Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Season 1 (2026) 85% 9/10 EDIT “Starfleet Academy is the best example of what Star Trek can and should be doing in this modern era — effortlessly inclusive, compelling, and innovative.” – Collider Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Season 3 (2025) 88% 5/10 EDIT “In a franchise known for going boldly and pushing boundaries, Strange New Worlds Season 3 has pumped the brakes in many ways.” – Collider Jun 15, 2025 Full Review Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season 5 (2024) 100% 9/10 EDIT “All in all, Star Trek: Lower Decks is going out at the very top of its game.” – Collider Oct 19, 2024 Full Review Abbott Elementary: Season 4 (2024) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Going into Season 4, each piece of Abbott Elementary fits together to create one of the best comedies currently airing.” – Collider Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 8 (2024) 7/10 EDIT “While certain plot details don’t hold up under a microscope, "Empire of Death" is a satisfying enough conclusion to an all-too-short season of Doctor Who.” – Collider Jun 22, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 7 (2024) 7/10 EDIT “"The Legend of Ruby Sunday" is an emotional roller coaster with as many tender beats as there are heart-pounding sequences, and it does the heavy lifting of setting up what will likely be a jaw-dropping finale.” – Collider Jun 16, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 6 (2024) 7/10 EDIT “With a balance of humor and romance, "Rogue" is a wonderful addition to a tight season filled with strong episodes.” – Collider Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 5 (2024) 8/10 EDIT “"Dot and Bubble" is a bleak episode with a lot of political teeth, all too apt in a world where we scroll past unspeakable tragedies and endless entertainment in a dystopian swirl all at the touch of our fingertips. ” – Collider Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 4 (2024) 7/10 EDIT “Like fairy circles themselves, “73 Yards” is a bit of a mystery as it leaves the audience with several unanswered questions despite wrapping the storyline up with a neat little bow.” – Collider Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 3 (2024) 9/10 EDIT “Steven Moffat's new Doctor Who episode, "Boom," is a masterclass in tension building.” – Collider May 19, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 2 (2024) 8/10 EDIT “With the pitch of the monster in the previous episode designed to make the listener afraid, and Maestro's desire to send the whole universe cascading into aeolian tones, sound may be what links this season together.” – Collider May 12, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1, Episode 1 (2024) 7/10 EDIT “Doctor Who kicks off Season 1 with an entry point for new viewers that is a hell of a lot of fun for long-time fans.” – Collider May 12, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 1 (2024) 93% 8/10 EDIT “These episodes kick off a new era of Doctor Who that is bright and full of possibility. ” – Collider May 6, 2024 Full Review Star Trek: Discovery: Season 5 (2024) 81% 8/10 EDIT “On top of a compelling treasure hunt-style story and its complex characters, Discovery Season 5 also delivers some incredible action sequences and truly breathtaking visuals. ” – Collider Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 0.1 (2023) 100% 8/10 EDIT “As the Doctor himself, Gatwa has big shoes to fill in "The Church on Ruby Road," and he does so beautifully, with all the charisma and gravitas needed to play such a legendary character.” – Collider Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Doctor Who: Season 0, Episode 2 (2023) A EDIT “This second special proves once more that Tennant and Tate are one of the best acting duos on television.” – Collider Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Doctor Who:

Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season 4 (2023) 100% A- EDIT “Every frame of this animated series is brimming with affection, and it's exceedingly obvious how much love goes into crafting each episode.” – Collider Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Archer: Season 14 (2023) 100% B+ EDIT “The first half of the season has breathed new life into the show and the new team dynamics have an appeal that would certainly outlast the final eight episodes.” – Collider Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Season 2 (2023) 97% A EDIT “Everything both in front of and behind the camera comes together for a bigger, better season that offers bold new adventures, grounded character work, and a true sense of wonder.” – Collider Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Riverdale: Season 7 (2023) B EDIT “While many of the campy Riverdale trademarks that have made this show a smash hit are certainly still there, the limitations of the time period... set the final season off to a rocky start.” – Collider Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Succession: Season 4 (2023) 97% A EDIT “While it's definitely difficult to accept that Season 4 of Succession will be the last, it feels like Armstrong is shepherding the series toward a satisfying conclusion.” – Collider Mar 22, 2023 Full Review George & Tammy: Season 1 (2022) 86% A EDIT “Over the course of its six episodes, the series is easily one of the best musical biopics released in recent memory.” – Collider Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Season 1, Episode 10 (2022) A- EDIT “Overall, Season 1 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is incredibly solid, with its main drawback being that the season was too short. ” – Collider Jul 12, 2022 Full Review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Season 1, Episode 9 (2022) B+ EDIT “As Season 1 of Strange New Worlds approaches its end, "All Those Who Wander" makes it very clear that we're not ready to let go. ” – Collider Jul 1, 2022 Full Review
