The icy reset that is the Issa Lopez createdTrue Detective: Night Countrywas another such high.

JERROD CARMICHAEL REALITY SHOW HBO

Jerrod Carmichael is one of funniest and sharpest comedians of his or any generation.

He is also by far the most honest, to a fault at times.

THE SYMPATHIZER HBO

TakeViet Thanh Nguyens Pulitzer-winning novel about the Vietnam War a.k.a.

A mind bending and realpolitik bursting result that rests on the shoulders of Hoa Xuande.

And let me tell you, those superstar-to-be shoulders are rock solid just likeThe Sympathizeritself.

ECHO Disney+

TRUE DETECTIVE: NIGHT COUNTRY HBO

Jodie Foster.

An evocative mystery within a murder masterfully crafted by showrunner Issa Lopez.

Did I mention Jodie Foster and Kali Reis?
