Bored to Death (Seasons 1–3)

Bored to Death (2009) is an HBO comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Jason Schwartzman plays Jonathan Ames — a Brooklyn writer stuck on his second novel, freshly dumped, and drinking more white wine than is probably wise. His solution: post an ad online and start moonlighting as an unlicensed private detective, because Raymond Chandler made it look manageable.

Jonathan is not Chandler-ready, and that gap is exactly where the show lives. His orbit includes George Christopher (Ted Danson), his well-heeled and happily reckless magazine editor, and Ray Hueber (Zach Galifianakis), a cartoonist with a talent for his own brand of chaos. Three seasons aired on HBO from 2009 to 2011, with cameos from Kevin Bacon, Parker Posey, and Jim Jarmusch. Small in scale, sharp in tone — the kind of show that sneaks up on you.
