- CreatorMark FrostDavid LynchStarsKyle MacLachlanSheryl LeeMichael HorsePicks up 25 years after the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town are stunned when their homecoming queen is murdered.Twin Peaks changed the whole idea of what a tv series can be. Then Twin Peaks: The Return changed the whole idea of what a tv series can be, again. And completely blew my mind in the process. If anyone doubts that David Lynch is a genius after that, then stick to watching something average.
- CreatorLarry DavidStarsLarry DavidCheryl HinesJeff GarlinLarry David stars as an over-the-top version of himself in this comedy series that shows how seemingly trivial details of day-to-day life can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events.Arguably the father of the cringe comedy. A huge influence on Ricky Gervais's The Office. But has anyone done it better than Mr. David? No.
- CreatorMike ClattenburgStarsJohn Paul TremblayRobb WellsMike SmithThree petty felons have a documentary made about their life in a trailer park.Absolutely amazing, hilarious, audacious comedy series that goes lower than any other has dared to go. With the most stupid, offensive, pitiful, hopeless and yet brilliant(-ly written), even - lovable characters you'll ever come across.
- StarsJohn CleesePrunella ScalesAndrew SachsHotel owner Basil Fawlty's incompetence, short fuse, and arrogance form a combination that ensures accidents and trouble are never far away.
- CreatorLeslye HeadlandNatasha LyonneAmy PoehlerStarsNatasha LyonneCharlie BarnettGreta LeeA cynical young woman in New York City keeps dying and returning to the party that's being thrown in her honor on that same evening. She tries to find a way out of this strange time loop.I almost didn't watch this because it just sounded like an unoriginal Groundhog Day re-hash. How wrong was I!! An absolutely unique, flawless, compelling comedy/drama that is genuinely funny and genuinely sad, often at the same time. It takes you to dark places, makes you laugh in the face of death, and will leave your heart warmed by the end. Can't wait for season 2. Incredible!
- CreatorSarah-Violet BlissCharles RogersMichael ShowalterStarsAlia ShawkatJohn ReynoldsJohn EarlySearch Party is a dark comedy about four self-absorbed twenty-somethings who become entangled in an ominous mystery when a former college acquaintance suddenly disappears.This has got be one of the most underrated things on tv, ever! Why this hasn't got more attention is beyond me. It's so, so good. Much like Russian Doll - it's a comedy full of drama and mystery, with a smartly written, massively flawed and vacuous group of 'friends'. The brilliant lead - Dory, is a young woman with no purpose and no self-esteem who finds a welcome distraction from her own existence. What really makes this special is its pin-point sharp satire of modern life and the (so-called) Millennials.
- CreatorJ.J. AbramsJeffrey LieberDamon LindelofStarsJorge GarciaJosh HollowayYunjin KimThe survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together in order to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island.Ok so, granted, Lost went on and on far too long and, er, got lost. It was a victim of it's own success, producers putting pressure on the writers to keep on writing. And yes, there were so many dead-end plots that you wondered if the writers were making it up as they went along. Yet, there were many times where I was so captivated by what was down the rabbit-hole, that perhaps it didn't really matter.
- CreatorDonald GloverStarsDonald GloverBrian Tyree HenryLaKeith StanfieldEarn and his cousin, Alfred, try to make their way in the world through Atlanta's rap scene. Along the way they come face-to-face with social and economic issues touching on race, relationships, poverty, status and parenthood.Another indefinable, game-changing tv series that follows it's own logic. The brilliant Paper Boi sums up the enigma of the modern day rapper, who is successful and largely unknown at the same time. And his cousin 'Earn' is a cynic - so used to having no money he's virtually lost all self-respect, but doesn't seem to realise it. The episodes eschew any traditional plot development and instead tackle all kinds of 1st world issues in a sardonic and surreal style.
- CreatorCarlton CuseStarsKevin AlejandroAgnes BrucknerIndia EnnengaA small town's residents are stunned when recently deceased locals begin returning from the dead. What should be a miracle soon becomes a nightmare.
- CreatorRob McElhenneyGlenn HowertonStarsCharlie DayGlenn HowertonRob McElhenneyFive friends with big egos and small brains are the proprietors of an Irish pub in Philadelphia.
