Season One. Aired On: Hulu on Disney+. Release Date: 04/08/26. Genre: Drama. Thriller. The Verdict: A Must-See It's been less than a year since the series finale of The Handmaid's Tale , but for fans like me it feels like a lifetime. Oh how I loved seeing June Osborne's journey and her fight to free herself from the clutches of Gilead and its regime. It's because of my deep admiration for the series that I was cautious going into The Testaments . Having not read the books,

Season Five. [Episodes 1 - 2] Aired On: Prime Video. Release Date: 04/08/26. Genre: Action. Comedy. Crime. Drama. The Verdict: A Must-See The satirical superhero series The Boys returns for its fifth and final season, and to say the end is nigh is an understatement for this final lap. The first two episodes of the eight-episode conclusion premiered on Prime Video on April 8th and are both filled end to end with energy, excitement, and blood. This write-up cannot cover the f

Season One. Aired On: Disney+. Release Date: 04/06/26. Genre: Action. Adventure. Animation. Family. SciFi. The Verdict: A Maybe Darth Maul’s journey mirrors Star Wars  in one key way: both were introduced as something sharp, dangerous, and full of possibility, then spent years getting chopped up, stitched back together, and repackaged to wildly varying degrees of success.  Maul was the hyped-up villain of the first Star Wars  prequel, only to get cut in half and tossed down

Season Three. Aired On: Netflix. Release Date: 04/02/26. Genre: Comedy. Drama. Romance. The Verdict: A Maybe At this point XO, Kitty is the definition of a guilty pleasure… I remember the fond memories of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and then the disappointment of the concluding chapters of the trilogy and now this.  It’s hard to believe we’re three seasons into XO, Kitty because as another season breezes by it feels like we’re walking into circles. This season follo

Season Two. Aired On: Disney+. Release Date: 03/24/26. Genre: Action. Crime. The Verdict: A Must-See Can it be heavy-handed? Sure. Does it work? Mostly, yes. Daredevil: Born Again  Season 2 moves. And it’s grim – so grim that it almost feels like Marvel watched Andor  and said, hold my beer . After a first season that felt stitched together from competing visions, Season 2 is leaner, meaner, and far more focused. The creative overhaul shows.  Season 1 was originally steered

Season Two. Aired On: Prime Video. Release Date: 03/20/26. Genre: Comedy. The Verdict: A Must-See When the discussion of comedy television pops up, I always try to sneak in recommending the Prime Video show Jury Duty , where a documentary crew followed regular citizen Ronald Gladden for his Jury Duty service completely unaware that both the trial and jury were all set-up by a group of actors. The show’s first season was gut busting, hilarious, as well as unexpectedly wholeso

Season One. [Episodes 1 - 6] Aired On: Paramount+. Release Date: 03/14/26. Genre: Action. Drama. The Verdict: A Must-See Taylor Sheridan has built one of television’s most recognizable storytelling empires, but The Madison may be his most personal project yet. Written entirely by Sheridan across its six-episode first season, the show steps away from the grand mythmaking often associated with his storytelling in favor of something far more intimate. What unfolds is a deeply

Season One. Aired On: Apple TV. Release Date: 04/15/26. Genre: Comedy. Drama. Seen for SXSW 2026. The Verdict: A Must-See Margo’s Got Money Troubles follows Margo, a promising young college student at a school with an implied lack of prestige. She is an aspiring writer and is quickly gaslighted by her college professor with the cliche ‘You could be a star!’ elevator pitch/pickup line, resulting in a short lived affair, an unplanned pregnancy and the birth of her first child

Season Two. Aired On: Peacock. Release Date: 03/05/26. Genre: Comedy. The Verdict: A Must-See John and Ted are back for more mischief in season 2 of this surprisingly effective prequel series. For a little background - the original Ted  from 2012 remains to this day one of my all time favorite comedies and its sequel remains an incredible disappointment. So when the prequel series was announced, I was excited for the return of my favorite teddy but also cautiously optimistic

Season One. [Premiere] Genre: Comedy. Seen for Slamdance Film Festival 2026. The Verdict: A Must-See The short form episodic series The Human, Will , is a beautiful celebration into the world of normalcy. From weird neighbors and inter-office romance, to encounters with InstaCart shoppers and survivalists hunting Bigfoot, creators Edward Bursch and Dave Niedoba find glitter in the carpeted corners of life. Truly, the “meh” becomes magical. Will is played by Will Sterbenz – f

Season One. [Episodes 1 - 2] Aired On: MGM+. Release Date: 03/01/26. Genre: Comedy. The Verdict: A Maybe Steven Spielberg once called movies “a moving miracle.” But the same should be said about theater. Because coordinating actors, their actions and everything in between in real time sounds impossible until you see it done. All that hard work, as well as the power and resiliency of theater get the spotlight in the new MGM+ series, American Classic .  It’s a story we’ve seen

Limited Series. [Episodes 1 - 3] Aired On: HBO Max. Release Date: 03/01/26. Genre: Comedy. Mystery. The Verdict: A Must-See DTF St. Louis  is a surreal comedy that delivers its humor with a sense of sincerity that makes it all the more hilarious. It’s terrifically timed, and its seriousness offers some of the best comedy in years. The series centers on a pair of married couples who discover a new dating app called DTF St. Louis in which individuals can meet others that are “

Season One. [Episodes 1 - 2] Aired On: CBS. Paramount+. Release Date: 03/01/26. Genre: Action. Crime. Drama. Western. The Verdict: A Maybe Expanding the world of Yellowstone was always going to be a challenge, particularly when shifting formats and expectations. With Marshals , Kayce Dutton steps into a new chapter that feels logically connected to his past while operating within a distinctly different framework. Across its first two episodes — “Piya Wiconi” and “Zone of De

Season Three. [Episodes 1 - 3] Aired On: Peacock. Release Date: 02/26/26. Genre: Game Show. Reality-TV. The Verdict: A Must-See Over the last few years I’ve really been diving deep into reality television and I’ve finally come around to House of Villains . While my form of reality television is just like this, in competition, I’m not familiar with about half of these contestants if they weren’t featured on Survivor , The Traitors , Love Island or The Challenge …  The house

Season Two. [Premiere] Aired On: Apple TV. Release Date: 02/27/26. Genre: Action. Adventure. SciFi. The Verdict: A Must-See Season One of Apple TV’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters  promised titanic kaiju action hitched to classic Kurt Russell one liners. And while the show delivered that in bursts, most of the season moved at a Godzilla-in-no-rush pace. Family drama across dual timelines soaked up screen time while Monarch tried to become the Legendary Pictures’ version of SHIE

Season Two. [Episodes 1 - 3] Aired On: Hulu on Disney+. Release Date: 02/23/26. Genre: Action. Drama. Thriller. The Verdict: A Must-See Season two of Paradise takes us outside of the bunker into a dystopian future that rivals the high emotions the first season brought out. The finale of season one took us on a wild ride from discovering who assassinated the President to Xavier setting off to find his wife on a personal aircraft and into the abyss of the unknown.  Episode on

Season Five. [Episodes 1 - 4] Aired On: Hulu on Disney+. Release Date: 02/21/26. Genre: Action. Comedy. Drama. Sport. The Verdict: A Must-See If I recall a review I wrote of an earlier season of this Canadian comedy, I stated that Letterkenny walked so Shoresy could run. Five seasons in, and this incredible spinoff continues to be innovative and fresh, while remaining familiar and sharp.  This new storyline raises the stakes, as all progressing seasons ought to do. Shores

Season Ten. [Season One - Revival] Aired On: ABC. Hulu on Disney+. Release Date: 02/25/26. Genre: Comedy. Drama. The Verdict: A Must-See Scrubs originally ran from 2001 to 2009 and was an enthusiastic look at the medical industry, with a bromance for the ages and chemistry amongst the cast that has lived on for decades. Now 17 years after the series closed on a bit of a downer, Scrubs has been resuscitated for another go.  When we meet up with J.D., he no longer works for S

Season Ten. [Episodes 1 - 6] Aired On: Netflix. Release Date: 02/11/26. Genre: Reality-TV. Romance. The Verdict: A Must-See This season is different, the contestants are factually more mature than previous years with only two contestants under the age of 30 and they all come from my home state of OH-IO… so maybe I am a little biased.  But in all honesty things six episodes in feel different, yes there’s still the occasional toxic relationship that gets air time but for the m

Season Two. Aired On: Crunchyroll. Release Date: 01/18/26. Genre: Adventure. Fantasy. The Verdict: A Must-See Every couple of years, there is an anime that ends up changing my life. Back in 2020, that anime was Cowboy Bebop - thanks in large part to its cast of wandering characters all learning to carry that weight. I watched Cowboy Bebop in my third year of university, after changing schools - and it hit like a ton of bricks. The animation style, the ever-changing cast, a
