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

Limited Series. Aired On: MGM+. Release Date: 02/01/26. Genre: Thriller. The Verdict: A Mistake Spread over a four episode arc, Vanished is a dangerously slow burn whose flame is snuffed out long before it ever reaches its conclusion.  Kaley Cuoco stars as Alice Monroe, a woman on vacation with her long distance partner Tom (Sam Claflin), a man who disappears suddenly while on a train travelling through France. From the moment Tom goes missing, anxiety is properly present a

Limited Series. Aired On: Disney+. Release Date: 01/27/26. Genre: Action. Adventure. Comedy. Fantasy. SciFi. The Verdict: A Must-See Wonder Man  is exactly the kind of show Seth Rogen’s character from The Studio  would pitch with delighted, manic fervor: “It’s a superhero show, but it’s also a 1970s prestige picture and a character study about two deeply flawed people who just want to change the world  – through the magic of film!” At its core, the series is basically a two-

Season Ten. Aired On: Netflix. Release Date: 01/21/26. Genre: Reality-TV. The Verdict: A Must-See After ten seasons, 81 episodes and only one new member of the Fab 5 in that time frame, the series has finally come to a bittersweet conclusion. Airing only five episodes this season to match the quantity of members of the core group and allow each episode to bookend with a farewell message about what Queer Eye has meant.  Sitting at only five episodes does come with some issue

Season One. Aired On: HBO Max. Release Date: 01/18/26. Genre: Action. Adventure. Drama. Fantasy. The Verdict: A Maybe Since the early days of television, successful series have often expanded beyond their original run, spawning spin-offs designed to extend their worlds and keep audiences engaged. Given the massive cultural impact and enduring popularity of Game of Thrones , it makes sense that HBO would look for additional ways to revisit Westeros by adapting another story s

Season Three. [Episodes 1 - 3] Aired On: Hulu on Disney+. Release Date: 01/13/26. Genre: Drama. The Verdict: A Must-See The show centered on the most toxic relationship to grace our televisions in years returns for season three on Hulu. And we aren’t complaining. Tell Me Lies is based on the book of the same name by Carola Lovering. The previous two seasons focused on the romantic relationship between Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen (Jackson White). Their shaky love con

Season Four. [Episodes 1 - 3] Aired On: Peacock. Release Date: 01/08/26. Genre: Game Show. Reality-TV. The Verdict: A Must-See Three episodes in and The Traitors remains one of the greatest reality competitions to ever exist. If you checked out last season, you should be very aware of the crazy shenanigans that went down and this season is already firing on all cylinders. Loaded with recognizable faces from the pop culture sphere that we live in from Survivor and Big Brot

Season One. [Episodes 1 - 4] Aired On: Paramount+. Release Date: 01/15/26. Genre: Action. Adventure. SciFi. The Verdict: A Maybe Now entering its celebrated 60th year, Star Trek  is boldly going… back to school. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy  aims to reboot the franchise with a new ship, a new captain, and a mostly new cast of faces still figuring out which end of a phaser goes pew-pew . The premise works. Holly Hunter (yes, that  Holly Hunter) plays Captain Nahla Ake, a half

Season Two. [Episodes 1 - 4] Aired On: HBO Max. Release Date: 01/08/26. Genre: Drama. The Verdict: A Must-See HBO Max’s The Pitt  arrived with a pulse and ended on an adrenaline spike. Season two may start a brand-new shift with the 7:00 AM sun, but explosions are about to ignite, especially on a certain day in early July. The Pitt  debuted to strong critical and viewer praise, not only for welcoming Noah Wyle back into the world of medical procedurals, but for recentering t

Season Five. Aired On: Netflix. Release Date: 12/31/25. Genre: Drama. Fantasy. Horror. SciFi. The Verdict: A Must-See “As if this goddamned place wasn’t heady enough,” one character says in Episode Four of the fifth season of Netflix’s culminating juggernaut Stranger Things . It’s no longer cool to like — or even admit you still watch — Stranger Things . The first season was almost universally adored, but many fans drifted after Season Two’s infamous “The Lost Sister” detour

Season Two. [Episodes 1 - 6] Aired On: Prime Video. Release Date: 12/16/25. Genre: Action. Adventure. Drama. SciFi. The Verdict: A Must-See The first season of Fallout , adapted from the popular video game RPG series, was a blast. It was a video game adaptation that understood the tongue-in-cheek humor and style of the video games while also never compromising genuinely exciting stakes and character drama. Not only giving us charming performances from newcoming Ella Parnell

'Landman' - Season 2 Review

Season One. Aired On: Apple TV. Release Date: 11/07/25. Genre: Drama. SciFi. The Verdict: A Must-See In Vince Gilligan’s much anticipated return to television post- Breaking Bad Universe, he delivers a thought provoking sci-fi mystery with centric themes of human behavior, civilization, unity and isolation. The show revolves around Carol (Rhea Seehorn), a successful but self loathing fantasy novelist, who is thrust into a peculiar situation akin to the most ‘chill’ alien in

Season One. Aired On: HBO Max. Release Date: 11/02/25. Genre: Comedy. The Verdict: A Must-See In the wake of predecessors like Girls and Broad City , I Love LA ditches the New York setting for an ensemble comedy series that’s more aligned with the likes of Netflix’s Love , or even a younger sister to Nobody Wants This .    Show creator Rachel Sennott plays Maia, who lives in Los Angeles as an aspiring talent agent with her sweet boyfriend Dylan (Josh Hutcherson). Maia’s

Season Four. Aired On: Paramount+. Release Date: 10/26/25. Genre: Drama. Thriller. The Verdict: A Must-See As a fan of the show since its debut in 2021, I was looking forward to the fourth season of Mayor of Kingstown yet also dreading it at the same time. In addition to being horrifically violent and dark, this show can manifest a feeling of systemic despair like no other I’ve seen, and last season dragged on a bit despite starting strong.   That said, season four may be t

Season Five. Aired On: Apple TV. Release Date: 09/24/25. Genre: Drama. Thriller. The Verdict: A Must-See Season 5, as with previous seasons — and as in Mick Herron’s novels — starts with a bang. A shooting, in fact. A brazen and deadly mass shooting. Yet this atrocity doesn’t unfold in London’s crowded streets, rather in the quieter, suburban sprawl of Abbotsfield in Derbyshire, southeast of Liverpool. A lone gunman opens fire until, in classic spy-story symmetry, he too is

Season One. Aired On: Netflix. Release Date: 09/19/25. Genre: Comedy. Horror. The Verdict: A Must-See As the temperatures drop and the leaves change, as we drift toward fall and spooky vibes, Netflix’s new animated series Haunted Hotel releases its first ten-episode season at the right moment. The show’s creator, Matt Roller, was a writer on the very popular and rather nihilistic show Rick and Morty . This new series is not as profane or graphic, but the inspiration for irr

Season Two. Aired On: Prime Video. Release Date: 09/17/25. Genre: Action. Adventure. Comedy. Drama. SciFi. The Verdict: A Must-See Spin-off shows live on the precarious edge, balancing justifying their existence and identity while not straying too far from the familiar source. The first season of Gen V , the spinoff to the wildly popular and often polarizing show The Boys , premiered two years ago. As an offshoot of the core Amazon Prime flagship series, Gen V stood well on

Season Two. Aired On: Netflix. Release Date: 09/03/25. Genre: Comedy. Crime. Fantasy. Mystery.  The Verdict: A Must-See Returning with notorious cello solos, leftover questions unanswered, new members of the Nevermore staff and more of the Addams Family than before, Wednesday is back for yet another morbid Nancy Drew mystery.    If there’s a safe thing to pull from the experience of season 2, it’s that this isn’t purely a Wednesday series any longer and allows the family to

Season Two. [Episodes 1 - 5] Aired On: HBO Max. Release Date: 08/21/25. Genre: Action. Adventure. Comedy. Crime. Fantasy. SciFi. The Verdict: A Must-See Peacemaker shouldn’t work. The character is basically a MAGA Captain America in a shiny toilet bowl helmet, spouting about peace while mowing down anyone who looks at him sideways. It’s a one-joke gag stretched across decades of DC obscurity. And yet – under James Gunn’s now trademark freakshow stewardship – this thing rock
