- Girls5Eva. Peacock | Comedy | 8 episodes. Created by Meredith Scardino. It may be because I was a tween when the Spice Girls were at their zenith, or I’m just a sucker for shows with women in their 30s and 40s grappling with the realization that they suddenly became responsible adults when they weren’t looking.
- We Are Lady Parts. Peacock | Comedy | 6 episodes. Created by Nida Manzoor. It may be no coincidence that two of my favorite comedies of the year are ones about women coming together to make music.
- Hacks. HBO Max | Comedy | 10 episodes. Created by Jen Statsky, Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello. Stand-up comedy has come under significant fire in recent years and has long had a reputation as actively hostile to women.
- Run the World. STARZ | Comedy | 8 episodes. Created by Rachelle Williams. One of the things I really enjoyed about the comedy Run the World is that its unapologetic celebration of Black womanhood feels both fresh and familiar.
