12. Lady Dynamite

From one real-life inspired comedy to another, Lady Dynamite is loosely based on the experiences of its star, comedian Maria Bamford.

Bamford plays a fictionalised version of herself in the series, as she moves back to LA after months away in recovery for bipolar disorder and attempts to rebuild her life and career.

The show, which comes from South Park's Pam Brady and Arrested Development's Mitch Hurwitz, blended its comedic elements with a more thoughtful portrayal of mental health to great effect and critical acclaim. Season 2 should offer up more of the same.

Release Date: November 10
