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.
Murder of God’s Banker – Limited Series [2022]
Murder of God’s Banker is shocking to say the least. The documentary reveals a lot in a great pacing and some dramatization.
Ray Donovan – Season Four, Five, Six and Seven [2016 – 2019]
Ray Donovan goes through a great transformation with the second part of its seasons. The show finds its footing.
Shrinking – Season One [2023]
Shrinking was an extremely pleasant surprise that I didn’t expect to enjoy. Ted Lasso meets Dollface wrapped in extra sarcasm.
Unprisoned – Season One [2023]
Unprisoned is awkward, and not in a clever way. I really wanted to like the show, but it felt like a huge and boring TED talk.
Ray Donovan – Season One, Two and Three [2013 – 2015]
Ray Donovan grows on you. Like the titular character’s anger, the show gets better with each new season on Showtime.
Brando el Sharq – براندو الشرق – Season One [2023]
Brando el Sharq is a decent Lebanese series on MBC’s Shahid. But the dramady falls into familiar tropes that make it difficult to watch.
