Love Life: Season 2 (2021) 95% EDIT “For all its sexy trappings, Love Life reveals itself to be achingly sweet.” – Vanity Fair Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Hawkeye: Season 1 (2021) 92% EDIT “The series was loosely inspired by the excellent Matt Fraction and David Aja run of Hawkeye comics, and some of that fun makes its way into the show.” – Vanity Fair Nov 28, 2021 Full Review Dopesick: Season 1 (2021) 89% EDIT “As the characters reveal their struggles, Dopesick gets better and better, emphasizing how dwarfed each individual is by the massive power of Purdue.” – Vanity Fair Oct 14, 2021 Full Review The Problem With Jon Stewart: Season 1 (2021) 71% EDIT “This Stewart is more earnest than the shrugging news anchor helming the steep decline of America. It'll take time for the show to resolve into what it can do best, but in the meantime, it is nice to have him back around.” – Vanity Fair Sep 30, 2021 Full Review The Other Two: Season 2 (2021) 96% EDIT “I've felt drawn to the show for its thorny subtext about the way our personal and professional spheres are made to overlap, be it via a social media presence or a job literally managing your mother.” – Vanity Fair Sep 22, 2021 Full Review We Are Lady Parts: Season 1 (2021) 100% EDIT “The season is swift but so rewarding that I watched it twice.” – Vanity Fair Jun 4, 2021 Full Review Halston: Season 1 67% EDIT “What makes the whole thing work, start to finish, is McGregor's huge, bizarre, involved, and inspired turn as Halston, which has the Scot expanding his vowels wide to make them ostensibly Midwestern.” – Vanity Fair May 14, 2021 Full Review Saturday Night Live: Season 46, Episode 18 (2021) EDIT “t's a slightly shambling, self-satisfied awkwardness - a dorkiness that would be charming if it weren't so obviously smug.” – Vanity Fair May 10, 2021 Full Review The Mosquito Coast: Season 1 (2021) 64% EDIT “Even [Justin Theroux's] absorbing performance can't make Mosquito Coast make sense.” – Vanity Fair Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Mare of Easttown: Season 1 (2021) 95% EDIT “Mare's courage at confronting the demons of this town offer up a particularly satisfying kind of catharsis, where women paying attention to each other can save each other from the worst kind of bogeyman.” – Vanity Fair Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Made for Love: Season 1 (2021) 95% EDIT “The framing gives Made for Love ample space to focus on a merciless takedown of the absurdities of ultra-capitalist tech futurism, embodied by the frail egos of its psychologically stunted robber barons.” – Vanity Fair Apr 5, 2021 Full Review The Nevers: Season 1 (2021) 47% EDIT “It feels empty, as if the scripts are just going through the motions; the characters have so little substance beyond their spunky quips that the dramatic moments, when they inevitably arrive, ooze into each episode like treacle.” – Vanity Fair Apr 5, 2021 Full Review The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Season 1, Episode 1 (2021) EDIT “For someone who isn't especially moved by the MCU, a mumblecore Marvel where superheroes mostly spend their time struggling through difficult conversations as they reckon with their legacy feels kind of great.” – Vanity Fair Mar 18, 2021 Full Review Waffles + Mochi: Season 1 (2021) 95% EDIT “I love that this show highlights the grocery store as a site for wonder; we live in a flawed world, but the sheer spectacle of the American grocery store is a sight to behold and cherish.” – Vanity Fair Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Bridgerton: Season 1 (2020) 87% EDIT “It's brilliantly perverse, a loving embrace of the period romance that sends up every Austen trope along the way.” – Vanity Fair Dec 21, 2020 Full Review Small Axe: Season 3 (2020) 97% EDIT “It's an astonishing effort, not least because Red, White, and Blue is wending its way down a path littered with ideological landmines.” – Vanity Fair Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Small Axe: Season 2 (2020) 98% EDIT “Lovers Rock is a snapshot of jubilation. In a gorgeous cascade of emotion that tracks the heady ups and downs of youth on a weekend night.” – Vanity Fair Dec 1, 2020 Full Review The Flight Attendant: Season 1 (2020) 97% EDIT “Maybe that's the most brilliant twist in Cuoco's performance as Cassie: She's playing a character who isn't put together or impressive, but rather just this side of annoying-and somehow you end up rooting for her anyway.” – Vanity Fair Nov 20, 2020 Full Review I Hate Suzie: Season 1 (2020) 95% EDIT “Above all, I Hate Suzie is a masterclass in tone-yanking the viewer this way and that, but never quite dropping us into either the depths of despair or the indignity of laughing off the entire incident.” – Vanity Fair Nov 19, 2020 Full Review The Crown: Season 4 (2020) 96% EDIT “The result is an absorbing season, both incredibly satisfying and, often, painful to watch unfold.” – Vanity Fair Nov 10, 2020 Full Review A Teacher: Season 1 (2020) 74% EDIT “A Teacher stands out because it's rare to come across such contained, sharp storytelling on TV in the Peak Content era.” – Vanity Fair Nov 5, 2020 Full Review Private Lives of Nashville Wives: Season 1 (2014) 0% C EDIT “Private Lives is hoping to make much of the women's interpersonal drama, but in the first few episodes, it's had to settle for one woman worrying that she's lost her identity as a stay-at-home mom.” – AV Club Oct 30, 2020 Full Review The Undoing: Season 1 (2020) 75% EDIT “A bad man getting away with a bad thing? Lawyers obfuscating the wheels of justice? It's all too familiar. And perhaps this is just 2020 talking, but it's a little exhausting, too.” – Vanity Fair Oct 23, 2020 Full Review It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 10 (2015) 100% EDIT “The show has no pretensions to anything, and yet is, 10 years in, still producing incredibly solid work.” – Salon.com Oct 15, 2020 Full Review Grand Army: Season 1 (2020) 69% EDIT “I think the show meant to be more than what it is. And on that count, it has failed.” – Vanity Fair Oct 13, 2020 Full Review
