Only Murders in the Building: Season 5 (2025) 89% 2.5/4 EDIT “Well, details-schmeetails. The jokes always land. ” – Chicago Tribune Sep 9, 2025 Full Review The Paper: Season 1 (2025) 85% 2/4 EDIT “A worthy experiment. But one that ultimately doesn’t work.” – Chicago Tribune Sep 4, 2025 Full Review The Rainmaker: Season 1 (2025) 56% 2/4 EDIT “The pilot episode is promising enough, only for subsequent episodes to devolve from there. Fundamentally, there isn’t enough story. ” – Chicago Tribune Aug 21, 2025 Full Review The Newsreader: Season 2 (2023) 100% 4/4 EDIT “The ’80s details, especially when it comes to wardrobe and hair, are bang on without being over-the-top or camp. It’s a snapshot that feels wonderfully alive and relevant to this moment.” – Chicago Tribune Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Demascus: Season 1 (2025) 86% 2/4 EDIT “While the premise of “Demascus” is enticing — what might our lives look like with small changes? — the six-episode series doesn’t live up to its initial promise. ” – Chicago Tribune Aug 7, 2025 Full Review Chief of War: Season 1 (2025) 92% 3/4 EDIT “None of it would work without Momoa’s considerable screen presence. ” – Chicago Tribune Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Leanne: Season 1 (2025) 71% 2/4 EDIT “There’s a deliberate pace to the show — and to the dialogue itself — that results in punchlines just laying there.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Justice on Trial: Season 1 (2025) 2/4 EDIT “Ultimately, this feels like such a hacky exercise.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Untamed: Season 1 (2025) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “The series’ premise is better suited to a movie, but at six episodes it doesn’t overstay its welcome.” – Chicago Tribune Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Code of Silence: Season 1 (2025) 100% 3/4 EDIT “To Code of Silence’s credit, it’s told from the point of view of Alison, rather than the police. ” – Chicago Tribune Jul 16, 2025 Full Review The Bear: Season 4 (2025) 84% 2.5/4 EDIT “At its best, “The Bear” explores the idea of aspirations that are both specific and illusory. ” – Chicago Tribune Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Smoke: Season 1 (2025) 74% 1.5/4 EDIT “Plenty of smoke. No fire.” – Chicago Tribune Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Patience: Season 1 (2025) 88% 3/4 EDIT “The cases themselves are interesting enough and sometimes pivot around an amusing premise. ” – Chicago Tribune Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Art Detectives: Season 1 (2025) 89% 3/4 EDIT “Corruption and money laundering have long fueled the art world, and it’s fun to see a show put some of that intrigue center stage. ” – Chicago Tribune Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Stick: Season 1 (2025) 81% 4/4 EDIT “Wilson has such a light touch with the charming-but-flawed men he tends to play and Wilson's particular talent is ensuring that the performance never tips over into a flakiness that can read as vacant” – Chicago Tribune Jun 4, 2025 Full Review Dept. Q: Season 1 (2025) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “Ultimately, the combination of Carl, Akram, Rose and Hardy makes for a compelling crime-solving foursome.” – Chicago Tribune May 29, 2025 Full Review Sirens: Season 1 (2025) 75% 2/4 EDIT “The series has so much escapist potential in its initial episodes, poking at the absurdities of abundant wealth and ladling in so much silly foreboding, only to squander it because the series is unable to create anything resembling an emotional payoff.” – Chicago Tribune May 22, 2025 Full Review Murderbot: Season 1 (2025) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Self-awareness means Murderbot has developed squishy qualities, like feelings. One of those feelings is the desire for self-determination... paving the way for a new story in the series’ next inevitable season.” – Chicago Tribune May 15, 2025 Full Review Overcompensating: Season 1 (2025) 94% 2.5/4 EDIT “Benny’s struggles are emotionally poignant, and once Carmen figures out his secret, the show is able to go to some interesting places.” – Chicago Tribune May 15, 2025 Full Review FOREVER: Season 1 (2025) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “It’s hard enough figuring out who you are, let alone who you are as one half of a couple, and both actors navigate this uncertainty with nuance.” – Chicago Tribune May 9, 2025 Full Review Poker Face: Season 2 (2025) 96% 3.5/5 EDIT ““Poker Face” isn’t going for anything deep. And yet it’s still filled with sardonic commentary all the same.” – Chicago Tribune May 7, 2025 Full Review The Four Seasons: Season 1 (2025) 78% 2/4 EDIT “Ultimately, it’s not funny, which is such a strange and disappointing contrast to the source material.” – Chicago Tribune May 1, 2025 Full Review Miss Austen: Season 1 (2025) 92% 2/5 EDIT “The miniseries is agreeable enough as upscale fan fiction about the Austen sisters. That’s probably a draw for many viewers. I’m not sure it’s enough. ” – Chicago Tribune Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Étoile: Season 1 (2025) 86% 3.5/4 EDIT ““Étoile” is fundamentally a story about work — within the administrative offices as well as the dance studios of both companies — where egos and conflict abound. And it’s funny!” – Chicago Tribune Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Leverage: Redemption: Season 3 (2025) 3/4 EDIT “I can’t express how satisfying it is to watch a television show that doesn’t pretend we have to accept that systems are permanently rigged and we’re all doomed.” – Chicago Tribune Apr 23, 2025 Full Review
