    Beyonce: Life Is But a Dream: Season 1
    Life Is But A Dream in reality doesn't give all that much. Still, it's a watchable film for those who just can't get enough of a pop music jewel to behold who's still just 31 and likely not even in her prime yet.
    • Metascore: 59
    • Ed Bark 67
    Being Human: Season 1
    All in all it's a pretty deft mix of violence, pathos and ethos via a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost as roomies.
    • Metascore: 59
    • Ed Bark 67
    Fairly Legal : Season 1
    [Sarah Shahi] plays this lead role with assurance and aplomb, elevating the entire enterprise in the process.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Ed Bark 67
    Chaos: Season 1
    Chaos can be amusing in spots, although it's hard to envision it as a long-distance runner. It might be housing a breakout star, though [in James Murray].
    • Metascore: 57
    • Ed Bark 67
    Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals: Season 1
    Damned if it doesn't pretty much work. The O'Neals are still quite a duo, whether they end up staunching a lot of those old wounds or opening new ones.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Ed Bark 67
    Wilfred: Season 1
    In the end, all of this may amount to little more than a one-trick dog and pony show. But Gann can be irresistibly gross at times while Wood is good at being hapless. Together they sometimes make quite a comedy team. Almost as good as Turner & Hooch.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Ed Bark 67
    Hart of Dixie: Season 1
    It goes down pretty easy if you'd like to set down for a spell with a disarmingly pleasant little down-home melodrama.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Ed Bark 67
    Same Name: Season 1
    It all comes out pretty well in the wash. Same Name gets fairly close to sealing the deal on the idea that celebs can learn something from just plain folks.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Ed Bark 67
    Suburgatory: Season 1
    For now, Levy is an OK mix of insolence and vulnerability, Hines is her usual hoot and Sisto shows signs of being nimble on his feet in an arena where he's still learning the ropes.
    • Metascore: 42
    • Ed Bark 67
    How to Be a Gentleman: Season 1
    This is a comedy with a solid core group of characters and a chance to go the distance.
    • Metascore: 57
    • Ed Bark 67
    Unforgettable: Season 1
    It's not a great series, but it looks to be a solidly commercial one.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Ed Bark 67
    The Exes: Season 1
    Its hip replacement is a cast that's been around the block and knows how to act accordingly.
    • Metascore: 58
    • Ed Bark 67
    The Finder: Season 1
    All in all, this is a light-hearted series that also looks as though it's going to be light-headed in terms of basic story construction.
    • Metascore: 68
    • Ed Bark 67
    Bent (2012): Season 1
    Bent ends up being worth watching for the recurring grins it provides. Just don't expect to ever know what happens to any of its main characters.
    • Metascore: 54
    • Ed Bark 67
    Common Law: Season 1
    In the grand USA scheme of things, it's pretty much same old, same old. But that's still a workable recipe.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Ed Bark 67
    Saving Hope: Season 1
    Its characters are comparatively compelling even when they're falling a little short.
    • Metascore: 52
    • Ed Bark 67
    Final Witness: Season 1
    Final Witness has more texture and bite than most of TV's myriad explorations of the true crime realm.
    • Metascore: 66
    • Ed Bark 67
    Go On: Season 1
    Go On obviously won't be off the charts ratings-wise, as Friends was for most of its run. It might settle in, though, with Perry still a solidly capable comedic actor looking to nest a while.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Ed Bark 67
    Ben & Kate: Season 1
    Ben and Kate can be a bit grating and certainly isn't all together great. But its small ensemble--which also includes Ben's pal, Tommy (Echo Kellum)--is clicking pretty well for starters.
    • Metascore: 47
    • Ed Bark 67
    Emily Owens, M.D.: Season 1
    Gummer's a gamer, investing her lead character with smarts, compassion and no small amount of discombobulation. She injects the ordinary with her own unique prescription brand pick-me-ups, making Emily Owens bearable when it's not fully embraceable.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Ed Bark 67
    Partners (2012): Season 1
    Urie's mostly a hoot, with his inflections infectious and his comedy timing a thing of beauty. Krumholtz offers sturdy enough support, but his co-star does most of the heavy lifting.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Ed Bark 67
    Arrow: Season 1
    Arrow may not be a-point-ment television. But for starters at least, it's a sharper little tale than expected.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Ed Bark 67
    Chicago Fire: Season 1
    This seems like a serviceable drama that merits a bit better ladder grade (heh-heh) for an improved second hour.
    • Metascore: 54
    • Ed Bark 67
    SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden: Season 1
    It's a decently made but hardly exceptional movie without any high wattage star power but with a few familiar faces.
    • Metascore: 66
    • Ed Bark 67
    Mankind: The Story of All of Us: Season 1
    Stuck on hyper-drive and stuffed with hyperbole, Mankind: The Story of All of Us is history a-go-go from a programmer that used to obey a few speed limits.
    • Metascore: 66
    • Ed Bark 67
    Cougar Town: Season 4
    Cougar Town remains amusing in fits and spurts.
    • Metascore: 62
    • Ed Bark 67
    The Following: Season 1
    This is a genuinely scary and unsettling series.
    • Metascore: 56
    • Ed Bark 67
    Motive: Season 1
    It’s a reasonably involving series made better by the chemistry between the two leads.
    • Metascore: 61
    • Ed Bark 67
    The Goodwin Games: Season 1
    Goodwin Games isn’t an Olympian comedy but it’s by no means an out-and-out clunker either.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Ed Bark 58
    Lost Girl: Season 1
    Lines like ""Did you feel that? It was like the Fourth of July in my mouth." help to make Lost Girl see-worthy without taking it to the level of must-see.
