‘Inside’: Written and shot in a single room, Bo Burnham’s comedy special, streaming on Netflix, turns the spotlight on internet life mid-pandemic.Here are some of the highlights selected by The Times’s TV critics: Television this year offered ingenuity, humor, defiance and hope. “Happy Valley” is mostly about this community, where beautiful landscapes are marred by pockets of extreme poverty, and where everybody seems to know everybody else’s business. But the show’s creator Sally Wainwright is just as interested in her heroine’s complicated home-life (where she lives with her emotionally unstable grandson and her ex-junkie sister), as well as the social conditions that fostered this series’ cast of drug-dealers, kidnappers, rapists and serial killers. There’s a strong procedural element to “Happy Valley,” as Catherine finds clues, asks questions and tracks her prey. Watch… if you like character-driven crime stories. What is it about? In the modest northern metropolis of West Yorkshire, the police sergeant Catherine Cawood finds herself pursuing cases that have ties to her own troubled past. Through its Watching newsletter, What to Watch page and many curated lists, The New York Times looks to guide readers through the chaotic world of streaming services and offer recommendations of the best films and TV shows to watch.
