2 Best Movies to Watch by Abby McEnany

This underrated, semi-autobiographical series follows Abby (Abby McEnany), a queer person struggling with OCD and depression. She navigates life's ups and downs with humor that is both offbeat and sympathetic, but things quickly take a turn for the romantic when Abby's sister sets her up with Chris, a trans man 20 years her junior.

Relatable, hilarious, and frank, the miniseries is a tender gem of a show. It's also effortlessly relevant, which checks out: creator and star Abby McEnany mines inspiration from her own experience as a queer artist, while executive producer Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix) reportedly made a big push for authentic trans representation.

Combining elements of a police procedural with other action-thriller quirks, Tracker stands as a familiar but nevertheless competently made drama that sits snugly between easy viewing and harder-edged entertainment for adults. With only a few episodes out at the time of this writing, the jury's still out on whether Tracker will be able to focus on larger themes or at least a more unified worldview, the absence of which has made these current episodes feel more inconsequential than they probably should. But Colter Shaw's vulnerability and his wide range of abilities—not to mention Justin Hartley's naturally magnetic presence on screen—give the series a dynamic, slightly unpredictable quality that similar shows lack.
