Dickinson (2019)
A great mashup
The people giving this really low reviews clearly don't understand the vision of the the creators. This is not a show for everyone, but if it IS for you, it's fantastic. Framing social issues from the 1800s in a modern context is really interesting and those it probably most needs to reach are the ones crying foul in the reviews.
If you go into this expecting a strict retelling of Emily Dickinson's life, you'll be sorely disappointed. The real Emily Dickinson's life was nothing like this and would have made for a very boring series. Instead we're treated to some of her brilliant prose in a modern context and the writers/cast pull it off well.
Mr. Mayor (2021)
Gets better with every episode
Ignore all the conservative snowflakes mad because the show is "all about diversity" (seriously, this angers you?). It definitely has Tina Fey's sensibility so if you enjoy 30 Rock or Kimmy Schmidt you'll like this. As with most sitcoms you can tell it's taking it a bit to find its footing, but things definitely are starting to click by the third episode. Ted Danson is a treasure!
