Originally airing on Fox for six seasons, Malcolm in the Middle came out during a different time for television. But the show, which centers on Malcolm and his quirky family, remains just as captivating now as it was when it first premiered in 2000. With its recent release on Hulu as Life’s Still Unfair, the series has returned and is now fully embracing the world of streaming.
Denzel Washington’s first film, the 1981 comedy Carbon Copy, wasn’t successful when it came out. Later, his 1997 collaboration with Spike Lee, He Got Game, also didn’t perform well in theaters.

Like much of the show Big Mistakes, this scene is fast-paced and chaotic, with quick cuts and characters often talking over each other. Created by John Levy and Rachel Sennott, the series centers on a small, bad decision that quickly spirals out of control. The main character, Morgan, struggles with emotional detachment and substance use, and often blurs the line between funny and upsetting situations. When she impulsively shoplifts a necklace, she and her friend Nicky find themselves caught up in a ridiculous chain of crimes, lies, and shocking discoveries that only escalate from there. The result is a remarkably tense comedy, similar in tone to Sennott’s previous show I Love LA, or fitting into the current trend of darkly funny, high-stress shows like Barry, The Bear, and Beef.
The show gives its central figure a peaceful and dignified death, something rare to see. He dies at home, without pain, holding a loved one’s hand, and seems to find solace in a vision of his best friend and colleagues who have passed. He finds closure knowing he finally fulfilled a promise made decades ago – rescuing Lee, just as he’d vowed to do for a fellow pilot lost in Korea. It’s a bit sentimental to discover Shane Baldwin was named after a fallen pilot, but it fits the show’s themes of honor and loyalty. However, it’s also typical for this series to abruptly end the life of that same son, Shane, early in the show’s run. This universe balances heartwarming moments with harsh realities, and doesn’t shy away from either.
The most successful shows were created by people with genuine stories to tell, and they favored real, physical effects over digital ones whenever they could. This approach keeps the series feeling believable, even years later. Great shows remain enjoyable today, even if you’re watching them for the first time on streaming. Here are a few series from the 1980s that were built on solid foundations and still hold up well.
