4. Gilmore Girls
Long before ‘The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’ premiered, its creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino had created another witty, acclaimed comedy — Gilmore Girls, which aired from 2000 to 2007. The show revolves around the relationship between single mom, Lorelai Gilmore, and her teenage daughter, Rory, as they live in a quirky small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. During the run of the show, the viewer ratings were relatively less. But its audience has grown steadily, ever since it was made available on Netflix, and is now considered a cult classic.

5. The Morning Show
When you think of Jennifer Anniston, and Reese Witherspoon working together, you imagine it to be frothy and funny. The Morning Show is, in contrast, dark and disturbing as it tackles sexism at work, the aftermath of the #MeToo movement and sexual harassment. Jennifer Anniston’s performance has been hailed as one of her best. Reese Witherspoon too shows off her acting chops as scrappy reporter Bradley Jackson.
