- CreatorRaphael Bob-WaksbergStarsWill ArnettAmy SedarisAlison BrieBoJack Horseman was the star of the hit television show "Horsin' Around" in the '80s and '90s, but now he's washed up, living in Hollywood, complaining about everything, and wearing colorful sweaters.In season 5 Raphael Bob-Waksburg's Hollywoo satire goes bleaker and darker than ever before.
- CreatorGregory Thomas GarciaStarsCarly JibsonEddie SteeplesCharles RobinsonFor a tiny cottage in a tiny town, this place sure will see lots of baggage. Each episode, new guests will bring their own special brand of crazy to this new TBS comedy from "My Name Is Earl (2005)" creator Gregory Thomas Garcia.Thinly conceived anthology from the "My Name Is Earl" guy, back to peddle his usual mean, toothless shtick.
- CreatorJeff RakeStarsMelissa RoxburghJosh DallasJ.R. RamirezWhen a commercial airliner suddenly reappears after being missing for five years, those aboard must reintegrate into society.It's like Lost, but with the mawkish sentimentality of This Is Us at its sappiest. But wait! It's also a police procedural!
- CreatorPhoebe Waller-BridgeStarsJodie ComerSandra OhFiona ShawAfter a series of events, the lives of a security operative and an assassin become inextricably linked.strong first season, darkly comic and deftly plotted, with a great cast
- CreatorMichael SchurStarsKristen BellWilliam Jackson HarperJameela JamilFour people and their otherworldly frienemy struggle in the afterlife to define what it means to be good.The writing on this show is so good. Time and again, the writers seems to write themselves into an impossible corner, and their response is to plow through the wall. You never know where things are going to go next.
- CreatorRachel BloomAline Brosh McKennaStarsRachel BloomDonna Lynne ChamplinVincent Rodriguez IIIA young woman abandons a choice job at a law firm and her life in New York in an attempt to find happiness in the unlikely locale of West Covina, California.Craziness is fun, or it can be fun to watch, anyway. Responsibility has its perks, but it isn't exciting the way irrational behavior can be; it's boring and predictable, or so the stigma goes. Now, as we enter the show's endgame, Rebecca's in a better place emotionally, but maybe the pure fun, the chaos isn't there anymore. Which is okay.
- CreatorFrank DarabontStarsAndrew LincolnNorman ReedusMelissa McBrideSheriff Deputy Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma to learn the world is in ruins and must lead a group of survivors to stay alive.I'm gonna watch it someday, I guess, but I'm in no hurry. Billing this season as "Rick Grimes' Final Episodes" seems like a dumb move, and its hard for me to invest in a show that's just going to kill off its protagonist and keep going. This will make the show depart entirely from the blueprint of Kirkman's comic books, which let's face it aren't great, but at least have a story in mind: a father in a dangerous world fights to survive, to protect his son, and to make the world a place worth living in. Without that story, Walking Dead won't have much to make the grim slog worth it anymore, and it's already hemorrhaging viewers.
...
Watching now, and I'm in that new season tabula rasa honeymoon phase, where I say "Hey, they fixed the show, and things are running smoothly now! Took 9 season to do it, but by Jove I think they got it!" Aside from the lousy sendoff for Rick Grimes, it's been pretty good. Characters get a little space to breathe, and to matter, to resonate with the viewer as actual people, and to connect in ways that feel real. I don't think that the show has ever really been able to do that, maybe for the main cast in fits and spurts, but never for the whole ensemble, and definitely never for new characters who've just been introduced. Come the finale, I'll be grousing again, maybe, but for now we're on easy street, and it feels so... tolerable. - StarsChris HardwickNorman ReedusDenise M. HuthA talk show about The Walking Dead (2010) and Fear the Walking Dead (2015).Meanwhile, this shit can get gone. I don't want to see this effusive moron gush about a deeply mediocre tv show and think about how he's an abusive monster. I don't want to see a frame of it, and the best way to do that is probably not watch the flagship show period. Not on DVR, and certainly not live, where he will pop up and yammer away right off the bat when they cut to commerical. With The Walking Dead bleeding out in the ratings, the dumb little hype show might get the axe.
- CreatorVince GilliganPeter GouldStarsBob OdenkirkRhea SeehornJonathan BanksThe trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer Jimmy McGill in the years leading up to his fateful run-in with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.Jimmy McGill's slow corruption of the soul is as riveting as ever.
- CreatorMatt GroeningJosh WeinsteinStarsAbbi JacobsonEric AndréNat FaxonPrincess Tiabeanie, 'Bean', is annoyed at her imminent arranged marriage to Prince Merkimer. Then she meets Luci, a demon, and Elfo, an elf, and things get rather exciting, and dangerous.So, this pilot was not as good as the premiere of Futurama, which in turn I have long contended to be a subpar pilot, probably because I felt at the time that it wasn't as funny as an episode of the Simpsons. But that's the deal with pilots: they must establish characters, place and plot, and if the guys who made the pilot want another episode it should also make us laugh, feel or maybe just think. That's a lot to fit into 30 minutes, so sometimes characters come across a little too broad, jokes don't land the way they should, and exposition gets passed off as dialog. I did laugh a fair bit. There were times where I wasn't sure if I should laugh, which probably means Matt Groening hit me where he wanted to. And there were gags that fell astoundingly flat. For instance, why does a racist deer happen upon our heroes as they sleep? Do all the deer in this fantasy world talk? Are all the deer racists? Do out heroes know the deer are racists? Is this going to come up again? What bearing does it have on anything? Was it supposed to be funny? I can tell I'm getting a little too hung up on the whole racist deer thing. But it's fairly puzzling. Grasping for a punchline that wasn't there, one of my viewing companions said, "Rednecks hunt deer. They aren't supposed to BE rednecks."
Anyway, I'll keep with it for a bit. I hope we haven't seen the last of the off brand Keebler elf kingdom, because that was the funniest bit by far. - StarsSharon HorganRob DelaneyMark BonnarAmerican man Rob gets Irish woman Sharon pregnant when they hook up for a week while he is on a business trip in London.Horgan and Delaney wrote and star in this sitcom, about a london schoolteacher and a Boston ad executive who wind up in a family way after a drunken hook-up. Horgan has a knack for finding the charm of the most abrasive characters, and Delaney is similarly complex, a big-hearted easy-going lug who explodes into scathing fits of anger when under stress.
- CreatorBill BurrMichael PriceStarsBill BurrLaura DernJustin LongFollow the Murphy family back to the 1970s, when kids roamed wild, beer flowed freely and nothing came between a man and his TV.This show has a real problem with its secondary characters, any of which are barely more than one note two seasons in. I like it, though. The Murphys are all well drawn characters. Justin Long is funny as Kevin, the moody teen son, as is Bill Burr, essentially adopting the persona of his own father as cranky paterfamilas Frank. Laura Dern, naturally, is the MVP, with top-notch voice work. As Sue Murphy, long-suffering mother to the clan and now, in the wake of Frank's unemployment, the bread-winner as well, she shades her voice with just a hint of tension, which escalates into screaming matches in which she holds her own against the vociferous Burr.
- CreatorDavid X. CohenMatt GroeningStarsBilly WestJohn DiMaggioKatey SagalPhilip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy, is accidentally frozen in 1999 and thawed out on New Year's Eve 2999.Done with the last season. I've sort of warmed to the new episodes; they're not "new Simpsons episodes" bad. In fact, I've genuinely enjoyed some in this final stretch: "Game of Tones" is another elegaic foray into Fry's past life which stands the equal of "The Luck of the Fryrish" or "Jurassic Bark", "Stench and Stenchibility" is a disgusting yet heartwarming romance featuring Dr Zoidberg, and "Meanwhile" is a pretty good finale, which lets us see Fry and Leela grow old together while leaving the door open for future adventures, a neat way of having your cake and eating it too.
- CreatorJoel HodgsonStarsJoel HodgsonMichael J. NelsonTrace BeaulieuIn the not-too-distant future Joel Robinson is held captive by Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank, forced to watch B-Grade movies on the Satellite of Love with the help of his robot friends: Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot.
- CreatorJason MicallefStarsGrace Victoria CoxMelanie FieldJames ScullyTV version of the 1988 black comedy "Heathers," in which an outcast student plots to kill the cool kids.This is a big waste of time in the style of American Horror Story. Characters die and come back just because the writers seemingly can't spin the wheel of plot without them. There is no rooting interest; the Heathers are of course horrible and self-centered. JD is a dead-eyed sociopath without the rascally charm Christian Slater brought to the role. And Veronica is awful, too. The adults are oblivious, and the other students are sheep. Seemingly, the creators can't wait for someone to come along and kill all these strawmen they've created, and honey, that's a bad look.
- CreatorLauren GussisStarsDallas RobertsDebby RyanChristopher GorhamA disgraced, dissatisfied civil lawyer-turned-beauty pageant coach takes on a vengeful, bullied teenager as his client and has no idea what he's about to unleash upon the world.This show is bad, and worse, it's boring.

Inevitably, this finale rushes through a bunch of obvious plot points. As such, it's a fitting culmination of this show, for all its fits and starts. - CreatorLiz FlahiveCarly MenschStarsAlison BrieMarc MaronBetty GilpinA look at the personal and professional lives of a group of women who perform for a wrestling organization in Los Angeles during the 1980s.season 2
- CreatorCharlie BrookerStarsWunmi MosakuMonica DolanDaniel LapaineFeaturing stand-alone dramas -- sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia -- "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world.

- CreatorJim GavinStarsWyatt RussellBrent JenningsSonya CassidyFate deposits Dud on the doorstep of Lodge 49, a dusty fraternal order that offers cheap beer and strange alchemical philosophies.Wry, shambling existential buddy comedy
- CreatorSimon BeaufoyStarsHarris DickinsonDonald SutherlandHilary SwankIn 1973 Rome, John Paul Getty III, the heir and younger member of an oil tycoons' clan, is kidnapped by the Italian Mafia in order to get a ransom.Thus far, a much better version of this tale than the achingly generic "All the Money in the World", with a highlight in Brendan Fraser's wry, 4th-wall-breaking performance as Getty fixer Fletcher Chase.

- CreatorMike FlanaganStarsMichiel HuismanCarla GuginoHenry ThomasFlashing between past and present, a fractured family confronts haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it.Well-crafted horror tale with a great cast. Unfortunately the ending isn't quite as thrilling as what comes before.
- CreatorAseem BatraStarsSarayu BluePaul AdelsteinMadhur JaffreyPerfect mom, wife, daughter, friend, and boss Emet is learning to be OK with being imperfect.Amy Poehler produces this sitcom from the very funny Aseem Batra. Sad to say, it's not a great showcase for their talents. It's very broad and feels like it's been market tested to death. Emet's frustrations with her unceasingly critical mother can be amusing. However too much time is devoted to the cutesy antics of her children and to her job at a video game design company. At the office Emet hangs out with a bunch of nerdy dudebros who seem like they've been shoehorned in to attract that most coveted of demographics, and nobody ever seems to do any work.

- CreatorAli AdlerGreg BerlantiAndrew KreisbergStarsMelissa BenoistChyler LeighDavid HarewoodThe adventures of Superman's cousin and her own superhero career.I was thinking maybe I'd start this up again. Then I saw a promo with a villain bellowing "I will make you dead!", and I realized that the quality of writing in the Berlantiverse has actually gone down somehow. Who knew that there was any further to fall? So screw that noise.

It is free, so it has ads, and the video quality is not very good. It has Al Jean's animated sitcom The Critic, starring Jon Lovitz, so it's not all bad.
The Critic, or at least the pilot, is however not as good as I remember. - CreatorJoel HodgsonStarsJoel HodgsonFelicia DayPatton OswaltKinga Forrester continues the B-movie watching experiments of her father and grandmother on a new test subject aboard the Satellite Of Love.flew through season 1. now on season 2
- CreatorDavid RosenStarsJason RitterAlexis BledelKerri KenneyFocuses on the key life moments for Gavin and Stacey, who try to maintain their relationship while combining their polarizing families' lives.What other top flight entertainment is available on Crackle, you ask? Submitted for your approval: a five year old American remake of Beeb sitcom "Gavin and Stacy", premiering on the streaming platform for the first time anywhere. Crackle's synopsis says "Working class anger turns deadly in a terrifying thriller that gives the 1% a taste of their own medicine." Sounds like a bold departure from the source material!

Agent and full-time ladies man, Black Dynamite, who's out to avenge the death of his brother against kung-fu masters, drug-dealing pimps, and The Man.Anime style version of Michael Jai White's hilarious blaxploitation spoof loses the specificity of the movie's parody, trading it for Adult Swim's lazy brand of humor, which holds that nothing can be funnier than a reference to something you saw on tv decades ago.
