The Emmys didn’t create much buzz this year. Perhaps it’s because they were competing with Sunday Night Football, or perhaps because everyone simply forgot they were happening—I know I did. Fewer than seven million people tuned in for the broadcast—the lowest in the award show's history. Despite this, Twitter was still abuzz with fashion judgments, commentary on presenters, and delighted cheers for winners all around. Yet the most shocking thing about the 2019 Emmys is that they weren’t that shocking at all.

I was initially hesitant about Fleabag. It appeared to be riding the same wave of shows that focus on the lives of messy, awkward, sometimes cruel women going about their daily lives in some hip, up–and–coming city; often, they face money issues but never seem to be actually poor, and antagonize those around them, but in a charming way. Think Girls or Love or You’re The Worst, all media which isn’t necessarily bad, but not necessarily new or interesting. Why do we need another show like this when we already had Crazy Ex–Girlfriend? Yet, Fleabag is its own wonderful, perfect beast, and its second season is nominated for 11 Emmys—including Best Comedy Series, Best Lead Actress, and Best Supporting Actress. And frankly, it deserves them all.

Whether you’re a fan of the show or not, HBO’s Euphoria took this summer by storm. Starring Zendaya, Euphoria traces the day–to–day life of 17–year–old Rue Bennett, who just got out of rehab. Throughout the season, the show explores themes of addiction, adolescence, and empathy. The first season received positive critical acclaim with emphasis on its production, cinematography, and soundtrack, which featured artists like Lizzo and Madonna. Euphoria lists Drake and Future the Prince as executive producers, which could explain why the music is as good as it is. With such an extensive collection of songs, Street decided to showcase our top eight songs from a selection of 95 in Euphoria’s Season One soundtrack.

Hulu’s Catch-22 is a show that is impossible to look away from. In the opening scene, viewers watch John Yossarian, U.S. Army bombardier, wanders dazed, naked and covered in blood on a combat airplane runway. An adaption of Joseph Heller’s 1961 satirical World War II novel of the same name, this mini–series portrays the absurdities of war and military life through graphic scenes and paradoxes. Written by Luke Davies and David Michôd, and directed by George Clooney, Grant Heslov, and Ellen Kuras, this star-studded show based on a literary classic meets its lofty ambitions.

First there’s the sound of drums, followed by the surprising rip of an electric guitar. Then flashes of a woman in a blue dress, a loose ribbon twirling around her ankles. Bold white text interrupts her journey through a crowded street, proclaiming that it is 1763, “London is booming,” and “one in five women makes a living selling sex.”

Like many celebrities we direct our attention towards, Zendaya began on Disney—unlike many, she stayed there. Taking breaks to obtain runner–up on “Dancing with the Stars”, play Michelle in the latest “Spiderman” series, and appear in a Bruno Mars music video, the 22–year–old has had her hands full curating a family–friendly image for her audience.

When most people think of dating shows, a few classics pop up in their heads—The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and maybe Love Island. These shows all have the same premise—hot men trying to date hot women, or vice versa. These cookie–cutter heterosexual relationships begin to seem repetitive, and there’s only so many times we can watch a beautiful girl cry over a fuck boy (I’m looking at you, Luke P.). Luckily, MTV is looking to change the predictability this season by making the cast of their long–running dating show Are You The One? sexually fluid.

Thanks to social media and Netflix Specials, it appears that today we’re in a golden age for comedy. To date, Netflix has distributed nearly 200 original stand–up specials featuring household names like Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen DeGeneres, and Kevin Hart while introducing lesser–known names through The Comedy Lineup, Comedians of the World and several other stand–up collections. Today, comedy pushes beyond the stage. Twitter, operating through memes and one–liners, has kickstarted several careers in comedy. Now more than ever among the many garnering laughs are women of all backgrounds.

At first glance, Tuca & Bertie looks very familiar—and for a good reason. Netflix’s latest animated comedy series was created by Lisa Hanawalt, the production designer and producer of the show Bojack Horseman. With similar-looking anthropomorphic characters and dark humor, Tuca & Bertie is set up to be another thought–provoking and successful show. While like Bojack Horseman, the show aims to tackle real–world moral issues, it does so in a lighter way. Think Bojack Horseman mixed with your favorite female friendship comedies like Broad City, Grace and Frankie or Insecure.

I need to stop living in the books. I got it in my head that Game of Thrones would be the perfect adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire—and it was for seasons 1 through 4—however, it's clear now that this is basically a standalone show created by show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. I had to watch this episode over three times before I finally saw the real magic hidden in it—every scene felt so intentional and calculated. I was left shocked and awed every time. While I can't say that this episode was without its flaws, I can confidently say that many of the bigger moments of this week's episode have been building up for years—we just haven't been paying close enough attention.

Long gone are the days where cartoons were strictly reserved for small children and hazy late–night re–runs. In the last decade or so, comedic adult–oriented animation has been on the rise, and for good reason, too. Combining whimsical animation styles with adult subject matter and humor produces a seemingly contradictory form of entertainment. But opposites are sometimes better together than they are apart. So if you're in the mood for the sweet–and–salty mix that is adult animation, check out these ten shows that do it best.

I am officially eating my own words. Sunday's episode was much stronger than the first—this one had better character interactions, better dialogue, and while the pace was a little slower, this was a virtue when compared to last week's breakneck pace that ran faster than Gendry. This episode was bitter–sweet and full of sexual tension, but it was hard to really enjoy it knowing that this was the final night many of our favorite characters would spend in the world of the living. The army of the dead is outside of the walls of Winterfell, but before the second War for the Dawn begins, we're greeted with some of the the sweetest moments of the entire series.

After almost two years of waiting, Winter has finally returned, and I want a jacket because it is absolutely chilling. As an avid watcher and a dedicated fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, I have been waiting for many of the payoffs that we saw in last night's episode for years. While the premiere was visually stunning and full of content, this is not the same Game of Thrones that I once loved.

The sitcom is one of the most treasured forms of American media, often defining a generation with a specific sense of humor and creating a common language among its viewers. The “situational comedy” centers on a set of characters in the same setting as they go about their lives—they enter new relationships, lose others, and have to make grand life choices before our very eyes. Perhaps one of the most influential shows for the current generation has been Friends, which, while premiering in the 1990s, has enjoyed a revival among an audience of young adults with time to kill.

The strange and ever–changing horror genre seems to currently be dominated by names like Jordan Peele, Ari Aster, and John Krasinski—and rightly so. Their works are inventive, terrifying, and challenge viewers to redefine what they believe to be the typical horror film. But no matter how much time has passed, we can't overlook the classics—and no one does classic horror better than Stephen King.

Anime has been granted its boom in the West. Shows and movies that might've only been found on Cartoon Network in the early 2000s, and only watched by nerdy kids, have weaved their way into mainstream culture—in lyric references, on Kim K’s Instagram, and even at the Oscars. What’s all the talk about? And why do so many rappers rap about going “Super Saiyan?”

This spring, Keeping Up with the Kardashians is airing its 16th season. For some people, this signifies 16 seasons too many, while others revel in the Kardashian’s prolonged period in the limelight. The first season of the reality TV show aired in 2007 which, believe it or not, was more than 10 years ago.

Fans have been waiting two years for the final season of Game of Thrones, and what better to do with all that time than speculate? Here are the top five fan theories for season eight, ranked from likely to completely out–there. Warning: spoilers ahead for all previous seasons.

For college students, high school is mostly out of sight and out of mind. Present day situations call for present day attention, and that usually means putting aside irrelevant memories and experiences from years past. But they’re still there—and On My Block captures both the good and the bad that comes from looking back on what we all experienced.
