Netflix’s ‘Feel Good,’ HBO’s ‘Betty’ and Adult Swim’s ‘Tuca & Bertie’ form a trio of terrific shows returning for uncommonly strong sophomore seasons this summer
to Adult Swim this summer with surprisingly little malice. It has become customary for network-hopping shows to at least give a nudge in the ribs to the outlet that canceled them. But the new episodes of Lisa Hanawalt’s bubbly and neurotic celebration of codependent avian friendship jump right back into business as if nothing has changed; there’s nary a chirp about cold-hearted streamers with cancelation trigger fingers.
Maybe Hanawalt and company know that their characters have more on their animated minds than petty broadcast grievances — Bertie’s panic attacks are, after all, getting worse. Or maybe there’s some resigned acceptance that in an increasingly cluttered TV landscape, little shows can sometimes slip through the cracks, no matter how beloved by those who do make time for them.

Please Do Not Do a Second Season of Mare of EasttownIn a year that was crammed full of television, some good but mostly bad, HBO’s Mare of Easttown was a pleasant reprieve—a juicy whodunit set in a pleasantly gray town that was actually a vessel for an exploration of the multi-faceted disappointments of motherhood. The show came to a very satisfying conclusion on Sunday, neatly wrapping up every single dangling thread, as if insulating itself against the scourge that haunts prestige television of this nature: the looming threat of a second season predicated on little more than the success of the first. Though it is pointless to say this now, I’d like to issue some gentle advice to the creators of this show. We do not need a second season of Mare of Easttown, no matter what anyone says.
