9 Best Freevee Shows, Ranked

After writing for comedies like The Middle and Black-ish, Vijal Patel got personal with Pradeeps, basing the Freevee show on his own family’s experience emigrating from India and settling in Pittsburgh. So how did the fictional Pradeeps end up in an interrogation room? That’s for viewers to discover in this culture-clash comedy with unreliable narrators and undeniable charm.

If MTV Cribs had a makeover format, it would be Hollywood Houselift. After years off TV, Flipping Out star Jeff Lewis has returned to the screen to renovate the homes of the rich and famous. So not only do we see Lewis back in action, we also get peeks inside celebrity mansions. And his renovation projects don’t always go to plan… or to his clients’ specifications, as Anthony Anderson can attest.

This revival recaptures the high-stakes energy of TNT’s Leverage, again following five uniquely skilled individuals teaming up to con and steal from the overprivileged on behalf of the underprivileged. Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton) is dead, and Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge) is only around part-time, but hacker Breanna Casey (Aleyse Shannon) and lawyer Harry Wilson (Noah Wyle) are on board with Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman), Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane), and Parker (Beth Riesgraf) for the new capers.

Not only are the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers defending back-to-back state championships, but the high school basketball team’s roster is stacked with NBA progeny — like Bronny James and Zaire Wade — and, as it turns out, future NBA stars — like Brandon Boston Jr., Amari Bailey, and Ziaire Williams. With so much on the line, Top Class is a tense, emotional slam dunk of a docuseries.

Created by Clea DuVall, High School is based on the adolescences of Tegan and Sara Quin, twin sisters who became a Canadian pop duo and queer icons. Backdropped by ’90s grunge and rave culture, the series tells a tale of finding oneself alongside and apart from family — but Freevee canceled it after one season. (To quote a Tegan and Sara song, where does the good go?)

Tens of thousands of fans signed a petition protesting the cancellation of this Australian soap after 37 years on television. And Freevee came to the rescue, saving a legendary TV show that launched the careers of Margot Robbie, Kylie Minogue, and many more stars. And in the Freevee era, new Ramsay Street “neighbours” include cast members Mischa Barton and Chrishell Stause.

Freevee’s revival of Prime Video’s Bosch knew not to mess with the original too much, keeping Titus Welliver’s Harry Bosch the same hard-boiled detective he’s always been. But the equation does change with new variables: Bosch is now a private eye, and his daughter (Madison Lintz) has become an LAPD rookie, giving this adaptation of Michael Connelly’s book series exciting new stakes.

Leave it to Parks and Rec and The Good Place EP Mike Schur to hit us with another feel-good comedy. This semi-autobiographical sitcom — a one-season wonder, sadly — from Shea Serrano follows a San Antonio teenager (Ignacio Diaz-Silverio) being raised by his single mom (Christina Vidal) and five overbearing uncles. It’s hard to balance sentimentality and silliness, but this show does so in Primo fashion.

Nominated for four Emmy awards including Outstanding Comedy, Jury Duty was a prank that shouldn’t have worked as spectacularly as it did, and that’s a credit to both the gullibility and good-naturedness of its mark. Construction worker Ronald Gladden knows he’s a juror in a trial being filmed for a documentary, but he doesn’t know everyone around him is an actor — aside, of course, from James Marsden.
