The series follows for Republican Senators who spend their days in Capitol Hill and their nights in a row house they rent together. Their primary purpose in life: do as little work as possible. The political satire was created by Garry Trudeau and went strong for two seasons.
Throughout the show’s two seasons, there were cameos from Hollywood’s most celebrated veterans and politicians alike, which made for a refreshing series. A political sitcom? Please, count us in!
Catastrophe
"Catastrophe"'s leads portray two single people who are forever intertwined when she accidentally becomes pregnant following a fling while he's in London on a business trip. The show is a rom-com in reverse; there's a pregnancy, then a marriage, and then they get to know each other to see if they can fall in love.
Amazon knew what they were doing when they bought the exclusive streaming rights to the British sitcom. "Catastrophe" involves ever-so-obvious, culture clash -- he's American, and she's British -- and the constant bickering between the two makes the show all the more enjoyable.
Red Oaks
Set in Red Oaks, a fictional country club in a New Jersey suburb, the show follows David, a college student working at the club, enjoying the summer before it comes to an end. "Red Oaks" follows David's life with subplots focusing on his family, friends, and of course, coworkers.
When "Red Oaks" first premiered, it was underrated and went completely unnoticed. The show manages to find fresh humor in a seemingly familiar premise. And slowly but surely, word got out about the intelligent, raunchy '80s-style comedy!
Dead to Me
Not many thought that this Netflix gem, "Dead to Me," had any steam left for a second season, but once again, the surprisingly good dark sitcom did not disappoint. The latest installment of the show got even more complex!
Jen Harding and Judy Hale (Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini) find themselves navigating yet another crime together, and actress Natalie Morales enters the show as an endearing new character with an interesting arc, one that connects specifically to Judy. No spoilers!
The Cool Kids
The sitcom follows three guys who live in a retirement community that are joined by a rebellious female occupant. The show stars old time actors David Alan Grier, Martin Mull, Leslie Jordan, and Vicki Lawrence. The Cool Kids was met with mixed to positive reviews, mostly being criticized for having cheesy jokes and old-time clichés
There were originally 12 episodes as part of Fox's attempt to check the viability of the show. Fox saw the potential behind "The Cool Kids" and ordered another nine episodes a few weeks later, leading the total to 22 episodes. Unfortunately, it canceled the show on the same day that the last episode was released, and it seems that this one is not getting out of its retirement home.
