A year after his wife died, he decides to tell his patients how to run their lives. Jason Segel, also one of the series' creators (along with Ted Lasso's Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein), plays Jimmy, endearing but at times useless therapist. It balances a heartfelt dramatic tone in a story of grief with very funny, character-based humour.

Harrison Ford, in unlikely but brilliant comic mode, would be reason enough to watch this series, but Shrinking does something unexpected, and challenging to pull off. (HM)Īvailable on Peacock in the US and Now in the UK

True episodic TV of the old school, it is one of the year's simplest and purest pleasures. And there is something singularly soothing about watching Lyonne put the pieces of the puzzle together, before hitting the road once more. She is, in her scrappy, wisecracking energy, a female Columbo and as with that classic series, we see the murder at the beginning of each episode – so that it's not a whodunnit, but a howdunnit. One of Hollywood's most inimitable stars, Lyonne is an absolute dream here as the insouciant Charlie, a cocktail waitress on the run who finds herself travelling around the US, inadvertently getting involved in murder cases that could do with her mental acuity and unique ability to detect when someone's lying.

Such is the case with this murder-of-the-week series from Knives Out creator Rian Johnson, which came about in the first place following of a casual dinner conversation between him and star Natasha Lyonne about their love of detective shows. Sometimes a concept for a show is just so inspired, there's simply no way it can fail. (CJ)Īvailable on Max in the US and Now in the UK The Last of Us speaks eloquently to people who never knew it was a video game in the first place. Pascal has gotten a well-deserved mainstream breakout with the role, as he grounds the genre elements with a powerful, realistic performance, earning him an Emmy nomination. A meeting with Joel's lost brother is satisfying yet fraught with loss by the end. An episode starring Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett whose relationship endures over the decades after the apocalypse is already one of the year's most poignant.

As they travel west across what was once the US, the changing landscape and characters they encounter add range and variety. The series brings deep humanity and emotion to its tense survival story, centred on the relationship between Joel (Pedro Pascal), a bereaved father, and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), the orphaned girl he reluctantly agrees to take cross-country to safety. The story involves terrifying mushroom-headed zombies, but they are the least of the reasons for the show's impact. Just when it seemed there wasn't room for one more post-apocalyptic drama or video-game adaptation, The Last of Us came along.
