Some of thebest streaming services' most enjoyable shows aren’t just great shows; they’ll make you glad you bought one of thebest TVstoo. That’s definitely the case with my two current favourites: in addition to being great shows they’re great-looking shows too, with cinematography that’ll make you love your TV even more.
On the face of it, the shows couldn’t be more different. Hacks onAmazon PrimeVideo is a Las Vegas-set show about an ageing comedian, while Season 3 of Guilt on BBC iPlayer is about two messed-up brothers stumbling into ever more dangerous disasters. But they actually have a lot in common: the writing is top notch, the performances are absolutely superb and whether they’re showing the blazing Vegas sun or a dreich, dark Edinburgh evening they look spectacular on a good TV.
Why you should stream Hacks and Guilt this weekend
Let’s start with Hacks first. Its two seasons have an incredible 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and that rating is well deserved: it’s the tale of how a deeply unlikeable millennial comedy writer (Hannah Einbinder) gets cancelled on the internet and has to take the one job available to her: working with a washed-up Vegas comedian, a career-best role for Jean Smart. Both characters are terrible people, but they’re so beautifully written and acted that you’ll love the show because of that rather than in spite of it. I don’t want to spoil the story; let’s just say it’s an odd-couple comedy that delivers big laughs, a lot of cringe and some really big emotional moments too.
Hacks is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video and Guilt is on BBC iPlayer.
