The White Lotus: Season 3 (2025) 86% A- EDIT “Mike White continues to show how pain and suffering can thrive even in the most lavish settings. It is that contrast that makes the series so strong.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Sep 15, 2025 Full Review The Penguin: Season 1 (2024) 95% A- EDIT “Masterful work by Colin Farrell despite loads of makeup elevates this tale above the normal action series.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season 5 (2024) 100% A- EDIT “This series finds that sweet spot exactly and boldly goes where few animation efforts have gone before.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Wednesday: Season 1 (2022) 73% A- EDIT “Jenna Ortega does a masterful job of finding the right angst and macabre comedy to play the young member of the Addams Family.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Lioness: Season 1 (2023) 54% A- EDIT “Zoe Saldaña has already shown through the big productions of Guardians of the Galaxy and Avatar that she can handle any action role thrown at her. She puts an exclamation mark on that point with her work in the Paramount+ series Special Ops: Lioness.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies: Season 1 (2023) 62% D EDIT “Weak acting and bad songs make this series a big miss.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Black Lightning: Season 4 (2021) 3.5/4 EDIT “The way it combined strong action scenes, smart discussions on racial issues and family matters made it a first-rate production.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Clarice: Season 1 (2021) 42% 3/4 EDIT “It is the standout performance by Breeds that makes this production so chillingly strong.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Aug 10, 2023 Full Review The Great: Season 2 (2021) 100% 3.4/5 EDIT “It is a fun historical romp powered by the energy brought to the small screen by Fanning and Hoult.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Lucifer: Season 5 (2020) 82% 3.5/4 EDIT “There is a big question about whether someone can be an evil twin of someone who is evil, but Ellis makes it work.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Titans: Season 3 (2021) 100% A EDIT “The third season continues with Jason Todd’s (Curran Walters) journey as Robin as he becomes the evil Red Hood. His main objective is to deal with those he once fought beside. This sparks an explosive season.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Resident Alien: Season 2 (2022) 100% B+ EDIT “Most of the success comes through Tudyk’s work that includes the challenge of showing how an alien would react to suddenly having to deal with a human body. ” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Ghosts: Season 1 (2021) 93% A EDIT “The series starts with a solid center because of the work by McIver. It gets better with each of the spirited characters who bring a different kind of humor to each episode.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Aug 9, 2023 Full Review The Neighborhood: Season 5 (2022) B EDIT “While the series started out as a one-night joke on a changing neighborhood, it has grown because of the cast to be a smart and funny buddy comedy.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Sex and the City: Season 1 (1998) 46% EDIT “Don't waste your time watching this act of sexual suicide dressed up for a television project. ” – Fresno Bee Apr 19, 2023 Full Review Supernatural: Season 15 (2019) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “As shown in the final season, this was not a series that merely survived but creatively thrived until the very end.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) May 28, 2021 Full Review The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Season 1, Episode 1 (2021) 3.5/4 EDIT “There is enough in the first episode -- including the kind of opening battle scene usually reserved for feature films -- to show that this series has the potential to be as good as WandaVision.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Snowpiercer: Season 1 (2020) 63% 3/4 EDIT “It is a series that is as thought provoking as it is entertaining.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Feb 12, 2021 Full Review Doom Patrol: Season 2 (2020) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “This works because of an all-star cast that includes Matt Bomer, Timothy Dalton and Brendan Fraser. But it is the work by April Bowlby that gives the series the emotional center it needs to strike so many relatable notes.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Feb 12, 2021 Full Review WandaVision: Season 1 (2021) 92% EDIT “WandaVision is unique, original and fun. At the same time it is frustrating because of the structure.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Jan 16, 2021 Full Review Call Me Kat: Season 1 (2021) 25% 1.5/4 EDIT “Call Me Kat lacks the kind of originality that someone as talented as Bialik deserves.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Mr. Mayor: Season 1 (2021) 44% 2/4 EDIT “Because they didn't attack the political angles with more edge, Danson's character is nothing more than the same kind of slightly bungling boss that has been a part of sitcoms for decades.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Moonbase 8: Season 1 (2020) 56% B- EDIT “There are comedies that go for bigger laughs and those that dig deeper for smarter humor. But, Moonbase 8 finds a low comedy orbit that earns points for being such a metaphor for the times in which we live.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Nov 7, 2020 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 2 (2020) 93% EDIT “It is better than the first season.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Nov 7, 2020 Full Review Brave New World: Season 1 (2020) 47% EDIT “The heart of Huxley's book is present but there have been some big changes that don't add to the story. The overall plot structure suffers as the book has had to be expanded into at least one season of stories.” – KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA) Jul 17, 2020 Full Review
