The show struggles to find new reserves to plumb and veers off in some crazy directions to do it.
“The American Revolution” is rich with detail and vibrant with intellectual filmmaking that seeks to serve as a definitive record of its subject.
“In Your Dreams” is a wise and touching story about the challenges of family and of change.
“Come See Me in the Good Light” renders the subject with profound intimacy.
One of the best action TV dramas of this year.
Like its central characters, “Palm Royale” has matured in all the best ways.
“The Seduction” is about vicious paybacks and the scandals of libertine life, but without visceral sexiness or savvy.
It is mostly a one-woman show, run by a phenomenally sharp Seehorn.
Bentley and co-writer Greg Kwedar (“Sing Sing”) tell a story of an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.
“Death by Lightning” sticks to a refreshingly linear timeline, save for a few well-placed flashbacks that actually serve to inform the story.
“Stumble” gets a high score, thanks to it mostly resisting easy/dumb jokes in favor of surprising and warm ones.
“All Her Fault” is an anxiety-inducing thriller with the sudden drops of a sinkhole and the venomous twists of a snake pit.
Even when the plot falters, “Robin Hood” is a rare series that emulates its time period with ease with its visual and musical feats.
It’s a show for the self-obsessed, the image-centric, and the painfully irresponsible. In that respect, it might capture its setting and cohort perfectly.
Season 4 continues the sprawl that has made “The Witcher” feel less like a gritty fantasy slash-em-up and more like homework.
This is powerfully entertaining stuff, filled with satisfying twists and turns.
