If that sounds a bit Inside Baseball because it's about the making of a TV show, know that it's broadly enjoyable and genuinely hilarious – it helps that different characters in the show bring their own comedic energy. This NBC sitcom is about the behind-the-scenes goings-on of a fictional Saturday Night Live-like sketch comedy show led by showrunner Liz Lemon (Tina Fey), who hires obnoxious movie star Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) to give it a shot in the arm.
All seven seasons of 30 Rock are now available to stream on Netflix US – which is a nice way to fill The Office-shaped hole in your life. Even though some of its discussions around religion are entirely played out, the characterization here is sharp – and Linklater absolutely steals scenes as a new community leader who you don't feel like you can trust.
There's a touch of Wicker Man-esque folk horror to this series, which honestly takes a little too long to start getting scary (three episodes, in fact), but it's well worth binging this 7 episode miniseries. Something dark, however, lurks beneath the surface of this place. At the same time, a new priest (Hamish Linklater) arrives just as miraculous events start occurring across the island – leading the whole community to embrace religion in an unprecedented fashion. The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan returns with a new show, this time about a young man (Zach Gilford) who returns to his secluded island home of Crockett to serve a parole sentence. Rahul Kohli stars in Midnight Mass on Netflix.
