- 2 Dope Queens (2018–2019) Based on the popular podcast hosted by comedians Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson, HBO's 2 Dope Queens isn't so much a traditional television show as it is a series of comedy specials, each boasting a distinct theme.

One of those TV series that invariably end up on every list made of shows that were murdered in their prime and deserve a return, Pushing Daisies was two seasons of sweetness and magic that creator Bryan Fuller delivered circa 2007, before taking a much darker turn with Hannibal. At its heart is the winsome story of Ned (Lee Pace, pre-internet-Zadd...
The sad and hilarious tale of former '80s sitcom It Girl Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kudrow) desperately trying to hang onto relevancy, this brainchild of Kudrow and Sex and the City creator Michael Patrick King is a relentless skewering of the celebrity industrial complex. It's brutally cringeworthy, but if you can make it through an episode of Curb You...
How to explain How to with John Wilson? It's a docu-series created by observational filmmaker John Wilson that proposes a simple question at its start — something like "how to make the perfect risotto" or "how to remember your dreams" — and then spends its 30 minutes unraveling that question in whatever direction it takes him. The show wrings much ...
One of the most wildly underappreciated shows in its day, Getting On aired three perfect seasons from 2013 to 2015. Based on a BBC series with the same name, Getting On stars Niecy Nash, Alex Borstein, and Mel Rodriguez as three nurses in an understaffed and overworked Extended Care unit, overseen by the uptight head doctor played by Laurie Metcalf...
Before he became a recognized, award-winning genius thanks to the resort-hopping antics of The White Lotus, writer/director Mike White was the pale, one-man niche beloved of weirdos like myself, thanks to his no-budget 2000 comedy film Chuck & Buck. And we happily followed him like true believers through The Good Girl, School of Rock, Year of the D...
The 12th and supposedly final season of Larry David's post-Seinfeld masterpiece of cringe, Curb Your Enthusiasm, is set to premiere in February of 2024. Of course, David has said he was done with it before, and flustered fibbing is also like his whole thing — but that's no matter, because the 11 seasons we already have are gold, and there's no time...
Show creator Quinta Brunson based her heartwarming sitcom Abbott Elementaryon both her own mother's experiences as a schoolteacher as well as those of her favorite teacher (which is where the name "Abbott" came from), and you can sense that lived-in and loved quality in every fiber of the show's being. Set in a perpetually under-funded Philadelphia...
Running for four seasons on HBO beginning in 1995, this blast of sketch comedy brilliance stars comedians David Cross and Bob Odenkirk (way, way, way before he became beloved for his more serious work on Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul) as loose versions of themselves whom we watch perform in between pre-recorded skits. An exquisite ...
Those of us already watching Somebody Somewherelove it with a near-religious fervor, in awe that something this delicate and sweet and funny has so far survived two seasons on streaming in this day and age of slapdash cancellations. Comedian and bawdy NYC chanteuse Bridget Everett stars as Sam, a way dialed-down version of Everett who finds herself...
With each successive season, Search Party managed to spin itself sideways into territory far weirder than you could have ever imagined. Somehow, Search Party kept making it work. What started as the simple story of a group of Brooklynite hipsters — Dory (Alia Shawkat); her boyfriend, Drew (John Reynolds); and the terrible twosome of Elliott (John E...
