SD The Actress

If you found Ricky Gervais' Extras too awkward to watch without squirming, The Actress might be more than you can handle. But, if you like your shows dry, dark and humorous, you'll be missing out if you don't give this one a shot. Written and acted by newcomer Anne Carr, the series chronicles the misadventures of a struggling actress in New York City. It alternates between being relatable to anyone who has ever worked hard to make it, and being painfully funny. When the show is at its best, it's both: Carr sobbing as she orders a very specific drink at Starbucks is a prime example. (Once the creators learn how to focus a video camera, it gets even better.)
