Witches return from wherever and chase some kids who foil their plans to stay.

Big meh. It’s absolutely made for kids; it’s over-the-top pointlessness.

For some reason the Big Bad is waking up and some villagers are implicated in helping/hurting his/its/their/xur’s plans to do something to the world, or something.

This show is lacking from so many directions. It’s watchable, but irks me in ways I don’t want to sit down and think about long enough or I’ll get mad. You know what? I’m just going to start judging shows on if they have good looking women. Any, and if they are boss girls.

A disabled person is welcomed into a community which turns on him after a series of misunderstandings.

Pretty wholesome, although it stops making sense nearing the end. A good enough watch.

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.

In future with a colonized galaxy, a mad scientist develops an evolving quantum computer which he believes proves determinism and prediction of the collapse of civilization.

It started interesting, but dove into too many plotlines, timelines, and characters, and then space-wizards. I find it predictable and tedious, and I’m constantly nagged at there being zero good looking women, just passable persons of pigment hired for The Message.

A lawyer can’t lie, and goes insane because it’s Jim Carrey.

It’s Jim Carrey as himself, so you have to cope with the idiocy. It’s okay in that context but it’s not for me.

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 man regrets the wedge between himself and his son, and tries to apologize. Or something.

It’s definitely on-par with the first, and worth the watch if you like the other.
