"The Dark Wizard will take it away. Following its premiere at SXSW, the riveting docu-series chronicles the rise and tragic death of free climber Dean Potter, who achieved notoriety for his death-defying ambitions and brash personality until he died in 2015."
"Rooster is a new comfort comedy from Bill Lawrence that will make us miss our college days. DTF St. Louis is comparatively more grim, being a murder mystery set against the mundanity of midwestern suburbia."
"There's more to HBO than dragons and scummy rich people, and these shows prove why. The first half of 2026 has also seen a few new, potentially long-lasting hits for HBO too."
