This Fool's first great joke is that, despite Luis' swagger, he might be even more desperate than Julio, adrift in a changed world where all his old gang buddies are either dead or semi-retired (and all his Austin Powers jokes are problematic). Quiñones is Luis, Julio's much cooler and much more incarcerated cousin, fresh off an 8-year prison sentence. Co-creator Estrada plays Julio, a well-intentioned guy who works in the non-profit sector and thus lives with his mother. (The show already earned a season 2 renewal, so AMC is clearly bullish on its prospects.) - D.F.Ĭhris Estrada and Frankie Quiñones star in this utterly delightful odd-couple sitcom, which debuted in August and demands more attention now. But the seven-part season gets an added jolt from the addition of Claudia (Bailey Bass), a teen vampire with extremely poor impulse control. The present-day bookends with Eric Bogosian's endearingly gruff journalist get repetitive, and some of the world-building toward what AMC has boldly called "The Immortal Universe" feels undercooked. Interview's clever twist is to define the central relationship, transforming the Louis-Lestat dynamic into something like a troubled gay marriage. This first season mostly fleshes out his life in early 20th century New Orleans, where the ecstatically cruel and classy Lestat ( Sam Reid) welcomes Louis into the vampire life. Jacob Anderson stars as Louis, an immortal bloodsucker with a long life story to tell. Don't miss this Anne Rice adaptation, though, which puts a distinctive new spin on its material. If you watch just one fantasy reboot this fall… well, you're probably watching the Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings spin-offs. With pun-tastic running gags, brutally funny streamer satire, and the fall's best ensemble cast, this is finally a Reboot worth watching. HEAVY BOOKENDS TVReed ( Keegan-Michael Key) and his one-time TV wife/off-screen girlfriend Bree ( Judy Greer) reluctantly fall back into their old bicker-flirt patterns newly sober burnout Clay ( Johnny Knoxville) needs the show to work because he can't get arrested in Hollywood (except for disorderly conduct) and former child star Zack (Callum Worthy) has no real-world skills after growing up on sets. While Hannah untangles herself from years of resentment and clashes with Gordon over his old-fashioned (slash problematic) comedy instincts, the reunited Step Right Up cast has their own emotional baggage to unpack. When Hannah ( Rachel Bloom) pitches Hulu on a progressive reboot of the cheesy 2000s sitcom Step Right Up, the streamer jumps on the idea - provided she works with her estranged father, Gordon ( Paul Reiser), who created the original. Steve Levitan takes the show-within-a-show concept to new meta heights with Reboot, a savvy deconstruction of hackneyed sitcom tropes that also delivers smart laughs.
