Another of Amazon's promising new series, this was widely regarded as the best of the late-2015 pilots, so it's not really any surprise that they've ordered a full series, which is set to debut later this year.

Co-written by and starring stand-up comic.podcast host Tig Notaro, One Mississippi is a semi-autobiographical show about a stand-up/podcast host from LA who returns to her family home in the deep South after her mother's death, while dealing with her own illness at the same time.

The pilot was praised for its brutal honesty, emotional punches, and deadpan humour, and comes from Notaro, co-writer Diablo Cody (Juno), and executive producer Louis C.K. Expect it to hit a similar level, and receive similar critical acclaim, to Amazon's current major hit dramedy, Transparent.
