IN no particular order, here are five shows that broke out in 2025 – and what The Star’s in-house reviewers, Davin Arul and Zai Kamal, had to say.
When it comes to his TV credits, Matthew Goode has a history of being a “late add” to TV shows. He swept in to be Mary’s love interest on Downton Abbey after the death of Cousin Matthew. He joined Season Two of The Crown as Margaret’s husband Antony Armstrong-Jones, known as Earl Snowdon. Goode was also added to The Good Wife during Josh Charles’ shocking final episode in the show’s fifth season. In Dept. Q, Goode leads as a curmudgeonly detective who assembles a team of misfits to solve cold cases. The show is based on a Danish book series and was renewed for a second season.
