You’re the Worst
Aya Cash and Chris Geere are delivering some of the best performances on television and it still feels like no one is watching this amazing show. As Gretchen and Jimmy the two bring the term “toxic relationship” to a new level but instead of us actively wanting them to stay the hell away from one another for their own betterment, we realize that despite bringing out the worst in each other at times, they’re also as well suited as people get. After a season where Gretchen dealt with her depression and Jimmy tried to keep up, the two have gone through more ups and downs than many couples can handle and still they held on. With season three right around the corner it’s time to start watching this hilarious, heartfelt show that isn’t the afraid to show just how terrible people can be and how we can still love them all the same.
Please Like Me
This is the show that whenever anyone (in their 20’s mostly) ask me for a recommendation of what to watch, I give them this. One of my personal favorite series, Please Like Me is a show that showcases an authentic (yes, that word) look at 20 somethings dealing with dating, mental illness and self-doubt with genuine warmth and humor. Shot in a stripped down manner (but with wonderful set design) the series allows for the characters to grow as we in turn grow increasingly attached to each and every one of them as we realize to both our delight (and sometimes dismay) how much we share in personality with the likes of Josh, Claire and yes, even Tom.
