“A Dark Quiet Death” might be one of the best episodes of any program I’ve ever seen. For me, it vies with episode 3 of “The Last of Us” for my favorite of all time..
"What We Do in the Shadows" is hilarious. I've seen every episode, and the writing and acting are top-notch. The recurring guest role of "The Baron", played by Doug Jones, is one of the funniest sit-com characters I've ever seen. Every word out of his mouth has me in stitches.
As a big admirer of Pudi's work on Community, I'm glad that I've gotten to see him play a very different kind of character on Mythic Quest. Such great work in both roles, such a commitment to finding the heart in two wildly different roles.
Also, I'd like to recommend "A Friend of the Family" on Peacock. Fantastic performances throughout, and an impressive example of how to tell a story that goes to some very unsettling places without ever feeling exploitative or salacious. It's a series that trusts its actors to do the metaphorical heavy lifting, and they do it (IMHO) exceptionally well.
How can you not mention Shrinking? I just discovered this week and watched it all. It’s delightful! Also, Peacock brought back Homocide: Life on the Streets. That’s definitely worth paying for a month or two of the service.
I'd add 'In the Know' on Peacock. The satire in that one is pretty great. It goes to cringey places but is otherwise the kind of thing that can only exist in the streaming world.
Why does JVL always say he can’t commit to a streaming series yet he casually quotes Stringer Bell or references Sopranos? Seems to me like he might be…not telling the truth?
also on Peacock - Resident Alien.
Community was good until the last season....
