The 11 Best TV Shows of September 2019

The Four Weddings and a Funeral finale, which dropped earlier this month, was so, so wonderful. The episode was the perfect way to wrap up the Hulu miniseries that got better with every episode, and watching all the characters we’ve grown to love and care for so much find their happy endings was the TV joy so many of us crave. — Lea Palmieri

Part sitcom, part extreme home makeover, part fly-on-the-wall docuseries, A Very Brady Sequel is unlike any home reno show you’ve ever seen before–and it’s also the best one on TV right now. The original Brady kids team-up with an Avengers-style roster of top HGTV talent to turn the house used for exterior shots of the Brady home into the actual house from the show, which only ever existed on sound stages. It’s a wild idea, as pretty much every single square foot of the home gets torn apart and built back up, but what’s truly surprising is how much heart is in this show. — Brett White

Here’s what Decider’s Brett White had to say in his recent review of Superstore: “Superstore has grown a lot since I called it the millennial successor to Cheers in May 2018. The show has rapidly evolved beyond the Cheers connection I originally saw, but it remains similar in one key way: it’s showing no sign of decline. In fact, Season 5—just going by the stellar season premiere—could very well be the best, most impactful, and important season of the show’s run.”

The Great British Baking Show continues to be one of the most delectable shows on Netflix. However this latest season might be the most controversial one yet. The bakers are as lovely and chummy as usual, but some of the judges’ choices smack of favoritism like never before. Nevertheless, The Great British Baking Show is still one of the most stellar reality competitions ever, and we’re head-over-heels for the sweet bakers of this season. — Meghan O’Keefe

Below Deck Mediterranean continues to be one of the best summer TV shows every year, and as the season, both summer and BDM, comes to a close, they couldn’t let us face the fall without the appearance of an old friend. Chef Ben Robinson’s return to the Bravo series was the exact ingredient this recipe for entertainment called for. — Lea Palmieri

Here’s what Decider’s Kayla Cobb had to say about The Politician in her review of the show: “The very first thing you notice about The Politician, producer Ryan Murphy’s first series for Netflix, is that it’s gorgeous. Every frame practically bleeds money as characters float through scenes in outfits so perfectly constructed they seem painted on. The second thing you notice is that none of those gorgeous clothes or flawless settings matter, because The Politician is a case study into the calculated hollowness of our elected officials that nonetheless manages to feel deeply vulnerable and human.”

Have you ever seen a piece of art so raw and authentic it’s almost painful to look at? That’s what Undone is. Created by BoJack Horseman‘s Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Kate Purdy for Amazon, Undone tells the story of a young woman who’s drifting through life after the death of her father. She doesn’t know who she is or even who she wants to become. But after a near fatal car accident, she seemingly gains the ability to alter reality itself. Gorgeously animated and surprisingly funny, Undone brilliantly toes the line between being a compelling chosen one story and a heartbreaking exploration into one young woman who may be losing her mind. — Kayla Cobb

Succession shouldn’t be as relatable as it is, right? We’re not billionaires. We’re not in the midst of a familial power struggle that involves near constant manipulation and emotional abuse. And yet who among us can watch poor Cousin Greg without deeply empathizing with his plight? Succession has a knack for making unconscionable behavior and unimaginable opulence relatable. The acting’s exceptional; the writing is pitch-perfect; and the silver-tongued barbs from the Roy family are a non-stop source of entertainment.  — Josh Sorokach

The second I noticed a new Good Place eatery named “Lasagne Come Out Tomorrow,” I thanked my lucky stars that Michael Schur’s afterlife comedy was back. The Good Place just keeps getting better as the series enters its fourth and final season. After years of reboots, philosophical quandaries, and the very best Florida/Arizona burns on television, the fate of all of humanity rests on the shoulders of four endearing dum-dumbs, a reformed demon, and a Janet. I have absolutely no idea how the fork The Good Place will end, but I’m excited to find out. — Josh Sorokach

How have we gone all this time without a darkly satirical yet soberingly real take on the mega church industry and the millionaire pastors that get rich literally selling salvation to thousands of followers? Maybe taking on capitalistic Christianity is a bit of a hot topic, but Danny McBride ain’t scared–especially not with John Goodman, Adam DeVine, and Walton Goggins by his side. But really, it’s Edi Patterson and Jennifer Nettles that make this show sing. — Brett White

Unbelievable is a shockingly empathetic reinvention of the true crime drama. Based on a horrific real story, the series opens on the trauma of a teen girl reporting her rape to law enforcement. However, instead of taking up her cause, the police turn on her and accuse her of making it all up. This gross miscarriage of justice is only rectified by a thrilling detective duo played by Merritt Wever and Toni Collette. The show toggles between their earnest and empathetic investigation and what happened to the poor girl in question. Unbelievable is the rare crime drama that never lets you forget that the victims deserve justice. — Meghan O’Keefe
