The Shining Vale (HBO)
The Shining Vale is a darkly comedic series created by Sharon Horgan and Jeff Astrof, directed by Liz Friedlander. Blending supernatural thrills with sharp domestic satire, the show follows Pat (Courteney Cox) as she navigates a haunted house, a crumbling marriage, and her own fragile sense of sanity. Through humor, horror, and psychological insight, the series explores the pressures of family, gender roles, and societal expectations, inviting viewers to confront the ghosts — both literal and metaphorical — that haunt everyday life.
Hazbin Hotel (Prime)
Hazbin Hotel is an adult animated musical created by Vivienne Medrano (VivziePop), blending dark comedy, vibrant world-building, and sharp social commentary. Set in a neon-chaotic Hell, the story follows Charlie Morningstar, the optimistic daughter of Lucifer, whose radical plan to rehabilitate sinners challenges a violent system upheld by Heaven’s extremist “purity.” With Broadway-style music, unsettling humor, and bold political undertones, the pilot asks whether redemption is possible in a world built on punishment — and who gets to define morality in the first place.
