Hot Streets Season 2 walks the beat and extinguishes supernatural crime by perfecting on an already solid formula.
This Hot Streets Season 2 review contains no spoilers.
"Never forget what Hot Streets is really about..."
"It's about solving cases, Bye!"
Television shows can sometimes get attacked for being “random” with their storytelling or comedy, but it’s actually quite difficult to be effectively random. There’s an art to surprising your audience with a complete left turn, yet one that’s not so disconnected or weird that it will alienate viewers.
The same can be said for parodies that take established structures and turn them on their head and breathe fresh life into traditional tropes. Many programs on Adult Swim follow this formula to some degree, but last year the first season of Hot Streets proved that it was particularly special.
It’s simultaneously brilliant and idiotic, but now that it’s...

We go behind the scenes with the creators responsible for Adult Swim’s surreal, uncomfortable, deafening new cop show.
Adult Swim’s tendency to eschew expectations and swing for the fences is practically the norm. In spite of over a decade’s worth of alternative series, Tropical Cop Tales is without a doubt one of the strangest things to ever grace the network. At its surface level the show lampoons basic cop procedurals, but it operates with such an exaggerated, unnerving tone. It’s as if a Tommy Bahama set up a location within David Lynch’s Black Lodge. It’s this extreme, uncomfortable energy that’s become a trademark of the show’s creators, Jim Hosking and Toby Harvard.
Hosking and Harvard have proven to be some of the most unusual emerging filmmakers of today. Their film, The Greasy Strangler is a uniquely strange endeavor, but...

Now that the industry is past its beginning-of-the-year overviews (check out IndieWire’s Most Anticipated TV Shows of 2019), February is upon us. As the film world remains focused on last year in the lead up to the Oscars, there’s still plenty of new series on the TV side worthy of attention. As always seems to be the case when looking at the upcoming calendar for a given month, there is a wide range of offerings across streaming, broadcast, and cable. These also traverse different genres, covering both scripted and unscripted shows.
(We do this roundup of new shows pretty much every month — if you missed any of those previous picks, here are some notable TV premieres from October, November, and December of last year.)
“The ABC Murders”
Hercule Poirot has long been one of the iconic characters from mystery literature. To the long list of performers who’ve played Poirot on screen,...

One year ago, the Sundance Film Festival opened its doors to independent television. In the same way Robert Redford’s Park City playground built bridges between Hollywood’s longstanding studio world and the open-air, burgeoning indie film space, so too did the festival want to connect a booming television industry with the creative minds operating outside of it.
“Last year was such an experiment,” Sundance programmer Charlie Sextro told Indiewire. “It was [set up] to see what worked and what made sense.”
Like any first trial, the inaugural Indie Episodic Section had its successes and slip-ups. Sundance operated as it should: connecting fresh talent with eager buyers, but the atmosphere around television was far different from the one for film. Multiple TV projects sold to vaunted distribution platforms (like Starz and FX), while attendance issues created a conflicting in-the-room perception of the screenings’ overall impact.
This year, there are fewer indie TV pilots than before — 12 entries,...
