Not a lot of topnotch stuff out there, but after Ozark & Game of Thrones, decided to pick something light on Hulu
I'm watching their first seasons & both of the shows confuse me to know end since I hate nearly everyone, but they are funny &/or thought provoking
The Last Man On Earth - The title seems like a misnomer, but it's funny. The main character is such a ridiculously bad guy I can't like him and I can't feel sorry for him. It suffers from something that Game of Thrones is guilty of too - It forces ridiculous developments in order for the story to be enjoyable. Is it still deus ex machina if it's based on a bad thing happening to miraculously create a dilemma rather than a solution?
Still the show is very funny and is so unpredictable I have no idea where it's going episode to episode so it makes for a nice diversion on work days.
Rick & Morty - Adult cartoon that fits nicely with my love for Bojack Horseman (Coming soon!). I heard all the buzz surrounding season 3 so decided to start watching. It is not a hilarious show because it's humor relies on me thinking too much. But what it makes me think about, I can't stop thinking about. I'm on episode 6 of the first season and the ending was so bizarre, it seems to either defeat or justify the point of the show. I haven't figured it out yet. I wind up looking like Morty at the end of that episode.
Again, I hate the characters completely, but the stories represent some great writing.
