The show is enormously diverse in terms of not only gender and ethnicity, but also in terms of comic styles: There’s career sad sack Joe Lo Truglio, the stoically hilarious Andre Braugher, king of the clowns Andy Samberg, master of badassery Stephanie Beatriz, and that only covers a little less than half the team.

The Wire was one of the best plotted shows in the history of television, but whenever Treme attempted to replicate any of this formula, it seemed to stumble. Philip Winchester, But the entire point of Don’t Trust the B— was to warp and subvert standard “fish out of water” and hangout sitcom tropes. —Allison Keene, Created by/Starring: Andy Daly Original Network: Comedy Central, 2014-2017, No half-hour comedy has ever broken my heart quite like Review, or even come close.

Few shows could get away with so cleverly lampooning major societal quandaries and issues as one in the same season they investigated “who pooped the bed?” And yet it’s always pitch-perfect.
