as did the inclusion of paul feig as

executive producer

baby you are playing the long game you

just you keep your eyes on the prize

really like the feathers i really like

the move like the whole thing was like

super energetic and i felt like

everybody room for y'all

it's obvious that hbo max cares a lot

about this program

as the production values are

extraordinary and unlike

similar reality programs but perhaps

more importantly

the performances themselves are always

entertaining

a feast for both the eyes and the ears

number eight raised by wolves this

science fiction drama was created by

aaron guzikowski

who is perhaps most well known as the

writer of 2013's prisoners

[Music]

only as mother and father

raising human children on a distant

planet following the destruction of

earth

please tell me you can fix it we managed

to get over a thousand people across the

galaxy

in one piece i'm pretty confident we can

fix a broken down android

raised by wolves uses its science

fiction concepts to explore

universal human themes in particular

religion

and belief the show makes for hard

sci-fi

complete with stellar production values

and a gloriously futuristic aesthetic

it doesn't concern you now

please get off her land we don't want

you here

number seven close enough the cartoon

network's regular show came to an end in

2017 following eight seasons and 261

episodes

presentation make those other kids

patches look like

s-h-i-t total s-h-i-t this

adult-oriented animated comedy follows

josh and emily a married early

30-something couple who lives in la with

their young daughter and divorced

friends

babysitting doesn't exactly gel with my

plan to get off tonight

and i wait get off from what you don't

even have a job

come on alex oh orgasm the show finds

humor through its relatable characters

and situations

but also mixes in elements of outlandish

surrealism

turning close enough into a unique mix

between observational comedy and

fever-dream hilarity it's a set josh

this whole thing

it's a sitcom well how do we get out i

don't know

like regular show close enough is very

silly and very energetic

but it also finds time for some welcome

social commentary

it is a future classic i own cassette

singles i used aol to

surf the web i am

old number six generation

hbo's content is typically geared

towards adults

but in the case of generation the

streaming service looks to capture the

gen z demographic

why do you keep getting dress coded

ones for wearing a skirt one's for

ripped jeans which the girls never get

in trouble for

produced by lena dunham generation is a

dramedy that follows an ensemble group

of high school teenagers in orange

county california

seriously i feel [ __ ] energy radiating

from you

really you're like a [ __ ] phoenix rising

from the ashes

growing up in a deeply conservative

community the teenagers are forced to

combat their preconceived notions about

love and identity

while exploring their sexuality you just

said you're not gay i'm not

why would you even record that the same

reason you took the picture

it was a joke me too the performances

and writing are the stars here

with four episodes being penned by

father-daughter team daniel and zelda

barnes

the young zelda lends an air of

authenticity to the show preventing the

how do you do fellow kids writing of

other shows of this type

and ensuring that it's grounded in

reality

you need a time turner yeah uh no you

can't say that anymore you can't

no you know jk rowling transphobic plus

the whole queerbaiting thing

number five made for love you've been

living under a rock or something

basically based on alyssa nutting's

novel of the same name

made for love stars kristin miliotti as

hazel green goggle

a woman who escapes an abusive 10-year

marriage now you and your loved one can

truly come together

every thought every feeling shared

your brain's fully connected

unfortunately hazel's billionaire

husband has implanted her with a

tracking device

allowing him to monitor both her

location and her emotional status

the story serves as wonderful satire

pushing the ways that technology is

becoming more intrusive

to extreme lengths for laughs i want

this thing out of my head byron

oh you don't the data says don't you

dare

come here okay okay okay and laugh

audiences will especially when it comes

to milioti's excellent and hilarious

performance as hazel but the show

isn't just funny it's also a tender

exploration of hazel's newfound freedom

and independence

mixing in great social commentary i

don't know what i want

but i know i don't want you byron

number four it's a sin this drama

originally aired on britain's channel 4

before hbo max picked it up for

exclusive distribution in the united

states

i don't suppose there's a girlfriend

waiting back home in wales

perhaps a boyfriend no

but would there be if you could it was

created

and entirely written by russell t davies

who has found fame and success through

shows like queer as folk

and the 2005 doctor who revival no as

long as i can

find work i don't care there's a little

bit of tv

i could be that man in the background

shouting let him go it follows an

ensemble cast of queer characters who

lived through the aids epidemic in 1980s

london

the show has been widely lauded for its

performances writing

and accurate depiction of the aids

epidemic they say there's one patient

zero spreading it wherever he goes

they say it affects homosexuals patience

and hemophilia

it's also been credited with normalizing

the depiction of gay sex on television

and for raising awareness about hiv

testing it's poignant and

magnetic but also at times surprisingly

funny he said i can have a set of keys

so i can get in at 8 30.

before him i'll open up for the day so

what's that promotion

did you get more money are you like a

manager now no so what does that mean

it means i can open up at 8 30. above

all it's a sin makes for

essential viewing number three doom

patrol hey ain't you in a justice league

sir i really need to get this bus fixed

this superhero show started its life on

the now defunct streaming service dc

universe

its second season was then aired

simultaneously on both dc

universe and hbo max but its third

season will be released exclusively

through hbo max

no we're not doing that the show follows

the titular doom patrol

a group of superhero misfits

superhero shows are a dime a dozen today

but doom patrol stands out from the pack

through its unhinged weirdness and

gleefully oddball personality

we can do that it's wonderfully bizarre

but it also finds time to explore the

inherent tragedy at the heart of the

story

and its characters clara what happened

to clara

i'm afraid you were the only survivor

number two search party

this show began its life on tbs airing

its first two seasons on the network

before moving to hbo max for its third

and fourth seasons

where is she that's that's the question

why

portia no one at the table knows it

stars ali a show caught as dory seif

an nyu grad who decides to search for

her missing college acquaintance

it's made me wonder

like would anyone even care if something

bad happened to me you're doing that

victory thing again

the show is a glorious mix of genres

often alternating between

straightforward thriller

detective mystery legal drama and even

dark comedy and satire

would you being an accomplished crime

writer

assume that that means that she's dead i

mean are we talking about a good

show about real life then yeah i'd say

she's probably dead

the shifting genres and surprising

character development help keep the show

fresh

and show cot proves an endlessly

commanding and engaging lead

anti-hero protagonists are very popular

these days

but dory thief is the most interesting

one in years

do you know where she is no not exactly

you don't know

no but i saw her where is she

when i saw her this woman hasn't slept

in days give her some space

before we unveil our number one pick

here are some honorable mentions

equal a fascinating docu-series about

lgbtq plus history

it wasn't a question of a limp wrist it

was practically a limp arm

everything was limp i could play

the strutting macho if i wanted to

and i could drop my wrist when i felt

like it stylish with jenna lyons

the ex-president of j crew showcases her

talent for design and fashion

comfort you have when you walk into your

home i want that feeling

for everyone oh my i love everything
