    Netflix has acquired even more broadcast favorites, making the long wait for some of them to return easier. We have great news for you. FOX's Murder in a Small Town is dropping both season 1 and season 2 on September 29. This gives you plenty of time to binge both before the cozy procedural returns mid-season on FOX. Murder in a Small Town brought back the blue-sky procedural, and executive producer Jeff Wachtel is an expert in the genre, having created several favorites, including Monk and Suit

    Who will win Wonka's The Golden Ticket, Netflix's wacky reality competition series? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Wonka's The Golden Ticket brought nostalgia to fans of "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory." Its colorful edible garden, chocolate river, and new games in Wonkavision 2.0 added to the fun. The singing Oompa Loompas were one of the best parts, especially Rusty Goffe, who appeared in the original film 55 years ago. He adds that extra bit of mischievous spice the competition needed.

    Crew Girl's love triangle worked because it veered away from old tropes (opens the original)

    Coach Hayden needs to return if Crew Girl gets renewed for season 2 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Netflix's Crew Girl premiered today, and it made waves as the first young adult series to feature rowing. It features everything you'd want in a young adult sports drama: messy team dynamics, an angsty love triangle, and a coach who actually cares about his team. I watch several sports dramas, and while some coaches are talented, few genuinely care about their players' well-being. I can only think of Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights or Coach Baker from All American. Coach Hayden (Thomas Cad

    Crew Girl beautifully highlights female empowerment, social class, and rivalries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Streaming fans have been well-fed when it comes to teen dramas this summer. If you wanted messy family drama with teenage angst, Netflix had My Life with the Walter Boys season 3. If adventure and revenge with your ride-or-die crew were more your style, then the final season of Outer Banks would be more your speed.
