#1
Critics Consensus: Stylistically bold and beautifully acted from top to bottom, Adolescence is a masterclass in televisual storytelling and a searing viewing experience that scars.
#2
Critics Consensus: Savvy enough to impress even the most studious of film buffs, The Studio fights the good fight for a better Hollywood while eliciting huge laughs at its expense.
#3
Critics Consensus: The Residence situates itself in the White House for a lighthearted murder mystery that won’t tax the brain, but Uzo Aduba’s eccentric sleuth brings a welcome level of sophistication to proceedings.
#4
Critics Consensus: Resurrecting Charlie Cox’s Daredevil with his virtues intact — namely Vincent D’Onofrio as his terrifying adversary — Born Again is an ambitious and at times ungainly crime saga that marks a mature tonal shift for the MCU.
#5
Critics Consensus: Masterfully managing its two halves of adroit character study and surreal nightmare, Severance‘s long-awaited sophomore season makes cognitive dissonance a mind-melting pleasure.
#6
Critics Consensus: Good American Family‘s ambitious use of perspective has some rewards, but it also makes for a lopsided and questionable dramatization of this sordid true story.
#7
Critics Consensus: Darker and more patient with its storytelling than previous seasons while brandishing a superb new ensemble full of acidic performances, The White Lotus‘ third season offers a spiritual respite that shivs the soul.
#8
Critics Consensus: Tom Hardy’s gruff charisma is put to good use in MobLand, a gangster saga that hardly reinvents the genre but nails its conventions with crunchy style and memorable performances.
#9
Critics Consensus: Cleverly plotted and a wonderful showcase for star David Mitchell’s brainy charm, Ludwig is a thoroughly pleasant mystery series that stays light on its feet.
#10
Critics Consensus: Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura might be punching below their weight with Dope Thief‘s derivative story, but that doesn’t stop them from making this thriller a riveting ride.
#11
Critics Consensus: The Wheel of Time‘s revolutions can be a bit creaky as it tries to stand out from other fantasy series, but it succeeds admirably in making Robert Jordan’s epic approachable for the uninitiated.
#12
#13
Critics Consensus: Muddying the waters of justice and adding droplets of blood for good measure, Invincible and its titular hero reach their prime with this epic third season.
#14
Critics Consensus: Dark Winds‘ third season tests Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn’s resolve more than ever before, providing the outstanding Zahn McClaron with some of his best material yet.
#15
Critics Consensus: Jack Reacher finally picks a fight with someone his own size in this crunchy third season, reliably doling out justice to foes and satisfaction to viewers.
#16
Critics Consensus: Teeming with heady concepts and themes, Paradise is an overstuffed but addictively ambitious reunion of Sterling K. Brown and creator Dan Fogelman.
#17
Critics Consensus: Annaleigh Ashford and Dennis Quaid have a memorable dynamic in Happy Face, but tonal uncertainty keeps this true crime thriller from measuring up to the high bar set by creators Michelle and Robert King’s previous work.
#18
#19
Critics Consensus: Setting the trials and tribulations of hospital life on a timer, The Pitt combines multiple tried-and-true formulas to create a bracingly fresh medical drama.
#20
Critics Consensus: The Righteous Gemstones takes a bow with plenty of heavenly inspiration left in the tank, delivering a riotous final season that goes out on a holy high note.
#21
Critics Consensus: Zero Day has plenty of gravitas thanks to its all-star cast led by Robert De Niro, but this high-concept series’ plotting is a little too goofy for it to take itself so seriously.
#22
Critics Consensus: Still at its very best when lost in the wilderness, Yellowjackets‘ third season is inescapably uneven but carried along effortlessly by its stronger elements.
#23
#24
Critics Consensus: An addictive mix of expressive animation, heady concepts, and an offbeat sense of humor, Common Side Effects is a must-have prescription.
#25
Critics Consensus: Harkening back to the classic sitcom formula while unafraid to have a contemporary, risqué sense of humor, Mid-Century Modern is endearingly old-fashioned.
