An instant hit for Amazon, We Were Liars is character driven, showcasing the family dynamics in the wake of multiple tragedies and the secrets they hide from each other and themselves. The first half of the season has a dreamlike quality to it, narrated by Cadence as if she were telling a fantasy story about a princess who lived in a land of never-ending summer but it’s the second half that delivers everything from the show. There’s mystery, secrets, backstabbing and love that combine into a mystery with plenty of revelations and an ending that packs an emotional hit.

The third season of Ginny and Georgia promises a murder trial for the ages. Instead, we are given a never-ending trauma bonding of the teenage cast while the more compelling adult storylines are sidelined. This season promised a look into Georgia’s past, instead we are left suffering in the present with the teenage dramas.

The first half of the final season of You is the right amount of crazy absurd that fans have come to love. With it being the final season, it never takes itself seriously and leans fully into all the quirks and absurdities without shame and makes for an entertaining first half with plenty of twists, mayhem and manipulations.  Many times, the family drama plot can get messy, but it works perfectly for this season with the unhinged nature of what transpires between Joe and Anna Camp’s Lockwood twins, making her the standout of the season and a great foil for Joe.

Ransom Canyon had the making of a heartfelt, engaging drama but it juggles too many storylines. It offers beautiful visuals and the occasional compelling storyline, but it’s a project that was lost in its own ambition. Had it focused on the more compelling storylines with structure, it would have made it a much more interesting watch.

#1 Happy Family USA does lose focus despite its short run time and limited episodes. When it explores the Hussien family and does not get lost in guest stars, it’s at its strongest. Exploring the complex dynamics of a Muslim family at the height of islamophobia and making it into a satirical comedy is no easy feat. With more consistency with the episodic plots and guest stars that should have brought some energy to the series, #1 Happy Family USA could have been a secret hit.

The shining moment of the season two opener is Varada Sethu as new companion Belinda. She’s a great choice for a new companion, someone who calls The Doctor out on the danger he poses to the companions but is having a great time with him in the first episode. Spending the first episode of the new season focusing on Belinda is a great choice and she’s written in a way that makes you relate and root for her right off the bat .

Your Friends and Neighbours is one of the most surprising, effective, and energetic series to come out with much to be enjoyed and dissected.

The final season of The Handmaid's Tale is filled with confusing, inconsistent and rushed character arcs that highlights the pacing issues within the season, more so with the first five episodes. June and Serena Joy feel like they have overstayed their welcome while more dynamic characters are pushed to the sidelines.

Bounty hunter Hub Halloran (Kevin Bacon) comes back from the dead, resurrected with the instruction to track, trap and send escaped demons back to Hell otherwise he returns to the torturous fate. It’s a fun series with unique demon kills that never gets tired. In the eight-episode run there is never a dull moment. It's action packed, fun, gory and has heart with the potential to be another great series for Amazon if they renew. All characters are well developed and fun to watch but it is Kevin Bacon who brings more layers to Hub and delivers the cliffhanger of the series. 

Without Matt Bomer’s natural charm and charisma, Mid-Century Modern would be a loud, tired stereotype. There are some moments where the show makes some natural attempt at humour, but it fails to land especially when delivered and helmed by Nathan Lane. There’s no variety to the performance, if you’ve seen Lane in one thing then the same character will be in every scene with little to no difference. Linda Lavin is a great addition that lifts the show up with her quick wit and delivery and is a joy to watch with Nathan Lee Graham but the series feels like it drags on too long even with the short run of 10 episodes
