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.
First Impressions: Euphoria (HBO)
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)
Altered Carbon has a lot of promise and spectacle, held back by some poor character and world building.
First Impressions: Dr. Ken (ABC)
Dr. Ken is one of 2015’s worst pilots.
First Impressions: Moonbeam City (Comedy Central)
Moonbeam City is too familiar and half-baked to be worth investing in.
First Impressions: The Whispers (ABC)
The Whispers is yet another paint-by-numbers mystery, in a television landscape already rotten with them.
First Impressions: One Big Happy (NBC)
One Big Happy is the latest in a growing line of major comedy misfires from NBC.
First Impressions: American Crime (ABC)
ABC’s John Ridley-led miniseries has an unbecoming sense of self-importance its pilot can never quite shake.
