Lanterns follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UIBOsuUwc4 I am always happy when somebody makes another superhero series. We are supposedly suffering from superhero fatigue, but nobody claims we have detective fatigue, medical-drama fatigue or cooking-show fatigue. Add one glowing ring and suddenly hal

When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually

A reformed criminal is forced to confront her past and return to illicit activities for one final job, hoping to secure her freedom and leave her former life behind for good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAbT5qCTXR8 There is a special kind of optimism involved in naming a crime thriller Lucky. It is like naming your boat Unsinkable, your pit bull Cuddles. You are not choosing a title so much as issuing a challenge to the universe. Apple TV’s Lucky accepts that challenge, l

Debbie discovers that her friend of 20 years, Judith, is secretly an assassin. After a hit goes wrong, they go on the run while being targeted by a mysterious enemy, forcing them to confront the secrets between them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFGAxkTRAG8 Every long friendship has secrets.

Follows Lonnie Hawkins, 2004's top golfer, as he struggles to recapture his magic late in his career, refusing to believe he's anything other than one stroke away from golf's greatest comeback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSRJ6PXHx88 At some point, Will Ferrell must have wandered into a sporting-goods store, stared deeply into a display of discounted athletic equipment, and heard destiny whisper, “You must play every sport known to man.” Race-car driver? Done. Figure skat

Follows John Creasy, a wounded former mercenary on a quest to get revenge for the loss of his only companion while defending the daughter of his dead colleague from the forces that tore her family apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqpIKFUrLrk Every so often Netflix dusts off a familiar title and dares us not to compare it to the version already living rent-free in our heads. That's like opening a steakhouse next door to Peter Luger and saying, "Don't think about the othe

Ben Reilly, a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, is forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city's one and only superhero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u48_JpUloGY I am a huge Spider-Man fan, so when somebody tells me there is a new Spider-story starring Nicolas Cage in a fedora, I do not ask whether that sounds sensible. I ask what time to sit down and whether I should dim the lights like I am about

A skeptical mayor leads the superstitious residents of a cursed New England island. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmc2RYm6PUE I’ll tell you something right out of the gate: a good thriller is hard to find these days. Not “pretty decent.” Not “well, the algorithm shoved it at me and I was folding laundry anyway.” I mean a real thriller. One that creeps up on you, tightens the screws, and makes you lean forward like you’re trying to hear a confession through a church wall. Wi

A teen genius wakes up in a strange place full of children who got there the same way he did, and who all, like him, possess unusual abilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BcvAdfyL5Y So I sat down with The Institute because I’m helpless in the presence of a Stephen King adaptation and because the phrase “telekinetic kids in a shady facility” hits my brain the way a dinner bell hits a Labrador. Of course I was in. What could possibly go wrong? Other than the obvious answe

Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler fight to survive on their cherished 7,000-acre ranch amid tough times and stiff competition, while ensuring young Carter becomes the man he's supposed to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19I5a1tRt98 There are television franchises, and then there are television franchises that refuse to die the way horror villains refuse to stay buried. Dutton Ranch is the latest proof that the Yellowstone machine still has gas in the tank, and honestly, I don’t

A brilliant surgeon leaves Boston to become a doctor in the small town where he spent childhood summers. Despite his medical skills, his rude manner alienates locals as he battles hidden phobias and struggles with personal connections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4cDzG9iAms So I finally sat down with Best Medicine - the new Fox dramedy that takes the beloved British crank-doctor formula, gives it a shiny American haircut, and drops it on the East Coast like a lobster pot

A comedy revolving around an author's intricate bond with his daughter, set against the backdrop of a college campus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L00r5BGgP64 I started watching this one thinking....“Okay, here we go: another show set on a college campus where everyone talks like they’re auditioning for a TED Talk titled ‘My Trauma, My Truth, My Beige Sweater’.” But then the series does something shockingly un-trendy: it remembers to be a comedy. An actual, honest-to-goodn

A New York family's life unravels after a tragedy; they process their grief while vacationing in rural Montana, where they explore human connection amid their profound sorrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSb-X_YkLg4 I started watching The Madison thinking I was signing up for one of those “pretty-people problems in pretty-people places” situations - like the TV equivalent of ordering a salad and then watching the waiter shave truffles onto it. What I didn’t expect was to

Ex-Navy SEAL Kayce Dutton leaves Yellowstone Ranch to join U.S. Marshals, using his cowboy and military skills to fight crime in Montana while dealing with family ties and the mental toll of law enforcement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq-Im7dniPI There are two types of people in this world: folks who watch Yellowstone… and folks who pretend they don’t but somehow know exactly who Beth Dutton is. I fall squarely in the first category. So when I heard that Kayce Dutton was
