Television: Rick and Morty
If you’re already watching this show, this is old news; you’ve drunk the pickle brine and you’re in for the ride. But some of you haven’t yet given in to this Dan Harmon/Justin Roliand animated series, and with its fourth season resuming next month, now’s the perfect time to catch up. Just know that it’s smart, brilliant even; and like Harmon’s Community (now streaming on Netflix in addition to Hulu, BTW), it’s an inexhaustible source of quotable hilarity. Seasons 1-3 streaming on Hulu; Season 4 continues May 3 on Adult Swim. –Geoff Carter

Music: Windy & Carl
Detroit couple Windy Weber and Carl Hultgren released new album Allegiance and Conviction last month, and it sent me deep into the space/drone/dream duo’s immaculate catalog, which dates back to 1993. Unfamiliar? Start with 1996 beauty Drawing of Sound (YouTube link: bit.ly/2R7cRlk), then hit windyandcarl.bandcamp.com for 1998’s Depths and begin working forward. These sublime, slow-moving soundscapes have never felt more healing or hypnotic. –Spencer Patterson

Television: Feel Good
This British series, co-written by Canadian comedian Mae Martin, follows a new couple as they dive headfirst into love, only realizing too late that they actually know very little about one another. As Mae struggles to face her addictions and her partner grapples with her sexuality, the pair’s personal problems overwhelm the relationship, but Martin’s comedic pacing keeps Feel Good’s six episodes a binge-worthy breeze. Netflix. –Leslie Ventura

Television: Curb Your Enthusiasm
Curb Your Enthusiasm is prestige television at its funniest. Seinfeld co-creator Larry David plays a fictionalized version of himself, alongside a small, ensemble cast and a passel of celebrity guests (some play characters, some sorta play themselves). The conceit is the blurring of the lines between reality and fiction, and the laughs come from Larry’s incessant kvetching, social miscues and absurd faux pas. The show, which debuted 20 years ago and aired its 100th episode to conclude Season 10 last month, remains pretty good. Pretty, pretty good. All seasons streaming on HBO. –Genevie Durano

Podcast: Wondery Podcasts
Your eyes are blurred from too much screen time, but your brain still desperately needs distraction. Try listening to the cornucopia of podcasts published by indie publisher Wondery. The storytelling and audio are top-notch, leading many shows to hit No. 1 on the Apple Podcasts chart. There are a variety of topics, but the true-crime stories are the best, especially The Dating Game Killer, which tracks the history of a serial killer who was also a contestant on a 1978 episode of the TV game show of the same name. Dr. Death is another must-listen, and there’s even a Joe Exotic: Tiger King podcast. –C. Moon Reed
