Cobra Kai (2018)
Witty/smart writing and superb acting
I really didn't expect to like Cobra Kai because most shows or movies that reboot or copy old shows or movies are awful. So thats what I was expecting from Cobra Kai. Being a huge fan of Karate Kid (not so much the sequels) I was shocked by how much I love this show. They really executed it perfectly. The writing is genuinely witty and smart and the acting is superb. They really nail the aspects of Karate Kid that all of its fans know and love while still making it completely original and unique. Im really glad that Netflix picked it up and that season 4 is already in the works.
Bob's Burgers (2011)
The best animated cartoon for adults in a long time
Bobs Burgers is the most well written and perfectly executed adult cartoon that has come out in ages. I love all the little details they take the time to add and change for every episode (burger of the day, exterminator van, store next door, etc.). The characters are so complex even the ones that we don't see every single episode. They chose the best voice actors/actresses for each character that really bring each characters personality to life. I also really love all the names of all the different businesses in town, you can tell they put a lot of thought into them. Im obsessed with the many original songs that have been featured on the show like "Lifting up the skirt of the night" (callback to season 1 episode 6 Sheesh! Cab, Bob), "Hot Pants Rain Dance", "Daddy", "Elderly Prostitute" (even though we never actually hear it! The name is enough to make me love it), "Butts, Butts, Butts", "Oil Slick", etc. The family dynamic of the Belchers and the relationship between them and characters like Teddy makes this show phenomenal to watch. I've seen every episode of Bob's Burgers several times and no matter how many times I watch them they never get old or boring. The only other show I've ever been able to watch like that is Married With Children. I'm extremely happy that Bob's Burgers has been renewed for many more seasons and that a movie is coming out! If you haven't watched the show yet you should definitely give it a try
The Ray Bradbury Theater (1985)
One of the best sci-fi anthology series
I have always been a huge fan of shows like The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Hitchhiker, Night Gallery, Outer Limits, and of course The Ray Bradbury Theater. The stories in The Ray Bradbury Theater are extremely well written, intriguing and enthralling. His writing pulls me in and keeps me fully invested in the characters of each story. They chose the perfect actors/actresses for each role. You can tell a show is genuinely good when its (sometimes for this show) very low budget but the writing and acting is so well done that you are able to completely overlook that huge detail. I only wish there had been more than 6 seasons.
