★★★★☆
Because This Is My First Life is a Korean contract-marriage rom-com that treats rent, careers and thirty-something doubt as seriously as love. It is wry and moving.
Yes, with reservations. It suits viewers who want a grown-up, low-key romance about money, marriage and work, though its slow pace and deadpan hero need patience.
★★★★½
Blossoms Shanghai is Wong Kar-wai's first TV series, a lush 30-episode saga of money, love and memory in 1990s Shanghai, anchored by a magnetic Hu Ge.
★★★★½
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast is Lisa McGee's eight-episode Netflix comedy-thriller, in which three old friends reunite for a funeral that spirals into murder.
★★★★☆
Ishq Murshid is a breezy Pakistani romance in which a wealthy young man hides his identity to win the woman he loves, lifted by Bilal Abbas Khan's charm.
★★★½☆
Kampung People is a warm Malaysian comedy about a city family hidden in a village under witness protection, gentle and specific even when the jokes run thin.
★★★½☆
Light the Night is Netflix's glossy Taiwanese period mystery about women running a hostess bar in 1980s Taipei, rich in atmosphere but heavier on melodrama as it goes.
★★★★☆
Meri Zindagi Hai Tu is a 34-episode Pakistani romance pairing Bilal Abbas Khan and Hania Aamir as lovers tested by deception. Big on chemistry, heavy on melodrama.
★★★★☆
Minning Town is a 2021 Chinese drama about Ningxia villagers resettled in the desert with help from Fujian. A state-backed story told with real human warmth.
★★★½☆
Nur is a two-season Malaysian romance about faith, redemption and community judgement, a compulsive and controversial melodrama that made its leads household names.
★★★★½
Parizaad is a Pakistani Urdu drama about a poetic outsider judged by his looks and his class, turned into something soulful by Ahmed Ali Akbar's lead performance.
★★★☆☆
Tira is an eight-episode Indonesian superhero series from the Bumilangit universe, an ambitious streaming bet on local comics whose effects and pacing often wobble.
★★★★☆
2gether: The Series is a 13-episode Thai BL rom-com about a fake campus relationship, and its sincerity and lead chemistry outweigh a very familiar formula.
★★★★☆
3 Body Problem is Netflix's ambitious adaptation of Liu Cixin's first-contact novel: gripping as a science mystery, thinner as a drama about its young scientists.
★★★★½
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms shrinks Westeros to a hedge knight, a sharp young squire and a tourney, and it is the warmest, most humane Game of Thrones spin-off yet.
★★★★★
Adolescence films each of its four episodes in one unbroken take, and the technique is the point: a British crime drama that traps viewers inside a family's catastrophe.
Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia →★★★★☆
After Life is Ricky Gervais's dark comedy about a widower who decides to say whatever he likes; it is blunt, sentimental and often genuinely moving about grief.
★★★★☆
Agent Kim Reactivated is a Korean action thriller about a quiet single father whose black-ops past resurfaces when his daughter vanishes, anchored by So Ji-sub.
★★★★½
Alchemy of Souls is the Hong sisters' lavish Korean fantasy about an assassin trapped in a servant's body, a funny, romantic epic whose first part is close to perfect.
★★★★☆
Alice in Borderland drops a drifting young gamer into an emptied Tokyo run by lethal games; it is a slick Japanese survival thriller with real emotional stakes.
★★★★☆
Alif is a Pakistani spiritual romance about a man torn between worldly ambition and faith; slow and polarising, it is lifted by mood and Sajal Aly's performance.
★★★★☆
All of Us Are Dead traps a Korean high school class inside a zombie outbreak; it is brutal, gripping teen horror, though its long episodes stretch the siege thin.
★★★★★
Andor rebuilds Star Wars as an adult political thriller about surveillance, prison labour and radicalisation, and it is the finest drama the franchise has produced.
★★★★☆
Angry Mom sends a former teenage brawler back to high school to protect her bullied daughter, a K-drama that starts as comedy and grows into a sharp school drama.
★★★★★
Arcane turns League of Legends into a painterly animated tragedy about two sisters split by a city's class divide, and it is one of the best series of its decade.
