12 Netflix Comedy Series EVERYONE Should Binge
8. Lady Dynamite
Starring perpetually underrated comedian Maria Bamford
as “herself”, Lady Dynamite comes from the formidable duo of Mitch Hurwitz (he
of Arrested Development and er, Sit Down Shut Up fame) and Pam Brady (she of South
Park and, er, Hamlet 2 fame).
The surreal series, criminally cancelled after only two seasons, offered a madcap and strange look into the star’s life, combining Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s comic exploration of mental illness with a more freewheeling, gleefully anarchic tone. A career-best starring turn from Bamford alone makes this an unmissable series, but the clever writing and gradually unveiled backstory makes this an engaging and unforgettable meta show which comedy geeks won’t want to miss out on.
