Still gonna be a Letterboxd guy first and foremost – sorry! – so I have to be true to myself and share my most recent five star discovery, this failed NBC pilot from 1991. Lookwell is pure comedy heaven, not a wasted joke in its short runtime, with Adam West’s self aware turn on Family Guy done here first but better. Special bonus: a major role from TÁR director Todd Field?? Perhaps we wouldn’t have either that film or Conan’s classic Late Night run if this had actually been picked up to series, though this is so perfect it’s hard not to wonder what a few seasons would have been like…but at least we’ll always have this.

want to feel insane? watch this completely inscrutable and bizarre failed “sitcom” that feels like it came from another planet. low budget, acting is horrendous, insane laugh track. not a single joke lands. extremely cursed

Absolutely loved everything about this deadpan comedy/music series. Definitely is going to be a new comfort tv show for me from here on out. The topics they cover in the show to the setting in New York City is absolutely perfect and still super relevant to this day

This Comedy Central series from Sofia Coppola and Zoe Cassavetes feels light years ahead of everything in its class. It created the mould for stuff like Delusional Downtown Divas (the Lena Dunham sartorial sketch show). I don’t really remember when I found it, but I’ll watch it on repeat. I’m hoping one day they’ll bring it back, but I’m not holding my breath. I dreamed of being a Gen Xer when I was a teenager and this series is why.
