71% 78%

#3

#7

Adults: Season 1

#8

The Last of Us: Season 2

#11

The Eternaut: Season 1
95% 89%

#11

Critics Consensus: Grounded by layered performances and a foreboding pace, The Eternaut is a post-apocalyptic adventure that derives its thrills from character as much as it does set pieces.

#12

Your Friends & Neighbors: Season 1
80% 80%

#13

MobLand: Season 1
75% 77%

#13

Critics Consensus: Tom Hardy's gruff charisma is put to good use in MobLand, a gangster saga that hardly reinvents the genre but nails its conventions with crunchy style and memorable performances.

#17

The Rehearsal: Season 2
98% 94%

#17

Critics Consensus: Never fear, Nathan Fielder is here to solve air travel safety and further his frustrated quest for human connection in a second Rehearsal that's just as audacious, cringey, and uproariously funny as the first.

#21

The Four Seasons: Season 1
78% 59%

#21
