First Impressions: Common Side Effects (Adult Swim)

Adult Swim’s trippy conspiracy series is an early 2025 standout.

Clumsy and undercooked, The Hunting Party’s pilot is another forgettable new NBC drama… or is it?

CBS’s new medical drama takes an unnecessary connection to Sherlock Holmes and turns it into a semi-watchable new series (with a few caveats).

Apple TV+’s disappointingly straightforward math conspiracy thriller is full of lifeless characters and toothless mysteries.

Max’s Noah Wylie-led drama is the most driven, confident show of its kind in awhile – just don’t call it ER 2.0.

ABC’s new Tim Allen and Kat Dennings-led sitcom is stuck in first gear.

FOX’s latest medical drama is an underwhelming mélange of cliches, tropes, and missed opportunities.

FOX’s new Denis Leary military comedy gets off to a shaky, if intriguing, start.
