Bill Hader

In a night seemingly meant to be ruled by Netflix, Netflix came up short at the 77th Golden Globe Awards.

Shows such as “Big Little Lies” and “Fleabag,” presented as standalone stories in their first seasons, came back with fascinating new characters and plotlines for their second seasons.

Some of the most important works in the horror genre are retroactively letting the skeletons out of the closet, and this raises an inevitable question: Now that we’re out, where do we stand?

Maybe you’ve been a diehard Stefon fan since day one or maybe Hader’s hotness snuck up on you over the 14 years that you’ve been watching him on the small screen.

The surprising success of “Fleabag,” along with a historic win for Billy Porter, made this year’s Emmys ceremony a pleasantly entertaining affair.

Part of the justification for the show’s first Emmy win for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series in 2017 was a desire to reward its cogent, funny and sobering coverage of the 2016 election. But since that well-deserved win, the show’s political humor has been lacking.

“It Chapter Two” straddles a thin line of comedy and horror, its scares almost always supplemented by a sheer laughability.

The show diagnoses the problem with the uniformity of traditional television structures while simultaneously seeking to disrupt it. 

Mary Oliver, the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, passed away this past week.

Whether it be normalizing diversity in casts or exploring unique cultures through food, many shows are still making waves and reminding audiences to stay vigilant and aware. So, without further ado, here’s the best of the best on television right now.
