All Her Fault: Season 1 (2025) 80% EDIT “A mostly hokey story that has flashes of brilliance, or at least of sharp insight into the tensions and fault lines of working motherhood.” – The Atlantic Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Stranger Things: Season 5 (2025) 83% EDIT “I found the first four episodes largely joyless and grim... If Stranger Things can locate more of [its] humanity in its last few episodes, it’ll be much easier to swallow everything else it’s trying to sell us.” – The Atlantic Nov 27, 2025 Full Review All's Fair: Season 1 (2025) 6% EDIT “I can’t call it a television show, because it isn’t one. Rather, it’s Instagram Reels at episode length, 45-minute collections of bedazzled moving images, targeted at the idly scrolling second-screen viewer. ” – The Atlantic Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Task: Season 1 (2025) 96% EDIT “The choice Task makes to soften Ruffalo’s natural affability and presence in favor of Pelphrey’s Robbie is a fascinating one, requiring humility from one actor and intense commitment from the other.” – The Atlantic Sep 19, 2025 Full Review And Just Like That...: Season 3 (2025) 46% EDIT “The casual cruelty with which And Just Like That treated its cast’s bodies as punch lines and visual gags seemed to suggest a deeper unease with what it means to age -- to be undeniably, messily human.” – The Atlantic Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Too Much: Season 1 (2025) 79% EDIT “The more I’ve come back to the show, the more its slack, unromantic approach to love looks intentional.” – The Atlantic Jul 17, 2025 Full Review The Bear: Season 4 (2025) 84% EDIT “Ater the slow-drip, languorous suffering of Season 3, it’s thrilling to see the characters and the action move so purposefully and gratifyingly forward.” – The Atlantic Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Sirens: Season 1 (2025) 75% EDIT “Sirens is a very fun show.” – The Atlantic May 27, 2025 Full Review With Love, Meghan: Season 1 (2025) 38% EDIT “Best appreciated as anthropological study -- what impossibly wealthy women do for love and fulfillment -- rather than a model for how the rest of us should enact our labors: half as care and half as performance.” – The Atlantic Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Severance: Season 2 (2025) 94% EDIT “These developments amount to a series that remains fascinatingly enigmatic but that accords a mite more heart and humanity to its characters.” – The Atlantic Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Rivals: Season 1 (2024) 95% EDIT “Watching Rivals, I was more drawn to the qualities it has that’ve been largely absent from more prestigious shows this year: joy, and also abundance, sly humor, and fun.” – The Atlantic Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Slow Horses: Season 4 (2024) 100% EDIT “Slow Horses is thrilling, often improbably so. But it's also keenly attuned to the dynamics and psychology of the trade -- what it means to understand people as expendable pieces in an unwinnable game.” – The Atlantic Sep 9, 2024 Full Review The Bear: Season 3 (2024) 89% EDIT “The Bear is still extraordinarily artful... But the show also appears less interested in telling a story than in offering an immersive trip for viewers into the recesses and faulty wiring of Carmy’s brain.” – The Atlantic Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Hacks: Season 3 (2024) 98% EDIT “As a satire of the entertainment industry, Hacks is hard to beat.” – The Atlantic May 2, 2024 Full Review Bluey: Season 3 (2021) 100% EDIT “Bluey has given us the gift of more than 150 episodes, enough of them to return to over and over, maybe even more than we deserve. And yet, every new installment is evidence that the show is becoming ever more creative, more empathetic, more necessary.” – The Atlantic Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Sugar: Season 1 (2024) 81% EDIT “Billed as “genre-bending,” spanning film noir, sci-fi, and Westerns, with some global gangster intrigue thrown into the mix. What it really is, though, is a surprisingly good crime drama with an awful lot of unnecessary adornment” – The Atlantic Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Ripley: Season 1 (2024) 86% EDIT “Shot in striking black and white -- it’s the most beautiful series I’ve ever seen on the platform -- it is emotionally spare, deliberate in its pacing, and morbidly funny.” – The Atlantic Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Slow Horses: Season 3 (2023) 98% EDIT “This might make for a depressing real-world status quo, but on Slow Horses, it translates into exemplary television: the most unlikely champions saving the day (and themselves) in ways that only we, the viewers, can truly appreciate.” – The Atlantic Dec 20, 2023 Full Review The Buccaneers: Season 1 (2023) 76% EDIT “It’s actually a fascinating experiment: What happens if a series has the trappings of prestige television, but neither the ability nor the intention to write like it? ” – The Atlantic Dec 4, 2023 Full Review The Super Models: Season 1 (2023) 84% EDIT “The Super Models does have fleeting moments of profundity, which makes it all the more frustrating that it doesn’t further explore them. ” – The Atlantic Sep 27, 2023 Full Review The Morning Show: Season 3 (2023) 75% EDIT “For The Morning Show to thrive, it needs either Alex or Bradley -- or both -- to embrace antiheroism, yet both are played by actors so recognizable and likable on-screen that explicit villainy seems well out of their range. ” – The Atlantic Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Minx: Season 2 (2023) 89% EDIT “The show is glib where it used to be thoughtful, evasive about the exploitative edges of the business it’s portraying, and seemingly more interested in staging a quippy ’70s costume party than engaging with the mission of the magazine at its center. ” – The Atlantic Jul 20, 2023 Full Review And Just Like That...: Season 2 (2023) 63% EDIT “In its second season, And Just Like That thankfully stops apologizing for its existence. Unfortunately, this only illuminates the show’s lack of purpose; it is indeed uncanny and lifeless. ” – The Atlantic Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Happy Valley: Season 3 (2023) 100% EDIT “With Happy Valley, we also got Catherine: fearless, moody, perceptive, abrasive, indispensable. The show makes no apologies for her... She’s flawed, and she’s riveting. One last outing with her is a gift.” – The Atlantic May 30, 2023 Full Review Succession: Season 4, Episode 9 (2023) EDIT “Succession is never better than when it’s being tense and terrible at the same time, and the combination of Ewan’s extremely unfiltered disquisition and Roman’s most public breakdown is agonizing. ” – The Atlantic May 23, 2023 Full Review
