This Way Up desrves a spot on your crowded viewing list

This Way Up, which premieres on Hulu on August 21, is a stellar example of one of the challenges in what we've come to know as "peak TV": It doesn't have a star who's famous in the United States, it doesn't have a particularly high concept, and at first glance, there are other shows superficially similar to it. But it's very good, and it's warm and clever, and it will -- or would -- precisely hit the spot for a lot of people, if only they can find it.

Sharon Horgan reveals alternate ending to Catastrophe

"Rob [Delaney] and I both had differing views about how it ended in our heads. Mine's the optimistic one. They have a really hard time, but they get to the shore, the kids are fine. I think Rob's was not as happy an ending."
