Kat Sandler presents her crazy.
Disney/Hulu
With dark humor, odious characters, and outlandish plots, Such Brave Girls is the kind of show that viewers either love or hate. To enjoy it requires a strong stomach for secondhand embarrassment and suicide jokes. Its risky debut in 2023 paid off, winning audience acclaim and the 2024 BAFTA for
