These shows are a must-see before your time is used up studying for exams ADAM RUSH head copy editor | @adamrush01 Don’t judge a show by its title. “iZombie” is a great option if you’re looking to have fun and relax. The show focuses on human-turned-zombie Liv Moore (get the pun?) and her job as a medical examiner in a Seattle police department. Every time Liv eats a brain, she adopts that victim’s personality, allowing for great comedic performances from lead actress Rose McIver. However, while it may seem like just a comedy, iZombie can also hit emotionally when it needs to. All around, it’s a solid show and a great distraction from the oppressive system meant to eternally punish us for our failures:
“Killing Eve” is one of the best shows on TV right now. It stars Sandra Oh and Jodie Cromer, with Oh as an MI6 agent bored with her life and Cromer as an assassin who loves absolutely everything about her job. A cat and mouse spy thriller starring two women, “Killing Eve” redefines what it means to watch a crime drama. Simultaneously violent, hilarious, dark, heartfelt and weird in every moment, the show displays amazing writing in a variety of different tones. With standout performances from Oh and Cromer, the first season has eight episodes that are perfect to binge before taking your tests.
If you’re looking for a humorous, easy to watch show, “The Good Place” should be your go-to choice. Created by Mike Schur, “The Good Place” is a network comedy centered around four people who find themselves in the afterlife. Despite being wildly funny, each episode sets out to answer the fundamental question of what it means to be a good person. The characters are played to perfection by Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, D’arcy Carden and more. “The Good Place” is innovative, whimsical and genuine, making it one of the best comedies airing on TV right now.
