10 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2017

5. I’m Dying Up Here (Showtime)

The Terror
Universal Pictures

This one is described as a dark comedy, but sounds like it’s got more in common with a heavy drama than a sitcom. Jim Carrey is the creator of the show though, so we aren’t quite sure what to expect. If it’s a Cable Guy/Truman Show kind of project then sign me up!

The show is set in the 1970's Los Angeles stand-up comedy scene and delves into the tough business of making an audience laugh. Melissa Leo, Clark Duke, and Ari Graynor play the lead characters while many other supporting actors will be making appearances.

The show will the damaged psyches and problems stand-up comedians face on a daily basis, and we hope Jim Carrey will bring a unique comical darkness to the project.

I like to think of myself as a world traveler and social butterfly, although I do spend a lot of my time watching the latest Japanese anime series, sitcoms, movies, and drama series. I live on the island of Crete, where I was born, and enjoy walking on the beach with my little cocker spaniel, Molly, when I'm not writing for WhatCulture.com and UNILAD.co.uk.
