Hannah (Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams), Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) are trying to figure life out. They’ve been living in New York City for a couple of years, but they’re still not sure what they want – from boys, from each other, from themselves. And things aren’t getting any clearer.

Big Little Lies (2017-2019); 2 seasons; 14 episodes
Based on Liane Moriarty’s bestselling book, and starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoё Kravitz, this subversive, darkly comedic drama weaves a tale of murder and mischief as it explores society’s myth of perfection and the contradictions that exist beneath our idealized façade of marriage, sex, parenting and friendship. Set in the tranquil, seaside town of Monterey, California, nothing is as it seems. Doting moms, successful husbands, adorable children, beautiful homes. This allusion of perfection begins to erode the night of a school fundraiser which leaves the community reeling as the “Monterey Five” bond together to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. Iconic actress Meryl Streep joins this stellar cast for season two, which further explores the malignancy of lies, the durability of friendships, the fragility of marriage and the vicious ferocity of sound parenting. Relationships will fray, loyalties will erode…the potential for emotional and bodily injury shall loom. Alexander Skarsgård, Adam Scott, James Tupper and Jeffrey Nordling co-star.
His Dark Materials (2019-); 1 season; 8 episodes
His Dark Materials takes place in a world parallel to our own, where a human’s soul exists outside one’s body in the form of a talking animal called a “daemon.” The all-powerful Magisterium rule over this world where they suppress any knowledge that attempts to challenge its ideas, particularly around the theory that multiple worlds exist. Season One of this compelling HBO series follows Lyra (Dafne Keen), a young orphan who was left as a baby at Oxford’s Jordan College by her uncle Lord Asriel (James McAvoy) and desires a life of adventure beyond the confines of her bookish, scholarly surroundings. But when Lyra’s best friend goes missing, her search for her kidnapped friend uncovers a plot involving stolen children and transforms into a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon known as Dust. Over the course of the season, as she journeys through the different worlds – including our own – Lyra encounters extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living and the dead at stake.

During the day, high school senior Veronica negotiates the halls of Neptune High like any average teenage girl.
