Sweet Tooth: Season 1
Matching childlike wonder with darkly compelling ideas, Netflix's lush apocalyptic series is big, beautiful and addictive. (Netflix)
Bo Burnham: Inside
An impressive achievement: a year of lockdown spent making an acclaimed "comedy" special by himself in one room (directing, writing, filming, editing, and starring) capturing life under COVID and broader topics like... 'White Woman's Instagram'. (Netflix)
Domina: Season 1
Lending a patriarchal tale a much-needed modern spin, this ancient Rome-set series is a potent blend of sex, power and revenge. (Neon).
The Underground Railroad: Season 1
Superbly acted and shot with painterly compositions, Barry Jenkins’ adaptation of a best-selling novel is harrowing but fascinating. (Prime Video)
Starstruck: Season 1
Rose Matafeo charms it up as a Kiwi in London in this funny, sweet BBC series, with more than a passing nod to British romcoms. (TVNZ)
Mare of Easttown: Season 1
HBO's best series in a while. A page-turning crime-drama with Kate Winslet as a Philadelphian detective balancing a murder case and a car crash of a personal life. (Neon)
Shrill: Season 3
Aidy Bryant's dark-ish comedy turns an unflinching eye on modern life’s ugliest moments and responds with grace and humour. (Neon)
