Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies – Season One [2023] on Paramount+
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is clearly trying to modernize the original movie while acting as a prequel. Is it fun? Yes.
Catching Lightning – Documentary Series [2023] on Showtime/Paramount+
Catching Lightning might not be the best documentary, but the robbery is interesting enough for you to watch this limited series.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – Season 5 [2023] on Prime Video
Mrs. Maisel wraps up an incredible series on Amazon Prime Video with a good final season. Not a great one.
Ted Lasso – Season Three [2023] on AppleTV+
Ted Lasso on AppleTV+ thankfully ends with this season three. The show outlived its potential and its cheesy dad jokes.
Citadel – Season One [2023] on Prime Video
Citadel left me in disbelief. An overpriced and overextended pilot with great stars and a high budget that goes nowhere.
Ghosts (US) – Season Two [2023] on CBS/Paramount+/GlobalTV
Ghosts (the US version) on CBS might not be a new show anymore, but it certainly kept it fresh with season two.
CSI: Vegas – Season Two [2022] on CBS/Paramount+/GlobalTV
CSI: Vegas got away from what made the first season a mixed bag. But the push for a “season arc” made the second outing disappointing.
Salon Zahra – صالون زهرة – Season Two [2022]
Season two of Salon Zahra on Shahid is forced. Yes, it’s fun, but lots of filler makes it feel a bit lost and imbalanced.
Perry Mason – Season Two [2022] on HBO/Crave Canada
Perry Mason gets himself into another complicated case with great writing, and even better actors. Can’t wait for HBO to renew the show.
The Mandalorian – Season Three [2023]
Did we really need a new season of The Mandalorian? Not really. Did I enjoy the third outing from the Star Wars franchise? Mostly yes.
Star Trek: Picard – Season Three [2023]
The final season of Star Trek: Picard is what the show should have been all along. Yes, it’s not perfect, but it is almost there.
Tiny Beautiful Things – Limited Series [2023]
Tiny Beautiful Things will hit you when you’re the least expecting it. The Hulu series is a hidden gem with amazing performances.
Salon Zahra – صالون زهرة – Season One [2021]
Salon Zahra represents the new wave of Lebanese series. Funny with a cause (that is not war), visually fresh, and certainly well produced.
