Letterkenny
A small Ontario town, its hicks, its hockey players, its degens, and the fastest dialogue in television history. Jared Keeso’s creation is a Canadian cartoon of rhythm and insults, and it never misses its own beat for 12 seasons and…

The Nevers
Joss Whedon’s Victorian women with strange powers show, minus Whedon partway through, is a gorgeous mess: great cast, great premise, sumptuous production, and plotting that visibly lost its architect halfway through. Laura Donnelly and Ann Skelly are wonderful, and the…
Quantum Leap
The 2022 revival: a new physicist leaps into lives that need fixing, with the original’s heart updated for a streaming era. Raymond Lee is genuinely winning in the lead, and the connections to Sam Beckett’s story give fans real closure…

The 1981 BBC adaptation of Douglas Adams’ masterpiece is lo fi in the way only BBC sci fi of the era could be, and it is perfect because of it, not despite it. The animated Guide sequences were genuinely visionary,…
Sunny
Rashida Jones as an American woman in Japan whose life explodes when her husband and son die in a mysterious plane crash, leaving her a domestic robot with hidden capabilities. The neo noir meets odd couple robot pairing is genuinely…
