But because of his unorthodox approach, Nathan's genuine efforts to do good often draw real people into an experience far beyond what they signed up for.Nathan is an underrated genius. Far too many times when watching this show I've thought "Brilliant! how did he come up with that idea?!". So yeah, go watch it, now!

It is funnier and smarter than both of those.
- CreatorMitchell HurwitzStarsJason BatemanMichael CeraPortia de RossiLevel-headed son Michael Bluth takes over family affairs after his father is imprisoned. But the rest of his spoiled, dysfunctional family are making his job unbearable.One of the most consistently funny tv series. The cast is wonderful and it doesn't rely on just the main character. Not too crazy about the new seasons, but the old ones are pure gold.
- CreatorGreg DanielsRicky GervaisStephen MerchantStarsSteve CarellJenna FischerJohn KrasinskiA mockumentary on a group of typical office workers, where the workday consists of ego clashes, inappropriate behavior, tedium and romance.Even better than the original UK one. Steve Carell is perfect as the super-egocentric boss who tries to be an entertainer too. The rest of the cast is also great, even the ones with a smaller part. Plenty of laughs all around.
- CreatorAmy Sherman-PalladinoStarsRachel BrosnahanAlex BorsteinMichael ZegenAfter her husband leaves her, young mother of two Miriam "Midge" Maisel discovers that she has a talent for stand-up comedy. Could this be her calling?Simply wonderful! I thought it was gonna be more chick flicky, but it is enjoyable for all. And the way they recreated the 1950s is just stunning. Truly Marvelous!
- CreatorAustin WinsbergStarsJane LevySkylar AstinAlex NewellA young woman discovers she has the ability to hear the innermost thoughts of people around her as songs and musical numbers.Really wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. It is not a masterpiece, but I really enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. It has a great mix of drama and comedy.
- CreatorSteven KnightStarsCillian MurphyPaul AndersonSophie RundleA gangster family epic set in 1900s England, centering on a gang who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps, and their fierce boss Tommy Shelby.Not gonna lie, it is not always great, but when it is, it is one of the best television series ever. The cast is great, the cinematography stunning and the soundtrack is very much appreciated by any rocknroller.
