#1 What It Feels Like For A Girl, Season 1
4.8

The show’s themes run deeper than identity alone, tying trans experience to class, morality, trauma, forgiveness, and survival. It is strongest when it refuses easy answers.

Pros: genre satisfaction, main cast performance

Cons: family friendliness, violence level

#2 It's Not Like That, Chapter 1
4.7

Grief, faith, divorce, addiction, parenting, and second chances are explored with compassion and few easy answers. Some viewers found the sheer number of issues excessive.

Pros: season finale quality, screenplay quality

Cons: character consistency, continuity

#3 Invincible Season 4

Pros: finale satisfaction, continuity

#4 Young Sherlock, Season 1
4.0

The best thematic material comes from grief, family, loyalty, class differences, morality, and the diverging values that will eventually separate Holmes and Moriarty.

Pros: pilot episode quality, emotional impact

Cons: continuity, modern political framing

#5 Every Year After, Season 1
4.0

The show has its deepest footing when it focuses on regret, shame, first love, and second chances. Reviewers who respond to those themes see more than a simple teen romance.

Pros: directing quality, cinematography

Cons: character consistency, writing quality

#6 Steal, Season 1
3.5

The money, inequality, morality, and financial-activism themes give the thriller substance, although several reviewers think the show states its ideas too plainly or lets them disappear into chaos.

Pros: pilot episode quality, main cast performance

Cons: family friendliness, dialogue quality

#7 Spider-Noir, Season 1
3.1

Theme depth is uneven. The show gestures toward grief, responsibility, duality, racism, gender, and war trauma, but critics split on whether those themes become meaningful or remain stylish decoration.

Pros: plot twists, cliffhanger effectiveness

Cons: family friendliness, age appropriateness

#8 Elle, Season 1
2.5

Theme depth is mixed. The show clearly celebrates kindness, confidence, and feminine self-expression, but those ideas can feel less fresh or less nuanced than they did in the original film.

Pros: cast chemistry, bingeability

Cons: episode length, episode pacing
