#2
Critics Consensus: While Geralt of Rivia gets a new face, The Witcher overall is beginning to grow stale in a fourth season that dutifully sets up the series' endgame without having enough fun along the way.
#3

81%
62%
#3
Critics Consensus: A twisty mystery that grows more addictive as it unfolds, Down Cemetery Road is tonally imbalanced but has a steadfast center of gravity in Emma Thompson's flinty star turn.
#4
The Chair Company: Season 1
100%
81%
#4

97%
75%
#10
Critics Consensus: Elevating both the geopolitical and personal stakes while remembering to have fun, The Diplomat goes from strength to strength throughout its dishy third season.
#11
Slow Horses: Season 5
96%
83%
#11
Critics Consensus: Slow Horses loosens the reins in a more lighthearted season that doesn't quite measure up to the series' high bar, but it still excels as one of the most compulsively watchable offerings on television.
#12
Black Rabbit: Limited Series
67%
82%
#12
Critics Consensus: Elegantly plated but over-seasoned with grit, Black Rabbit's unrelenting edginess can be off-putting but Jason Bateman and Jude Law's committed performances make for a satiating enough meal.
#14
Wayward: Season 1
78%
46%
#14
Critics Consensus: An eerie mystery that eschews easy answers, Wayward can occasionally feel as listless as its title, but surprising twists and Toni Collette's committed performance keep this thriller intriguing.

#21
I Love LA: Season 1
83%
56%
#21
Critics Consensus: An irreverent and self-referential comedy speaking to Gen Z existentialism, I Love LA is equal parts funny and cringe thanks to creator Rachel Sennott's absurdist sensibility.
#23
Chad Powers: Season 1
58%
83%
#23
Critics Consensus: Pairing Glen Powell's charms with a frequently off-putting role, Chad Powers throws comedic curveballs that often backfire but don't necessarily strike out entirely.
