As we transition from one month to another, our Channel Surfing TV picks continues to plug along. Prepare for more absurd comedy when I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson returns. See what Broadchurch would be if the crime drama had a funny edge with Deadloch. Then, The Weeknd steps away from music to star in his own series, The Idol.
It’s Showtime!
I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson became a much beloved sketch comedy show due to its strange and surreal humor. It is even critically acclaimed having won a Primetime Emmy and other accolades.
It’s the type of show you can’t even explain to others what it’s about; you just have to watch it. Even the latest trailer with its chaotic nature can’t give it justice. This season, expect special guests including Jason Schwartzman, Tim Meadows, Fred Armisen, Sam Richardson, Will Forte, Patti Harrison, Ayo Edebiri, Mitra Jouhari, Tim Heidecker, Beck Bennett, Biff Wiff, Conner O’Malley and Carmen Christopher.
Binge I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson season three beginning Tuesday, May 30, on Netflix.
