MONSTER: THE JEFFREY DAHMER STORY - SEASON ONE

While this new limited series is indeed chilling and sometimes hard to watch, Murphy and long-time collaborator Ian Brennan steer clear of the lurid, showing respect for the serial killer’s victims.

THE SECRET - SEASON ONE

The four-part drama tells the horrifying true story behind the devastating double murder of Lesley Howell and Trevor Buchanan more than 30 years ago. It’s an equally scary portrait of the community – devout to the point that religion becomes a cover to throw over serious evil and pretend it’s not happening. And where being shunned by or expelled from the congregation is considered a worse option than doing really bad stuff, like disobeying commandment number six.

THE RECRUIT - SEASON ONE

The Recruit has a somewhat addictive quality despite its flaws, propelled mainly by a decent level of intrigue and the lead's loveability. I had fun with it and breezed through the season without any regrets. However, by the finale, I was left wondering if what I had just watched amounted to anything truly memorable. As a binge-watcg, you could do worse.

THE WATCHER - SEASON ONE

Series creators Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy, inspired by a true story, turn the stacked cast into delicious characters. The casting is the best decision Ryan Murphy made because they manage to salvage the unsalvageable in a great mystery with a lousy ending. Still, a good binge-watch.

BLOCKBUSTER - SEASON ONE

A knock-off "Superstore" that just doesn't bite. Unfunny. Do not recommend.

THE 7 LIVES OF LEA - SEASON ONE

The 7 Lives of Lea is undoubtedly among the best teen dramas that I recently watched. The plot is quite simple, but how the story has been presented is beautiful. The series doesn’t believe in taking large jumps, and it takes you slowly on this journey.

HUMAN RESOURCES - SEASON ONE

If you’ve never seen “Big Mouth”, some of the humor may be lost on you, but if you’ve been waiting for this show since it was announced in 2019, then “Human Resources” does not disappoint.

THE SILENT SEA - SEASON ONE

Kind of reminds me of the Doctor Who Episode 'The Water of Mars'. The story plods along at such a deliberate pace that the audience has far too much time to consider the evidence and draw conclusions, sometimes hours before the characters have caught up.

KITZ - SEASON ONE

It's not that Kitz is a bad show; the stars are appealing and do a good job with the material. But it just feels like something that we've seen a hundred times, and it doesn't really tread any new ground.

CHOSEN - SEASON ONE

Chosen had a number of places to go with its story. It could have leaned heavily on the alien invasion piece, and/ or towards the teen-finding-her-people piece. Instead, it decided to go with the typical but totally unrealistic teenager not knowing her place in the world so decided to sleep around to achieve... something. SKIP!
