This is officially the decade that's redefining modern-romance television. Look no further than Hulu's "Casual," Netflix's "Love" and "Master of None" (all great shows, by the way), and this British import from Amazon.

... Coon and/or Regina King make us cry. VEEP (HBO, April 16 th): After creator Armando Iannucci left following the fourth season finale of the filthiest show on TV, I thought there was no way season five would live up to previous ones. But it may have been the best one yet, and it definitely made me laugh out loud more than any other comedy (with the exception of my beloved Review). So we have total faith that Selina Meyers' post-presidency will be just as fucking profane and hilarious as her short-lived presidency was. FARGO (FX, April 19 th): The best anthology series on TV couldn't come back soon enough. After season two jumped in time to 1979, season three will take place in 2010, and could include appearances from characters from season one (including the wonderful Molly Solverson). But even if it doesn't, the new cast is stacked: Ewan Mc Gregor plays brothers (one of whom is the "Parking Lot King Of Minnesota"), Carrie Coon is the female lead (who happens to be a cop), and there's a who's-who of character actors filling in all the other colorful roles and trying on their best ...

... again? That's a premise basically made for film. Sure, it's got some Parent Trap similarities, but Sister, Sister was a great kids show in its own right, filled with silly twin hijinks. And who the hell doesn't love twin hijinks? It's a wonder there aren't 20 movies every year about about twins pulling pranks. Ready or Not. One more Canadian series for you, but it's only because Canadians have the market cornered on excellent kids TV shows. Ready or Not was about Amanda and Busy, best friends raised by very different kinds of parents. Amanda's were New Age hippies, and Busy's were serious, conservative Italian immigrants. The show was quite a beautiful coming-of-age drama, and the concept could easily make for a beautiful film kids. There really aren't enough coming-of-age stories about teenagers made for kids anymore, and Ready or Not could provide a truly wonderful template. Art Attack. Yes, Art Attack: the British show that taught kids how to make art, hosted by Neil ...

... can still be found on enough shows to be considered useful. There are a few things to take into consideration when it comes to how annoying an opening credit intro is. First is how re-watchable it is. If you binge-watch the show, this is crucial. You'll have to endure the credits like enduring commercials, over and over. Next is how long the credits are. And, lastly, is how necessary the credits are. So which shows should we be excited to use the button on? Here we go. The Killing. It's not long, just totally unnecessary. Linden drives her car around Seattle and we get it, it's gloomy. Plus, opening credit sequences are the worst on serialized murder mystery shows like this where you can't wait to see what happens next. House of Cards. At almost two minutes, the House of Cards opening credit sequence is the longest on this list. It's dark and the music is harmless so the annoying factor is low, but the length. Just get to the show, please. Orange is the New Black. Another Netflix Original Series, Orange is the New Black has a highly annoying opening credit sequence that features Regina Spektor's "You've Got Time." ...

... approach to the topic for authenticity. Yes, there will be teenage hookups, jocks and school dances, but they'll be shrouded in the darkness of painful realities that go beyond the screen. Dear White People. Premieres: Friday, April 28. If you haven't heard of Netflix's new series Dear White People, you can get a good idea of the inspiration for it by checking out the comments on the You Tube page of the series' trailer. But if you're scared of (or simply tired of) reading racist tirades from people who hide behind their keyboards, know this: Dear White People is based on the indie film of the same name and satirizes the white establishment as it exists on a college campus. The series is told from the perspective of a handful of black students who attend an Ivy League school and has already drawn hate from the alt-right, which means we're all the more excited to see just what it has in store.

Times Us Versions Improved On The Original

... sums up great TV. Though you might be slightly embarrassed for admitting it. 3. The Office. ©  BBC NBC. Calm down, we're not saying the US remake of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's seminal BBC sitcom is better.
