Netflix’s horror-comedy follows normal couple Sheila (Drew Barrymore) and Joel (Timothy Olyphant), a real estate duo attempting to raise their daughter Abby (Liv Hewson) right. Santa Clarita Diet Original Run: 2017-2019 Creator: Victor Fresco Stars: Drew Barrymore, Timothy Olyphant, Liv Hewson, Skyler Gisondo Original Network: Netflix Oh, and did I mention that Nicole Richie is funny as cable news host Portia? I mean really, really funny.- Amy Amatangeloģ1. But as the second season progressed, the story of cable news producer Katie (Briga Heelan) and her ragtag news team (which includes the incomparable Andrea Martin as her mother and the hilarious John Michael Higgins as her bombastic news anchor, Chuck) becomes a savvy and at times scathing comedy, covering everything from sexual harassment in the workplace to the pressures of social media. Great News, from executive producer Tina Fey, debuted to little fanfare. I’ve come to the point in my career where I’m the lady shaking my fist and screaming, “Network TV is still good! It’s still good!” And while I’ll be the first to admit that network TV provides us with a lot of duds, you can often find a diamond in among the lumps of coal. Great News Original Run: 2017-2018 Creator: Tracey Wigfield Stars: Briga Heelen, Andrea Martin, Adam Campbell, Nicole Richie, Horatio Sanz, John Michael Higgins Original network: NBC We witness various fashion trends and phases in their lives, personal issues and career triumphs, forging a bond with the characters that carries into their current situations.- Roxanne Sanctoģ2. By spanning the protagonists’ storylines over a period of seven years, we get to know the people and circumstances that shaped them into who they are at present. Instead of being overly in-your-face with punchlines, the series relies on its well-defined protagonists for humor, and by introducing new characters and environments in every episode, Lovesick feels more elaborate than your average sitcom, allowing for the occasional surprise (see the episodes “Abigail” and “Phoebe”). Lovesick thrives on gawkily funny and often sexually charged situations, handled in such a down-to-earth manner it doesn’t feel like your typical, canned-laughter comedy. Lovesick Original Run: 2014-2021 Creator: Tom Edge Stars: Johnny Flynn, Antonia Thomas, Daniel Ings, Joshua McGuire Original Network: Channel 4 Netflix (seasons 2 and 3) That ‘90s Show did just enough to let us drop back into this world for a summer of fun, and here’s hoping there’s another summer or two to come down the line.- Trent Mooreģ3. The original was never a masterpiece, and That ‘90s Show isn’t either, but they’re both entertaining. The most important question remains: is it fun? It is, and it will certainly appeal to fans of That ‘70s Show.
