‘The Bondsman’ (2025)
Created by Grainger David, The Bondsman is an action horror series starring Kevin Bacon as a bounty hunter whose life takes a supernatural turn. The show follows Hub Halloran (Bacon), who is murdered while tracking a bounty but brought back to life to hunt down demons who have escaped Hell. The show also stars Jennifer Nettles, Beth Grant, Damon Herriman, Maxwell Jenkins, and Jolene Purdy in lead roles.
Kevin Bacon as an undead bounty hunter is a premise that’s hilarious in and of itself, and The Bondsman more than delivers on its promise with a hilarious and gory narrative that masterfully blends violent horror and dark humor. Bolstered by Bacon’s charming lead performance, it’s a pulpy and wildly entertaining show that earned highly positive reviews from critics and genre fans. In spite of all that, the series was canceled after just one season. But on the bright side, that does make it the perfect show for a post-Halloween binge-watch.

‘One Mississippi’ (2015 – 2018)
Created by Tig Notaro and Diablo Cody, One Mississippi is a comedy series that stars Notaro as LA radio host Tig Bavaro, who returns to her hometown in Mississippi after her mother suffers an unexpected fall. Moving in temporarily with her brother and stepfather, she learns more about her mother’s past and the town she left behind. The series also stars Noah Harpster, John Rothman, and Cailey Fleming in lead roles, with Rya Kihlstedt, Casey Wilson, Stephanie Allynne, and more playing recurring characters.
A moving dramedy anchored by the performance and comedic ability of its talented lead, One Mississippi was quite well-received by critics and audiences during its original two-season run on Prime Video. The show bagged a couple of accolades as well, including a Critics’ Choice TV Award for Most Exciting New Series and two nominations for GLAAD Media Awards. Sadly, the series was canceled by the streaming service after the second season, supposedly because it didn’t bring in a wide enough audience. Despite the cancellation, the show is still one of Prime Video’s most entertaining, heartfelt, and grounded comedies, and it deserves a lot more credit than it gets.
