Dave (Hulu)
“Dave [starring Lil Dicky, above] is written and produced by Curb Your Enthusiasm showrunner Jeff Schaffer. This is Curb Your Enthusiasm for the next generation, yet singular in its tone. It bounces between absurdity and sincerity like a magic trick — it’s such a great watch.”
Hacks (Max)
“A master class for me in performance and writing. Jean Smart [above] and Hannah Einbinder’s chemistry is so rare and beautiful. They’re that kind of iconic pair that is lightning in a bottle.”
Six Feet Under (Max)
“I’m late to the party by 20 years, but I’m so glad I came. Characters go through tragic circumstances, but the episodes are life-affirming and uplifting.” [Above, from left: Lauren Ambrose, Frances Conroy, Rachel Griffiths, and Michael C. Hall]
Insecure (Max)
“Issa Rae [above, with Kendrick Sampson] and the show grab your attention right away; it’s nuanced, and the cast is absolutely magnetic.”
Beef (Netflix)
After Life (Netflix)
“Ricky Gervais’ [above] After Life makes grief something that can be looked at deeply, through the course of this series, because of the way he handles it. As with everything he does, all the characters in the show are so funny, but so real and grounded. I find myself falling in love with them all. It has me vacillating so quickly sometimes between laughing and crying — so good.”
