The shortened first season plays more like a TV miniseries and will take you less than an afternoon. And when it comes to the show’s smack-talking bros, there’s a favorite for everyone, be it crass, sex-obsessed loose cannon Rafi or Kevin and Jenny, who despite occasionally playing the goofy-dad/smart-mom TV-cleaning-product commercial dichotomy, will remind you of all the things you liked about the good relationships you’ve been in. This semi-improvised show is wonderful, weird and features a bunch of people who are very funny but usually relegated to more bit roles in TV and movies (Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer, Katie Aselton, etc.). It’s basically Friends, if Ross and Chandler were allowed to call each other “shit-sippers” on primetime network TV. For all its NFL-star cameos and inside-baseball terminology, The League, at its heart, is really just a show about a group of friends who like to compete with and talk smack about each other. Without further ado, comrades, read our list of the 28 best FX series of all time.ĭon’t let all the fantasy football talk deter you if you’re not into sports. And though FX faces plenty of challenges going forward, including the rise of streaming and Game of Thrones’ influence on big-budget TV, its track record-as seen in the titles below-promises continued success in a fast-changing art form.
(For my money, the network was home to TV’s best drama, best comedy, and best limited series in 2018). If FX has a “house style,” it’s to twist convention further than any of its competitors, producing a slate that might be the medium’s best.
Espionage thrillers, superhero adventures, romantic comedies, legal dramas, cop shows, even the family sitcom and a fucked-up Friends.
From Ryan Murphy (the impresario behind a remarkable four series on this list) and Noah Hawley ( Fargo, Legion) to Donald Glover ( Atlanta) and Pamela Adlon ( Better Things), FX Networks’ John Landgraf, the programming whiz credited with coin the term “peak TV,” has cultivated a wide range of talents and supported series in a dizzying array of genres. Since the debut of The Shield in 2002-due respect to Son of the Beach and the other original series that came before it-FX and its sister network, FXX, have emerged as the home to a number of the boldest voices in television.
