BABY - SEASON ONE
Baby is neither proudly trashy enough to completely own a status as guilty pleasure, nor nuanced enough to get by on quality.
HALF BAD - SEASON ONE:
More shows should swing this big because even with the rough edges, it makes for a much more engaging and, frankly, fun watch.
COME HOME - SEASON ONE
Everyone behaves so inconsistently, it's like they had personality transplants between different scenes; the tone is equally erratic. We need to know more about Marie for Come Home to swim fully into focus.
CLEANING UP - SEASON ONE
The six episodes this is stretched to are full of holes. Yet the silliness is rather enjoyable to watch. It's an entertaining concept, but much of it was laughably unlikely.
THE CHOSEN ONE - SEASON ONE
The Chosen One's biggest problem is that it is trying extremely hard to be mysterious and grounded and it downplays itself and its supernatural premise. Patience is needed to get through this series, even if the latter half keeps you engaged...
ONE DAY - SEASON ONE
It is hard to stress just how good both Woodall and Mod are here. Emma is instantly likable even with her Angela Chase neuroses, while Woodall has the slightly more difficult task of playing an arrogant cad with whom we are still smitten. This is a rom-com at its most delightful: warm, witty, and occasionally, quite devastating. Also, it must be mentioned, the soundtrack rips...
FROM - SEASON ONE
...It does feel like the show hangs a carrot at the end of a stick that you'll never get to eat, and ultimately, the series is so much more intriguing. The horror is real -- and it gets real gory -- but this is no simple splatterfest. Series creator John Griffin has built his world meticulously, and all his characters have their own fraught back stories and their own personal demons.
BABY REINDEER - SEASON ONE
Baby Reindeer is darker than dark, a lot, and some of it makes me nervous: should Donny's self-lacerating confessionals share equal billing with the stalking? Still, what a vivid watch!
SPECTROS - SEASON ONE
Watched it so you don't have to. SKIP IT. Spectros feels like a show that has a lot to say, but fumbles the ball as it tries to scare its audience. We’ll give this to the doll. It doesn’t move but it’s still one of the scariest things in the first episode.
THE RAIN - SEASON ONE
It's a damp squib, not a downpour.
