1. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015–2019)
TV-14 | 42 min | Comedy, Musical
A young woman abandons a choice job at a law firm and her life in New York in an attempt to find happiness in the unlikely locale of West Covina, California.
Stars: Rachel Bloom, Donna Lynne Champlin, Vincent Rodriguez III, Pete Gardner
Votes: 22,668
The wittiest, odd-ball hour-long comedy I've seen in a long time! Hilarious. Rachel Bloom is amazing!
2. Casual (2015–2018)
TV-MA | 25 min | Comedy, Drama
A comedy series about a bachelor brother and his newly divorced sister living under one roof again. Together, they coach each other through the crazy world of dating while raising her teenage daughter.
Stars: Michaela Watkins, Tommy Dewey, Tara Lynne Barr, Nyasha Hatendi
Votes: 9,433
I respect where Hulu is going with its original programing and this show has a vaguely familiar, yet refreshingly new take on whole "dating while raising a modern family" vibe. Love the cast, Michaela Watkins in a more dramatic role is right up my alley.
3. Scream Queens (2015–2016)
TV-14 | 45 min | Comedy, Horror, Mystery
A semi-anthology series that centers on characters being terrorized by a serial killer in different locations, including a university and a hospital.
Stars: Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer
Votes: 46,489
"Queens of Camp" would also work as a title. If you're not into that sort of thing or Ryan Murphy's particular brand of humor, your time may be better spent elsewhere... This show is rife with pop culture commentary and satire, that alone warrants its respect but it is all in good fun.
4. Rosewood (2015–2017)
TV-14 | 42 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Miami pathologist Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, Jr. finds secrets in people's bodies using his state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.
Stars: Morris Chestnut, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Gabrielle Dennis, Anna Konkle
Votes: 8,992
I've missed Morris Chestnut and this quasi-Dexter concept hooked me from the beginning. It is much less a crime procedural and more an intricate/interpersonal drama with a dash of impeding doom, I'm here for it.
5. Grandfathered (2015–2016)
TV-14 | 22 min | Comedy
A confirmed bachelor discovers he's a dad--and a grandfather.
Stars: John Stamos, Paget Brewster, Josh Peck, Christina Milian
Votes: 6,723
Uncle Jesse & Agent Prentiss as long lost lovers is a concept I can get behind, the two are great together. Add Josh Peck and Christina Milan, who are surprising great together as well, and the whole thing rocks like when the Rippers got rid of the their Prima Donna lead singer. I'm almost certain there will be a musical number before the season's over and I'm fine with that.
6. Life in Pieces (2015–2019)
TV-14 | 22 min | Comedy
A family comedy told through the separate stories of different family members.
Stars: Colin Hanks, Betsy Brandt, Thomas Sadoski, Zoe Lister-Jones
Votes: 17,188
It took me a while to get into this one, thinking it was a whitewashed rip off of Modern Family, but I've since come around. Clearly the cast is magical, but each of the individual dynamics is equally entertaining. This formula works, but the ensemble is what I think will keep this one around for a few seasons.
7. Dr. Ken (2015–2017)
TV-PG | 21 min | Comedy
A frustrated doctor juggles his career, marriage, and family.
Stars: Ken Jeong, Suzy Nakamura, Tisha Campbell, Jonathan Slavin
Votes: 4,333
Kind of reminds me of the George Lopez show, its basically Ken's life and its good for few laughs. It is odd that its airs on Fridays but hopefully that will change.
8. Truth Be Told (2015)
TV-14 | 21 min | Comedy
A look at the life of two best friends, a meek politically correct Caucasian ethics professor and an easy-going African American, and their families.
Stars: Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tone Bell, Vanessa Lachey, Bresha Webb
Votes: 1,431
I just like Tone Bell ... and Zach Morris. Nostalgia is big with me, and after Whitney/Bad Teacher I just want one of Tone's shows to work out. I also like the couples' dynamic, in years past they've done this with three couples so one gets polarized/trivialized/stereotyped and I'm not seeing that here. I like it but the same is true here with Dr. Ken, it premiered on a Friday...
