A criminal takes the opportunity to impersonate a sheriff and continues to be a criminal.
It fundamentally makes no sense how the character can fragrantly break the law.

2% of the global population disappears and everything continues on as usual probably.
Mediocre at best. Maybe something will happen later, but they sure as shit don't get anywhere near to some point. It's just a drama that stretches a premise.

A woman returns from the better part of a decade of disappearance with her vision and an unbelievable story.
Kinda interesting, although it's really out there. I wouldn't recommend it.

A prequel to Star Trek - (1966 show) but with canon revisionism.
Boss girls, shit exposition, sprinkled with wokeness, too many distractingly-ugly women.
Properly titled Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

A drama about a secret society of nerds? I don't know.
Fuck man, this show is utterly alien. It's Chinese, and this storytelling is just fucking terrible. I guess I'll wait for the American version.
Inspired by The Three-Body Problem - (2008 book), by Ken Liu

I watched a couple of episodes and shrugged.
I watched a couple of episodes somewhere in the beginning of 2023. It's decent, but I know it takes a fucking woke nosedive off of a Marxist cliff.

Synthetic humans are created, but once again philosophers weren't involved, and when some present intelligence and emotion they take umbrage at being slaves.
Adequate, but neither revelatory nor particularly interesting. Not particularly recommended except for people who like the general topic (which is why I made a tag for it).

Some annoying people are at a resort.
Features people, who are annoying. This makes a show which is annoying, and boring as fuck. I got two episodes in before throwing my hands up in disgust.
