ... and yet it doesn’t express their stories with nearly the same amount of tact.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 17, 2023 Full Review Schmigadoon!: Season 2 (2023) 97% EDIT “Returning for another adventure, the charm of “Schmigadoon!” shows little signs of fatigue and can be just as entertaining in a unique way: its hard-labored song and dance sequences are easy to love.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 7, 2023 Full Review Waco: American Apocalypse: Season 1 (2023) 84% 2/4 EDIT “More or less a 150-minute trailer, with the similar emotional investment of something desperate for you to watch, despite the intricate material, tough questions, and expansive grey areas that come with retracing what happened in Waco, Texas, in 1993.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Digman!: Season 1 (2023) 57% EDIT “The table reads must have been a blast for this production, even for the less memorable adventures. Getting to see these scripts as a stoner’s Saturday afternoon cartoon makes “Digman!” even more of a gem.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Swarm: Season 1 (2023) 87% 3.5/4 EDIT “The series' satire is all the more heartbreaking and compulsively watchable because of Fishback's dedication to every facet of Dre.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 17, 2023 Full Review History of the World: Part II: Season 1 (2023) 75% 3/4 EDIT “An enterprise like "History of the World, Part II" will be hit-or-miss by design, but it gets enough inspired sketches, game cameo appearances, and plainly laugh-out-loud moments from its clever silliness to recommend it.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 2, 2023 Full Review The Ark: Season 1 (2023) 50% EDIT “A nifty problem-solver sci-fi show, made digestible by shameless stock dialogue mixed with plenty of cliffhanger moments.” – RogerEbert.com Feb 2, 2023 Full Review That '90s Show: Season 1 (2023) 75% EDIT “A harmless, also relatively pointless piece of nostalgia that has an even deeper fondness for a mustier style: the TV sitcom.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Shrinking: Season 1 (2023) 91% EDIT “Shrinking has a good grasp of its thoughtful quirkiness while also knowing how to let its characters run free.” – RogerEbert.com Jan 28, 2023 Full Review
