"Party Down"
STARZ
Where to watch: Hulu
2 seasons, 20 episodes
Runtime per episode: 26-30 mins
Premise: Oh, the life of reluctant caterers trying to make it in Hollywood can be so worrisome! "Party Down" fronts a crazy-funny cast and follows six Hollywood wannabe actors and writers who are chasing their dreams of stardom. To make ends meet, these misfits work for a posh LA catering company that provides services for events like a mixer for the elderly and even a porn awards afterparty! Seriously, no matter how many times you watch "Party Down," you’ll never get tired of hearing the words "Scrotum Phillips."
"Big Little Lies"
HBO
Where to watch: Amazon Prime, HBO.com
1 season, 7 episodes
Runtime per episode: 52–58 mins
Premise: Based on the book of the same name by Liane Moriarty, "Big Little Lies" follows three mothers whose seemingly perfect lives unravel in unexpected ways. The idea of domesticity, particularly in relation to marriage, motherhood, and an upper-middle-class lifestyle, is challenged in the series. The series starts off with a mysterious death and then rewinds back to the events that led up to this horrendous moment.
"Enlightened"
HBO
Where to watch: Amazon Prime, HBO.com
2 seasons, 18 episodes
Runtime per episode: 25-30 mins
Premise: Despite earning Laura Dern a much-deserved Golden Globe, "Enlightened" remains an egregiously underrated cult comedy. The series finds humor in Amy Jellicoe’s philosophical awakening after her career implodes to the umpteenth degree. Yeah, that’s not an easy storyline to master, but it's pure bliss watching Amy spit out one delusional mantra after another. This woman is the epitome of pretending to not be scream internally.
