#1 MobLand, Season 2
5.0

Harry’s competence and insight make him unusually easy to root for, while the broader cast is praised as compelling even when the characters are morally awful.

Pros: story quality, entertainment value

Cons: season pacing, visual style

#2 Avatar: Seven Havens
4.8

Pavi’s compassion, odd habits, and resilience make her an immediate favorite for many viewers. The twins and allies are broadly appealing, though occasional whining and tantrums can irritate.

Pros: visual style, suspense

Cons: episode pacing, season pacing

#3 Colin From Accounts, Season 3
4.4

The characters are broadly loved for their messy eccentricity, though one critic notes Gordon and Ashley can still be immature and selfish.

Pros: humor, writing quality

#4 Lioness, Season 3
4.0

Oleksandra grows more appealing as the season progresses, particularly as her usefulness and ambiguity become clearer. Her uncertain loyalties give the story a character viewers can become invested in without...

Pros: action quality, main cast performance

Cons: dialogue quality, episode structure

#5 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Season 4
4.0

Una is described as solid, charismatic, and capable of making difficult situations feel manageable.

Pros: entertainment value, humor

Cons: genre satisfaction, story quality

#6 Golden Axe
3.7

Flawed, foolish heroes become lovable company for many viewers, especially as friendships develop. Hampton’s appeal varies, and critics of the trailer dislike how its heroes are redesigned and portrayed.

Pros: humor, faithfulness to source material

Cons: visual style, tone consistency

#7 The Varnell Hill Show
1.0

For skeptical viewers, Varnell’s ego is off putting and his earlier role as a Martin antagonist makes him difficult to root for.

Pros: guest appearances, acting quality

Cons: humor, fourth-wall narration
