Reviews of pilot episodes.
First Impressions: Blockbuster (Netflix)
Netflix’s latest sitcom gets off to a rough start with an underwhelming first look at the (fictional) last Blockbuster in America.

Sam Levinson’s teen drama purports its provocative nature is revelatory; the reality, unfortunately, is that is more perfunctory and performative than it needs to be.
First Impressions: Now Apocalypse (Starz)
Gregg Araki’s horny, brash Starz series debuts with an impressive, if familiar, pilot episode.
First Impressions: Altered Carbon (Netflix)

First Impressions: Dr. Ken (ABC)
Dr. Ken is one of 2015’s worst pilots.
First Impressions: One Big Happy (NBC)
One Big Happy is the latest in a growing line of major comedy misfires from NBC.
First Impressions: Secrets and Lies (ABC)
ABC’s soapy new drama has a few intriguing elements, but they’re obfuscated by the overabundance of tropes and cliches.
