Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Season 2 *Netflix Original

Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping (2016) *Netflix Original

This month, Patton Oswalt is releasing his own Netflix original standup special. Oswalt, who has been on everything from The King of Queens to The United States of Tara, holds a special place in many comedy nerds’ hearts. However, we’re arguing that his best role was his Star Wars filibuster on Parks and Recreation.

HBO NOW

Game of Thrones Season 6 *HBO Original

We’re heading back to Westeros. With the fate of Jon Snow hanging in the balance and the promise of the biggest battle scene yet, this season already has more drama than we know how to handle. Excited doesn’t even begin to cover the range of emotions we’re feeling right now.

Silicon Valley Season 3 *HBO Original

The tech industry’s best and brightest (or at least funniest) are back, and things are off to a rocky start. Richard is being forced to become an employee of his own company, and the new CEO isn’t who you would expect (read: Erlich). This season looks like it’ll be the tech mix up we’ve been craving.

Animals Season 1 Finale *HBO Original

Mark and Jay Duplass’ freshman animated comedy comes to an end this month, and we’re already mourning its loss. If you haven’t seen the beautifully warped and furry world that is Animals, now’s your chance to stream it all.

Trainwreck Unrated (2015)

Amy Schumer and Judd Apatow’s hit comedy has everything you could possibly want in a modern day rom-com: a funny and flirt-worthy leading man (Bill Hader), a side-kick that’s just as good as the lead (Brie Larson), and a cross over between sports and movies that you didn’t know you needed—we’re looking at you John Cena and LeBron James. This inverse of the rom-com genre is basically perfect, which makes an unrated version all the more fun.
