  1. Beauty in Black

    Tyler Perry crafted another hit withBeauty in Black, his latest Netflix sensation. The prolific writer’s show introduces two women from different worlds — one makes her living as a stripper, while the other is a successful businesswoman — whose lives become intertwined. Of course, drama ensues.

    Decider’s Joel Keller writes, “Look, we get it; this is Perry’s idea of what this world is about. But we wonder if Perry was the right guy to write this kind of story. If the story were written by women, or perhaps not a media mogul who became a billionaire via Madea films and silly family sitcoms, there might be more subtlety to the story.”

    Decider’s Joel Keller writes, “The cast of Zero Day is the main reason why we’re going to keep watching, but the final moments of the first episode gave the story more intrigue than what we’ve seen from terrorism thrillers in the recent past.”

    Decider’s Joel Keller praised the series, writing, “Kate Hudson is the best part of Running Point, but Kaling and producers Elaine Ko, Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen have built a winning ensemble around her, with a story that’s not only a workplace comedy, but one about family, as well.”

    After premiering on FOX in 2001, being revamped on the USA Network in 2018, and most recently moving to Netflix, Temptation Island continues to keep reality TV watchers hooked. The series follows four couples, all of whom are tempted to cheat on each other while living separated in different villas.

    Decider’s Liz Kocan writes, ”I am absolutely certain thatTemptation Islandis going to shoot intoNetflix Top 10and people will be talking about it for days, but I’m also certain that I didn’t enjoy it. This is not fun, light entertainment; much of it feels sad (like, the part where all the contestants cry about having to split up), much of it feels mean (like, the parts where contestants constantly take jabs at each other which is sort of expected but goes on too long), and I can’t say I’m rooting for anyone to make it through this process unscathed.”

    Kreischer returns to Netflix with his fourth special, following Bert Kreischer: Secret Time (2018), Bert Kreischer: Hey Big Boy (2020), and Bert Kreischer: Razzle Dazzle (2023). Cloxking in at an hour and eight minutes, the special has Kreischer “recounting his blessings,” per the streamer’s description.

    Decider’s Sean L. McCarthy writes, “If you don’t really know Kreischer, then this most definitely is not the hour to introduce yourself to his comedy. If that’s you, and that’s why you clicked on this to begin with, then SKIP IT. This one’s really more just for his die-hard fans. The ones who take their shirts off with him. The ones who get it when Kreischer giggles, snorts and even sometimes shrieks in delight at his own jokes.”

    Adolescence, Stephen Graham’s four-part crime drama seamlessly shot with no cuts, has received a ton of positive reception. The chilling limited series follows 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who is accused of killing a girl at his school.

    Decider’s Joel Keller writes in our full review of Adolescence that “Adolescenceis a powerful story about what happens when a juvenile is accused of a serious crime like murder. It not only tells its story in a compelling way, but it shifts the viewer’s perspective often, from thinking Jamie is innocent, to thinking he’s guilty and back again.”
