Directed By: Christopher Storer, Christopher Storer, Joanna Calo, Nate Matteson

Ms. Marvel: Season 1 (2022)
98%

The Umbrella Academy: Season 3 (2022)
90%

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Limited Series (2022)
83%

The Boys: Season 3 (2022)
97%

Adjusted Score: -1%

Directed By: Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver

The Old Man: Season 1 (2022)
94%

Adjusted Score: -1%

Westworld: Season 4 (2022)

Dark Winds: Season 1 (2022)
100%

#13

Peaky Blinders: Season 6 (2022)

God's Favorite Idiot: Season 1 (2022)
20%

#17

Adjusted Score: -1%

Critics Consensus: While it claims to have the Almighty's favor, this silver screen collaboration between Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone is too dunderheaded to win over everyday viewers.

The Handmaid's Tale: Season 4 (2021)
69%

#19

Adjusted Score: -1%

Critics Consensus: Elisabeth Moss is better than ever, but scattershot plotting and an overbearing sense of doom may prove too grim for some viewers to really enjoy The Handmaid's Tale's fourth season.

Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Joseph Fiennes, Yvonne Strahovski, Samira Wiley

Directed By: Warren Littlefield, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears, Ilene Chaiken

Loot: Season 1 (2022)
81%

#20
