THE LAST OF US - SEASON ONE

It was somewhat worrying that the series' first display of true greatness was a standalone story that barely featured our main characters... but it stays consistently good to excellent throughout.

BLOOD AND WATER - SEASON ONE

Anchored by up-and-coming filmmaker Nosipho Dumisa and her crop of talented young, local actors, the refreshing mystery series proves the best teen dramas are not from America.

TITANS - SEASON ONE

The production design looks cheap, the fight scenes perfunctory and forgettable, and Starfire is the only lead character in the initial episodes to make much of an impression at all.

THE BREAK - SEASON ONE

Is this a reflection of police procedure in Belgium? More like a racist Keystone Kops.

THE HANDMAIDEN'S TALE - SEASON FOUR

The Handmaid's Tale is a haunting confluence of tenses. It's also one of the best shows of all time, at times hard to watch but impossible to ignore.

THE WOMAN IN THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GIRL IN THE WINDOW - SEASON ONE

The show is so concerned with trying to be something that it ends up being nothing; it's neither clever or captivating.

THEM - SEASON ONE


The horror may traumatize, and that doesn't make it bad or unworthy of your attention. But the downside of 'Them' is that it does not truly care about Black people. It only knows how to wring terror from the pain we experience.

INTO THE NIGHT - SEASON ONE

Into the Night has no pretensions at being anything other than an "End of Days" disaster movie, but boy is it a mess. No rules, no sense, plenty disappointment.
