REBOOT
If you’re a sitcom girlie like I am, then you need to check out REBOOT (trailer here) on Hulu. It stars Rachel Bloom (CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND) and was created by MODERN FAMILY showrunner Steven Levitan. REBOOT follows the cast and co-showrunners of a rebooted family sitcom called “Step Right Up”, and feels almost like an updated, L.A,-based version of 30 ROCK. Not just because of Bloom’s delightfully Liz Lemon-esque outfits, but also because of the cast’s lack of self-awareness and general predisposition to antics (Johnny Knoxville in particular excels here). The characters’ struggles to work together and Bloom’s quest to reconcile with her absentee father give the show its momentum, exploring themes of abandonment, betrayal, and connection all with levity and wit. I can’t wait to keep watching.
