Critics Consensus:A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a welcome return to Westeros that works better in the buddy-comedy arena rather than solely slaying its competition.
Critics Consensus: A moody mystery whose questions are more interesting than its answers, His & Hers gets most of its rooting interest from Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson's riveting performances.
Critics Consensus: Caking on visceral splatter over an engaging takedown of modern beauty standards, Ryan Murphy's gonzo sci-fi horror is a disgustingly good time, even if its cultural commentary only goes skin deep.
Critics Consensus: Injecting a heavy dose of hormones and humor into the Star Trek universe, Starfleet Academy marks a refreshing tonal shift that proves this franchise still has plenty of new thematic territory to explore.
Critics Consensus: As much a buddy adventure as it is an espionage caper, Ponies' likable trot of a story gradually achieves full gallop thanks to Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson's tag-team charisma.
Critics Consensus: Though not the highest caliber of Agatha Christie adaptations, Seven Dials is a short and sweet dive into a mysterious rabbit hole that carries great performances and stylish verve.

Critics Consensus: Replaying the same formula in a new setting, Hijack's second season doesn't quite justify continuing a story that worked best as a one-off, but watching Idris Elba save the day remains a thrill.

Critics Consensus: Betting on its own adaptability after resetting the board and analyzing new market forces, Industry yields a handsome payout with this sterling fourth season.
