Sun-Soaked Critics’ Picks Spotlight an Uneven Yet Bold Summer TV
THR critics Daniel Fienberg and Angie Han survey a glossy, world-events–tinged summer TV season, crowning Furious as a standout while noting many beach-set IP adaptations are stylish but easily forgettable. They spotlight Sterling Point as a rare bright teen drama, weigh big IP bets like The Shards and The Vampire Lestat, and critique pacing on returns such as Ted Lasso and House of the Dragon, ultimately calling it a “Hot IP Summer” that’s visually lush and entertaining, if uneven in impact.
