Fandom/Canon Name:You're the Worst What's awesome about it: It's a romantic comedy about assholes in love that also regularly turns in nuanced, heartbreaking drama. (Deals a lot with clinical depression and PTSD.) If you like gorgeous people stealing froyo samples, touring murder houses, having enthusiastic sex, and breaking down into tears when they realize the weight of their unhappiness, this is the show for you. The main romance, Gretchen/Jimmy, is one of my favorites on TV--flawed, prickly, warm, and full of chemistry--and Jimmy's roommate Edgar, by far the sweetest person on the show and genuinely adorable, is a fan favorite. There is also terrific femslash potential between Gretchen and her best friend, ditzy mostly-amoral trainwreck-with-a-heart Lindsay. Where to find: The first three seasons are streaming on Hulu and the fourth is currently airing on FXX.
