Great News

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Great News is available on streaming right now. Every one of its 2 seasons holds up. With 84 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Briga Heelan's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Great News is worth clearing space for. Great News does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A New Jersey mom puts her relationship with her daughter to the test when she lands an internship at the same TV station where her daughter works. The chemistry Briga Heelan and Andrea Martin bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. 2 seasons (2017–2018) gave the story room most shows never get. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Great News holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Great News respects your intelligence. Fans of Bad Judge will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Briga Heelan sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Great News was cancelled in 2018, created by Tracey Wigfield — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
