🎬 2025 TV Series: Top New Releases You Can't Miss

You know, I spent almost an entire month in front of the TV watching new releases. My wife even threatened divorce, but it was worth it! Here are my honest, uncensored impressions — without the boring clichés all the websites use.

Why this particular selection? Because I actually watched every series from start to finish. I didn’t just read the description, I actually sat down and watched. Sometimes even with popcorn.

Dept. Q (2025)

Here’s the first series — “Dept. Q.” You watch the first five minutes and think, “Oh, another gloomy detective with trauma.” But then you realize Matthew Goode plays his role so vividly that you start empathizing with his character. He works in a former restroom, solving cold cases! And that Akram from Syria… I never figured out until the end if he was good or bad. And that’s awesome!

Why should you watch it? Because it’s not just a detective story — it’s a story about people trying to find themselves among old cases. And the humor is so dark it sometimes gets awkward.

Dying for Sex (2025)

This series really shocked me. You know, when you get diagnosed with cancer, you start living differently. Michelle Williams’ performance is incredible. She isn’t searching for some philosophical meaning, she just wants to feel alive. And her friend Nikki… Honestly, I cried in two places. Not because it was sentimental, but because it felt so real.

A must-watch, even if you don’t like heavy topics. After watching, I sat for a long time thinking — could I do that?

Mr Loverman (2025)

Now this is a series! A man over 70 who has hidden his love for another man his entire life. Lennie James acts so well you feel every one of his emotions. And the wife… poor woman, who lived 50 years in a lie. And most importantly — the series doesn’t try to make anyone a villain. Life is all about compromises.

I watch and understand — this is how many people live. Hiding, being afraid, suffering. A very powerful piece.

Too Much (2025)

Lena Dunham is finally back! Remember “Girls”? This is something similar, but for more mature audiences. The heroine escapes to Britain after a breakup and meets a musician there. And here’s what’s interesting — they immediately become a couple! There’s none of that long-drawn-out “will they/won’t they” stuff. Instead, it shows them trying to maintain the relationship.

Sometimes the episodes are a bit uneven, but… is life ever perfect? I enjoyed it.

Code of Silence (2025)

Imagine — you can’t hear, but you can read lips. And you’re invited to help the police! Rose Ayling-Ellis’s performance is something else. She goes undercover, falls in love with a suspect… And it’s all filmed in a way that makes you feel how complex her situation is.

The moment when she reads the criminals’ lips was especially striking — subtitles appear on the screen, and you understand how she sees the world.

The Rehearsal (2025)

If someone else had made this series, I would have thought it was madness. Nathan Fielder builds an entire airport to investigate the causes of an airplane crash! And you know what? It works! He even organizes a singing contest for pilots. And the ending… My jaw dropped.

This is the most original show I’ve seen in recent years. Sometimes funny, sometimes awkward, but always interesting.

Étoile (2025)

Ballet, Paris, New York… It’s so beautiful! Charlotte Gainsbourg is the epitome of elegance. And Luke Kirby brings the energy. You watch the dancing and understand — these are real professionals. Intrigue, love, art… Plus it’s filmed in two of the world’s most beautiful cities.

The perfect series to escape from problems. You watch and immerse yourself in a world of beauty.

Such Brave Girls (2025)

Now this is a comedy! Harsh, frank, sometimes even cruel. Two sisters and a mother who constantly argue but love each other. It has everything — mental disorders, abortions, failed relationships… And all with such humor that you sometimes laugh through tears.

I was especially struck by the scene where the mother forces her lesbian daughter to marry a man. You have to be creative to come up with that!

The Studio (2025)

Finally, someone made a show about the truth of Hollywood! Seth Rogen plays a studio head trying to balance art and money. And the Martin Scorsese cameo… I laughed so hard! When he appears in the first episode — it’s a masterpiece.

The series shows that the film industry isn’t just glamour. It’s a struggle, compromises, and constant stress. But it’s done so humorously that you watch it in one breath.

The White Lotus (2025)

Third season, Thailand… Some complain it’s slow. But I enjoyed it! Parker Posey is the queen. Carrie Coon is as wonderful as always. And that Schwarzenegger… who would have thought he could act so well.

You watch and maliciously rejoice that you’re not that rich and don’t have such problems. Well, at least that’s how I felt.

Adolescence (2025)

A heavy series. A 13-year-old boy, accused of murder… And it’s all filmed in one take! They managed to film it — without editing, in real time. You feel every minute of tension.

I couldn’t fall asleep for a long time after watching. I thought about how social media ruins children’s lives. It’s very important that they show things like this.

Severance (2025)

The second season of “Severance”… I was waiting for it like a holiday. And I wasn’t disappointed! That Lumon corporation, the split consciousness… Everything is just as strange and exciting. Britt Lower is simply a goddess.

Sometimes I feel like I don’t understand anything. And then I realize that’s the point. Genius!

The Pitt (2025)

A medical series, but not like the others. There’s no glamorous drama here. Only the real work of doctors. One shift, real time… You feel like you’re standing in that department yourself.

I was especially struck by the main character — a doctor who can’t recover from his mentor’s death during COVID. Very human.

Paradise (2025)

The beginning is a standard political thriller. And then… What a twist! I don’t want to spoil it, but after the first episode my jaw dropped. Julianna Nicholson as a tech billionaire — simply terrifying.

You watch and think — can we trust the authorities? And do they really have our interests at heart?

Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light (2025)

A historical drama, but what a drama! Mark Rylance plays Cromwell so well you feel his pain. King Henry VIII loses trust, Cromwell doubts… And all this in luxurious costumes and interiors.

Strangely, this series about the 16th century turned out to be very relevant. Power, intrigue, the struggle for survival… Everything as usual.

The Narrow Road to the Deep North (2025)

A war drama that hits hard. Jacob Elordi is the discovery of the year. A young surgeon in a death camp… And then an old veteran who can’t forget the past. The scenes of brutality are heavy, but it’s a truth we need to know.

I watched through tears. Especially the scene where doctors try to save people without medicine.

Your Friends and Neighbors (2022)

A comedy about an unemployed investor who becomes a robber. Sounds weird? But it works! The hero steals luxury items from his neighbors, but does it in a kind of… cute way.

The series shows that even rich people have problems. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad.

Big Boys (2025)

The final series in the selection, but not the last in quality. Two students — one gay, one straight — find common ground. Funny, touching, sometimes very sad.

The last episode broke my heart. Jack Rooke’s semi-autobiographical series is something special.
