| Shinichirō Watanabe | TV Series | 1998 | ★★★★★ | A classic, beautiful anime with understated dialogue, kinetic action, and a phenomenal 26 episode arc. |
| Adi Shankar | TV Series | 2025 | ★★★★☆ | You need to be a bit of a cornball. And a badass. If you're that combination of person, you may enjoy the animated series whether you played the games or not. |
| Sam Levinson | TV Series | 2019 | ★★★★★ | This is like if The Wire was more of a comedy and with less lofty, but equally poignant, ambitions. |

| Mike Makowsky | TV Series | 2025 | ★★★★★ | Garfield's improbable rise and his assassin's stranger arc. Macfadyen, Shannon, and Offerman at full tilt. |
| John Wilson | TV Series | 2020 | ★★★★★ | A New Yorker's archive of footage rebuilt as quasi-poetry about scaffolding, wine, and being alive. |
| Charles Yu | TV Series | 2024 | ★★★★★ | Tropes deployed expertly to tell something stranger than your typical fare. a season-one ending that refuses to settle |
| Dan Erickson | TV Series | 2022 | ★★★★★ | Excellent but the pedestal it is being held on (and potentially chasing) should be knocked down to size. |
