"The Pentaverate" is simultaneously silly and pointless, and a welcome return to form for its star.

The first "Super Pumped" installment approaches its ripped-from-the-headlines story correctly, and Gordon-Levitt is great.

It's intriguing, and worthwhile for audiences in search of something genuinely different. Whether that can be sustained over the course of an entire series of television remains an open question.

"We Are Lady Parts" captures the spirit of punk rock in a way that's both entertaining and resonant.

In short, "Sweet Tooth" exemplifies the best of what fantasy storytelling can be, creating a whole world without ever forgetting that the most important one of all is our own.

Aduba's episode stands out among the first four episodes of "Solos," which collectively illustrate how difficult it is to pull off single-character drama on-screen.

The makers of "Them: Covenant" ask their audience to endure scenes of horrific abuse that are unearned by their broader framework.

The first two parts of "Tell Me Your Secrets" are certainly engaging in a potboiler sense, but it's not at all clear that its makers can keep it up for 10 episodes.

This is a handsome, lavish romance that will appeal to a large audience, but it's also painstakingly insubstantial.

Parents looking to share their "Star Wars" love with their children should add this to the list. It's not essential viewing for anyone else.

The first few episodes of "Truth Seekers" are somewhat disappointing, but the acting is strong and there's potential for improvement.

The first two episodes of "The Right Stuff" offer a lot of promise, but the characters other than John Glenn need to be more fully developed.

It's all very exhausting. This is a terrible show. Avoid it at all costs.

"Away" should be much better than it is, squandering a fascinating subject on pedestrian family drama.

The rigid adherence to the recurring segments means Animal, Fozzie Bear and many other staples barely show up, while a lot of attention is paid to the rather unsettling "Okey Dokey Kookin," in which the turkey host gobbles excitedly over dishes featuring chicken and pork and the Swedish Chef wraps a Muppet mole (yes, the mammal) in a tortilla.

The series works best as a clinical dissection of how this happened both from a conceptual standpoint in terms of formulating the case and piecing the puzzle together, and from a practical one. ... The documentary feels perilously thin for such a rich subject. "Fear City" would benefit from being longer and more in depth than just three episodes.

It's rather painful to report that the series itself is just not very good, playing like an infomercial without any sort of deeper engagement with the subjects at hand.

"The Great" is an engaging historical satire that resonates thanks to its vision of courtly debauchery and the tremendous acting by Fanning, Hoult and the rest of the cast.

Don't miss this series, with its first-rate performances and impeccable filmmaking. It is rich and rewarding, even if it runs into the occasional plotting issue.

"Upload" is a misfire for the great Greg Daniels, a high-concept series that plays like a bad sitcom.

A compelling series in fits and starts that doesn't amount to much more than a trip through an extremely strange world filled with extremely strange people.

"Unorthodox" is an achievement of searing power and grace, attuned to big, sweeping emotions and small, observational moments in equal measure. ... This is one of the major achievements in the history of Netflix original productions. You cannot miss it.

The creators of this "High Fidelity" TV series fail to expand on the material to the point where 10 episodes can be sustained.
