1. Comrade Detective

If you hvaen't already, you might want to check out this satirical comedy starring Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt . The plot revolves around an '80s buddy cop series which promoted Communist ideals, inspired a deep nationalism and was watched by millions of Romanians. Now it's been digitally remastered and dubbed in English for the first time, with Tatum and Gorden-Levitt lending their voices. It's currently available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Difficult People

2. Difficult People

Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner star in this Hulu comedy about two aspiring comedians trying to make it in New York City. Season 3 premiered on Tuesday, Aug. 8 with three new episodes including one in which they interrupt a live CBS broadcast featuring the cast of The Big Bang Theory. Much like the first two, this new season will feature plenty of hijinks and not much success. But hey, that's the way we like it.
