[Watch The Beatles: Eight Days a Week on Hulu September 17]

The Last Man on Earth Season Three Premiere

Surprisingly, one of the most innovative and heartfelt shows of the last couple of years has been Will Forte’s comedy about the end of the world. Starring Forte Kristen Schaal, January Jones, Mary Steenburgen, and Jason Sudeikis, The Last Man on Earth has always proven it’s comfortable being quirky, but last season it proved it can be heart-wrenching as well. Season Two left us wondering if Tandy’s astronaut brother had the virus, and we’re waiting with bated breathe for that answer.

AMAZON PRIME VIDEO

One Mississippi Season One *Amazon Original

Tig Notaro has her own show now, you guys. Created by Notaro and Diablo Cody, One Mississippi follows a fictional version of Tig as she goes through the absolute worst year of her life.

Transparent Season Three *Amazon Original

The Pfeffermans are returning to our lives. Starring Jeffrey Tambor, Gaby Hoffman, Amy Landecker, Jay Duplass, and Judith Light, Jill Soloway’s often-bleak comedy about one father’s transition to Maura is as heartfelt and confusing as it is highly intelligent.

[Watch Transparent on Prime Video September 23]

The Witch (2015)

There was a reason why all of your horror movie obsessed friends wouldn’t shut up about this movie a few months ago, and later this month, you’ll be able to see that reason for yourself.

Rushmore (1998)

This Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman-led comedy proved to the world just how magical Wes Anderson’s work can be.

Leo wanted that statue, and we made him work for it, by god.

[Watch The Revenant on HBO Now September 17]

Vice Principals Season One Finale *HBO Original

Danny McBride’s latest show about underdogs, low stakes, and ridiculous characters looked pretty good when it was first announced. However, we had no idea how socially relevant and intentionally cringe-worthy this series would be until now. Also starring Walton Goggins and Kimberly Hebert Gregory, the series inverts the expected hero / villain dynamic to explore racial and sexual power dynamics in the world of high school administration. Also? It’s laugh out loud funny.

[Watch Vice Principals on HBO Now September 18]

The Larry Sanders Show *HBO Original

Starring Garry Shandling, Jeffrey Tambor, and Rip Torn, soon you’ll be able to stream this late night show gem. From 1992 to 1998, The Larry Sanders Show featured celebrities playing exaggerated, self-parodying versions of themselves and helped shaped comedy into its current form. During its run, the series received 86 award nominations. Yeah, it’s that good.

HBO First Look: The Birth of a Nation

It hasn’t even been released yet, but this film directed by Nate Parker has already been making more than its fair share of headlines. The film intentionally takes the name of one of the most overtly racist films in American history to tell the story of an enslaved Baptist preacher who helps to launch one of the the most violent and historic rebellions in Virginia. However, it’s Parker’s sexual assualt scandal plagued past that’s been generating headlines. See what all the fuss is about later this month.
