#1 Young Sherlock, Season 1
4.8

Performance quality is a major strength overall, with the ensemble repeatedly called superb, phenomenal, fantastic, or assured despite a few sharply negative takes on the leads.

Pros: pilot episode quality, emotional impact

Cons: continuity, modern political framing

#2 What It Feels Like For A Girl, Season 1
4.7

Acting quality is consistently strong across the ensemble. Howard gets the loudest praise, but the wider cast is also described as top-notch, specific, and full of energy.

Pros: genre satisfaction, main cast performance

Cons: family friendliness, violence level

#3 It's Not Like That, Chapter 1

The cast is one of the clearest strengths, with customers repeatedly praising believable performances. A small minority found the acting poor or disliked specific casting choices.

Pros: season finale quality, screenplay quality

Cons: character consistency, continuity

Pros: plot twists, cliffhanger effectiveness

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#6 Every Year After, Season 1
4.0

Acting reactions are mostly positive but not unanimous. Several reviewers praise the casting, subtle choices, and performances, while a few call certain scenes flat or emotionally underplayed.

Pros: directing quality, cinematography

Cons: character consistency, writing quality

#7 Elle, Season 1
3.7

The performances are generally stronger than the writing. Minetree’s charm and precision draw praise, though some moments feel closer to a Reese Witherspoon echo than a fully independent take.

Pros: cast chemistry, bingeability

Cons: episode length, episode pacing

#8 Steal, Season 1
2.9

The acting is uneven: one episode review calls Sophie Turner the weak link, while another praises the actors’ expressive non-verbal work and a different critic celebrates the show’s great acting.

Pros: pilot episode quality, main cast performance

Cons: family friendliness, dialogue quality
