Documentary Now! (Netflix & IFC) - Wednesday at 11pm
You can binge season 1 & 2 on Netflix, then hop over to IFC for the latest and most on point season. Created by Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Seth Meyers, each episode parodies beloved documentaries and their specific style of story telling. The professionalism behind each almost makes you forget the subtle absurdity peppered throughout. The creators and star-studded cast go all in on each production making you wonder if what you are watching is truly a farce. No need to start at the beginning for continuity purposes, but be sure not to miss season 1, episode 1 “Sandy Passage” and season 2, episode 2 "Juan Likes Rice & Chicken" if you enjoy perfection.

Drunk History (Hulu & Comedy Central) - Tuesday at 10pm
When Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner created the web series with Funny or Die back in 2007 they may not have planned on its longevity or on how many comedians would agree to get black out drunk on national television and recount a historical event from start to finish. The inebriated storytellers layout intoxicating and educational plot lines that are acted out by the dedicated ensemble casts. Having won Emmy’s for costume design, the production value is always fantastic, but the key to the hilarity lies in the actors effortlessly mimicking the drunken mouth sounds of the more-than-tipsy narrator.

Shrill (Hulu) - March 15th
Lorne Michaels and Elizabeth Banks executive produce the comedy starring Aidy Bryant based on Lindy West’s book Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman. Aidy’s “Annie” starts to truly feel herself and live her life accordingly. While honestly and hilariously navigating unhealthy romances, unsupportive bosses, and supposed healthy diets, Annie begins to understand her worth. With stellar comedic backing on all sides, Shrill should not disappoint while showing how not to settle for a disappointing life.
