Barry seasons 1-3 (2018 - 2022) - This show is really good, if a little dark. A hit man (played so well by Bill Hader) in LA decides he's done and wants to become an actor. He develops an unhealthy relationship with his acting teacher (also played so well by Henry Winkler) and his new girlfriend (Sarah Goldberg is also absolutely fantastic), in addition to his already unhealthy relationship with his handler (played frustratingly well by Stephen Root. I wish he'd go away, but not really, but really). I think my favorite character, though, is NoHo Hank (played by Anthony Carrigan). I love him so much. The show careens between funny and dark and surreal so fast I can't quite keep the story straight, but that's ok. However, with everything going on, I need something a bit sunnier. Oh! Like maybe an all-NoHo Hank season.
Inside Man (2022) - I wanted to like this because David Tennant, Dolly Wells, and Stanley Tucci, but I could barely get through the first episode and am not going to watch anymore. An inmate (the Tooch) solves crimes that he deems interesting enough. A vicar (David Tennant) may be pushed into murdering someone. *sigh* I think maybe I just don't like Steven Moffat/Sue Vertue productions anymore.
Wednesday (2022) - This is pretty cute. Wednesday Addams gets sent to a private school for outcasts after she stands up to a bully in her normie high school. (Admittedly, putting piranha in the swimming pool was a bit much.) She discovers a mystery at her new school and sets about solving it.
1899 (2022) - By the same person/people who did Dark, which I stopped watching part way through. This might be the type of show that, like Lost, unfolds too slowly for me. A multinational group of people on a cruise ship in 1899 experience very weird things, and start questioning reality. Watch with subtitles and the original language, because everyone is speaking a different one, and it makes no sense dubbed.
Con Man (2015 - 2017) - Alan Tudyk's crowd-funded show, about a struggling actor whose one big hit was a sci-fi show several years ago. Sound familiar? I was meh on it.
