Jacob Tremblay and Russell Crowe spar memorably at Harvard, but a flat FBI manhunt and easy answers sink this true-crime drama. Watch it for the performances, not the insight.
House of the Dragon promised a return to Westeros, a realm teeming with political intrigue and mythical creatures. While it undoubtedly delivered on the latter, the series struggles to recapture the magic of its predecessor, Game of Thrones.
The Mandalorian sets up in the unique world of George Lucas with its diverse species and planets.
