In Seasons Three, Four, and Five, the Roses put down roots, and as they have, the people of Schitt’s Creek—once treated primarily as rubes, innocently getting in the way of the family’s plans to flee back to their former lives—have learned to wrangle them, in some cases by developing sharper edges of their own. Moira won a seat on the town council.

The Mike Judge-created, tech-centric ensemble sitcom—the definitive lampooning of the industry—didn’t miss a beat in the most recent season even with the absence of T.J. Miller’s oafish Erlich Bachman. —Roxanne Sancto, Created by: Alex Hirsch Stars: Jason Ritter, Alex Hirsch, Kristen Schaal Original Network: Disney, 2012-2016, All good things must come to an end. It’s a pungently goofy reminder that the history of “true crime” is dominated by “lowbrow” media—pulpy magazines, grocery-store paperbacks, salacious installments of Dateline or 20/20—and that its newfound sense of “prestige” is primarily a function of style. Sean Gandert, Created by: Love Productions Stars:Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Sandi Toksvig, Noel Fielding  Original Network: BBC, 2010-2016; Channel 4, 2017-present, Known across the pond as The Great British Bake-Off, the appeal of this wildly popular reality TV series—most seasons of which are now available on Netflix—is its refusal to go in for dramatic contrivances. We have watched Petra grow into her own skin and find a love in JR she never knew she could have. Call it Fast Times at Hanover High: The series’ amusing slice of schoolyard life. If you haven’t seen it yet, turn off the lights, turn on the biggest screen you own, and prepare to be dazzled. It’d be an understatement to say that she’s having a rough time of it at home, at work and even in her own mind, but this character’s brilliance and sheer perseverance makes Happy Valley an absolute must-watch, one that revitalizes the crime genre. Their son, David (Dan Levy), opened a store and met the love of his life. ?In April 1986, the reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, in present-day Ukraine, exploded, leaving a large number of first-responder widows and a legacy of environmental annihilation.

Maslany played a host of clones on a sci-fi show that’s not just for sci-fi fans. But to call The Crown simply “lavish” seems unfair. Perhaps that’s why Andy Daly’s brilliant, pitch-black Comedy Central series didn’t make it past an abbreviated Season Three—the show parlayed its silly, meta premise into a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. A few things remained the same, though, like Villanelle’s outrageously excellent sartorial choices, as well as some particularly creative, grisly deaths. John Leguizamo as Raymond’s father, who remarries while Raymond is away and struggles to balance his old family with his new one.

(I was in the wrong, I know). In its long awaited second (and final) season, Fleabag sees our heroine still reeling from the death of her best friend and her culpability in what happened. Horrible. If that reads as overblown, then you, like too many people for Comedy Central’s liking, clearly have not seen Review. Too many series conflate “prestige” with sorrow, violence, and horror when it can (and should) also mean happiness and splendor. Few shows could get away with so cleverly lampooning major societal quandaries and issues as one in the same season they investigated “who pooped the bed?” And yet it’s always pitch-perfect.

Instead, I devoured it. —Allison Keene, Created by: Ted Griffin Stars: Donal Logue, Michael Raymond-James, Laura Allen, Kimberly Quinn, Jamie Dembo Original Network: FX, 2010, Terriers will always be the one that got away. As Patrick (Jonathan Groff), Agustín (Frankie J. Alvarez), Dom (Murray Bartlett) and Doris (Lauren Weedman, the series’ unsung MVP) forged a makeshift family, separated from parents and siblings by geographical and cultural gulfs, Looking emerged as a moving, gorgeous coming-of-age tale, alive to the notion that we never really stop “growing up.” —Matt Brennan, Created by: Christopher Cantwell, Christopher C. Rogers Stars: Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis, Kerry Bishé, Toby Huss, Aleksa Palladino Original Network: AMC, 2014-2017, By the time Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers’ group portrait of the dawn of the digital age concludes its final act, cable’s most under-appreciated drama emerged as one of its most poignant, a treatment of connections broken and (re-) made over the course of a distant decade.

Steven Universe has been the best show on Cartoon Network for quite some time. GLOW will always be a show that understands femininity in a way few others do, and is often a pop-filled good time. The scope of The Good Place has expanded exponentially throughout, but always in a way that has felt carefully planned and calculated from the start, rather than improvised on the spot. When it’s great, it’s arguably the best sitcom you’ll find on network television, thanks in part to sharp writing, but mostly to an even sharper cast. And we cannot wait for Season Four. Special shout out to MJ Rodriquez, whose Blanca is the true heart of the series. The pair forms a PI firm, and their rag-tag approach to solving crimes leads them to commit a few of their own, in addition to all sorts of questionable but entertaining adventures.

We live in hope. We started carrying screens with us everywhere, which meant a proliferation of companies looking to fill that space and our time. The series thrives when it demonstrates the minutia of life.

And as great as Schilling and Prepon are together, the entire cast is so universally excellent that the series could successfully, at any time, delve deep into a supporting character’s backstory. Even in its weaker moments, the show always offered something memorable, whether it be an impressive visual, or an intense dialogue exchange. Dominic Mitchell’s extraordinary series starts out as something of a satire, where the zombie apocalypse is over, but the undead remain. All rights reserved. Daniel Holden, presumably wrongly arrested for the rape and murder of his girlfriend, finds himself back in his small Georgia hometown and greeted by constant life-threatening hostility. The Spalding Gray satire “Parker Gail’s Location is Everything,” the bleak Salesman parody “Globesman,” and the two-part Robert Evans riff “Mr. Ranking it was even harder. —Mark Rozeman, Created by: Robert and Michelle King, Phil Alden Robinson Stars: Christine Baranski, Rose Leslie, Erica Tazel, Cush Jumbo Original Network: CBS All Access, 2017-present, With “The One Where Diane and Liz Topple Democracy,” The Good Fight achieved the holy grail of the TV spin-off: It’s taken the animating question of The Good Wife—How far can you push the law?—and reinterpreted it for our own moment: Does the law even matter? Halt and Catch Fire was always, as Joe (Lee Pace) proclaims in the pilot episode, about “the thing that gets us to the thing,” but it’s the series’ final season, set amid the scramble to build the Internet’s dominant search engine, that draws the point most elegantly. The Scion iQ, a tiny four-seat hatchback, is one of the lowest-scoring cars we've tested in recent years. Copyright © 2018 Fandango.

Then came Hereditary! He’s a man who wants to do good, but can’t reconcile the two parts of himself, something the series also explores throughout the series. It just juggled the absurdities of electric cars… As one observer of the Roy family comments, “watching you people melt down is the most deeply satisfying activity on planet Earth.”, Succession is not made to be binge watched. Who we are versus how we want others to see us is at the core of Barry’s character exploration, and Hader manages to somehow make the series both hilarious and deeply affecting, taking us on a rollercoaster of emotions that ends—at least with this season—in an extraordinary difficult place of truth and self-understanding.—Allison Keene, Created by: Tina Fey Stars: Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer, Scott Adsit, Judah Friedlander Original Network: NBC, 2006-2013, The spiritual successor to Arrested Development, 30 Rock succeeded where its competition failed by largely ignoring the actual process of creating a TV show and instead focusing on the life of one individual in charge of the process, played by show creator Tina Fey.
