Independent Lens: Season 26, Episode 15 (2025) 3.5/4 EDIT ““We Want the Funk!” is as loose and as celebratory as the music it captures. ” – RogerEbert.com Apr 9, 2025 Full Review The Americas: Season 1 (2025) 86% EDIT “An objectively beautiful series filled with awe-inspiring landscapes and handsomely depicted wildlife whose existence is flattened by a repetitive approach. ” – RogerEbert.com Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Hollywood Black: Season 1 (2024) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “Simien's thesis is sound—Black people are imperative to Hollywood’s existence—and the joy he injects into the subject is pure. But it never feels like there’s quite enough substance to match his enthusiasm. ” – RogerEbert.com Aug 9, 2024 Full Review We Were the Lucky Ones: Season 1 (2024) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT ““We Were the Lucky Ones” is a defiant and harrowing, soul shattering story—one that gives the full range of the horrors that occur when you’ve been displaced, unmoored, and dehumanized. ” – RogerEbert.com Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Masters of the Air: Season 1 (2024) 85% 2/4 EDIT “No matter how much time we spend with any of these characters, they’re little more than broad biographical re-imaginings rather than real people. ” – RogerEbert.com Jan 24, 2024 Full Review Dreaming Whilst Black: Season 1 (2023) 100% EDIT “The heart of the show resides in its withering critique of the film industry. ” – Mashable Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty: Season 2 (2023) 82% EDIT “While Season Two of “Winning Time” is much improved, it pulls up just short of making a run.” – RogerEbert.com Aug 4, 2023 Full Review The Bear: Season 2 (2023) 99% EDIT “While “The Bear,” akin to the chefs at the heart of the show, does struggle at times to work on a wider canvas, it never talks down to the audience, its themes never disappear from view, and the pervading sense of grief never alleviates.” – RogerEbert.com Jun 22, 2023 Full Review The Idol: Season 1 (2023) 19% D EDIT ““The Idol” lacks the requisite self-awareness to be much of anything, really. It’s the extension of a music star’s misplaced self-belief of his potential movie star credentials. In short, it’s crude, gross, and sexist. ” – The Playlist May 23, 2023 Full Review Kindred: Season 1 (2022) 64% EDIT ““Kindred” isn’t a bold reimagining of 1970s racial politics (the decade of novel’s publication) through a present-day lens. Rather, it’s a top-down over-simplification of the radical source material.” – RogerEbert.com Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Ramy: Season 3 (2022) 92% B+ EDIT “The best, more fascinating season yet.” – The Playlist Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Atlanta: Season 4, Episode 2 (2022) C EDIT “The cohesiveness that once catapulted this series to prominence... barely exists. All that’s left are the shards of what once was.” – The Playlist Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Atlanta: Season 4, Episode 1 (2022) C EDIT “Written by Glover and directed by Hiro Murai, the premiere episode for season four flounders.” – The Playlist Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Atlanta: Season 4, Episode 3 (2022) C EDIT “The “Atlanta” you once knew may be gone, and if so, soon, so will this lesser one too.” – The Playlist Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Mike: Season 1 (2022) 41% C- EDIT “How do you diagram how a man who’s the hero of his own story can also be the villain? “Mike” never coheres to these disparate aims as it relies on mealy-mouthed fourth-wall-breaking antics. ” – The Playlist Aug 26, 2022 Full Review Mind Over Murder: Season 1 (2022) 100% 4/4 EDIT “[Wang's] comprehensive style, particularly her uncanny ability to diagram how authoritative systems can act against vulnerable individuals, somehow moves with a sharper precision than ever in “Mind Over Murder.”” – RogerEbert.com Jun 20, 2022 Full Review The Lincoln Lawyer: Season 1 (2022) 80% EDIT ““The Lincoln Lawyer” is a clear streaming win that could’ve easily played just as well on network television. ” – RogerEbert.com May 11, 2022 Full Review The Man Who Fell to Earth: Season 1 (2022) 87% EDIT “An unmistakable urgency pushes The Man Who Fell to Earth — not just in Faraday’s mission and his belief in the ends justifying the means, but the environmental criticism guiding his journey and ours. ” – Polygon May 6, 2022 Full Review We Own This City: Season 1 (2022) 93% EDIT “With its pressing social issues and weighty mystery, We Own This City desperately wants to be The Wire and True Detective, but lacks the narrative panache to match the unbelievable twists and turns of the headlines the story is ripped from. ” – Polygon May 6, 2022 Full Review Outer Range: Season 1 (2022) 79% EDIT “Outer Range is the rare kind of genre-bending work that leaves one wounded in its fresh take on our human existence while offering untold possibilities.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 14, 2022 Full Review 61st Street: Season 1 (2022) 71% EDIT “While nothing in Moffat's all-too bleak legal series offends the spirit, nothing feeds it either.” – RogerEbert.com Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Atlanta: Season 3 (2022) 96% B+ EDIT “It would take a potent, sinister spell for Atlanta not to return as itself. In this season, even when the series aims for discomfort, a blatant disregard to be defined except on its own terms makes for a knowing calm. ” – The Playlist Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty: Season 1 (2022) 85% EDIT “Despite a plethora of well-tuned performances, its visuals and narratives stumble.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 5, 2022 Full Review Harlem: Season 1 (2021) 96% B+ EDIT “Despite some early slip-ups, Oliver's Harlem resonates with fun, heart, verve, and the feeling of togetherness, inherent in both the neighborhood and the Black women it supports.” – IndieWire Dec 4, 2021 Full Review The Beatles: Get Back: Season 1 (2021) 93% EDIT “For the group's most dedicated scholars, though, Jackson's Get Back is a fitting, expansive interrogation and celebration of their waning days.” – Polygon Nov 28, 2021 Full Review
