Meltdown: Three Mile Island
This compelling nuclear disaster docuseries is also a character portrait of the moustachioed whistleblower who emerges as its hero: Rick Parks gets the bittersweet, rousing portrayal he deserves.

Made for Love: Season 2
Season two of the whip-smart sci-fi series quickly leaps into full Philip K Dick mode, spinning out each of its storylines in profoundly strange directions. And Cristin Milioti proves to be a captivating presence once again.

Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers
What Space Jam 2 should've been. The Lonely Island have made a worthy, witty successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but for Hollywood's contemporary obsession with IP.

Hacks: Season 2
Still acerbically funny as ever, season 2 of the odd-couple stand-up comedy delves deeper into its characters: their grief, flaws, queerness, and best of all, their begrudging friendship.

Shining Girls: Season 1
Once you get past the goofier aspects of the premise, this slickly put together series has a lot to give. As a mystery-based thriller, Shining Girls strikes a great balance, each episode drip-feeding just enough new information to keep you on the edge of your seat.

The Staircase
Taking its title from the wildly popular true-crime docuseries, this gripping dramatic saga spins an extraordinary new yarn with an incredible cast that blows the whole thing wide open once again.
