In the interest of helping you keep your watch lists current, we’ll update this list on a monthly basis throughout the year.
Better Things Pamela Adlon in Better Things.

There are at least a dozen sequences in this batch of 12 episodes that affirm the idea that cinematic isn’t just a synonym for “we spent a lot of money.

Leaving Neverland Michael Jackson and Wade Robson in Leaving Neverland. Photo: Courtesy of Sundance Institute It almost feels disrespectful to consider this two-part, four-hour documentary about two sexual-abuse survivors in the context of lighter entertainment. Director Dan Reed’s film concentrates on two adult men who say they were groomed for underage sex abuse by Michael Jackson, whose behavior was the subject of two prior civil actions.
The Other Two Heléne Yorke and Drew Tarver in The Other Two.

As conceived by former SNL writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, this is a cutting and giddy satire of showbiz b.s.
Shrill Aidy Bryant in Shrill.

As Annie, Bryant — who co-created the series alongside Alexandra Rushfield and Lindy West, author of the book that inspired it — is sometimes insecure, sometimes Über-confident, and always recognizably human.
Veep Timothy Simons and Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep. Photo: Michelle Groskopf This brutally funny HBO series has functioned, sometimes accidentally, as a kind of political meteorologist. In ways that have been both amusing and unsettling, it has often known which way the wind would blow in D.C. before the first breezes could even be felt on Capitol Hill. In its seventh and final season, Veep still managed to unwittingly sync with reality.
