What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Leanne is a story-based comedy built around a grandmother who finds herself single after 33 years of marriage, and the show treats that premise with dry wit rather than melodrama. The humor is domestic and specific, the kind that comes from family dynamics rubbing against a woman who is quietly, stubbornly holding herself together with grace and, apparently, jello salad.

The comedy never tips into broad farce; it stays close to the texture of ordinary life suddenly made strange. Leanne's family is both her support system and her source of friction, and the show finds its jokes in that gap between the help people offer and the help that's actually wanted. The tone is warm without being soft, and the absurdity stays grounded enough that the funny moments and the harder ones sit comfortably in the same scene.

All Jason and Nikki want is a baby, but it's the one thing they just can't have. So, they decide to adopt. With their dysfunctional friends, screwball family, and chaotic lives will the adoption panel think they're ready to be parents?

Why this pick

Trying delivers the same gentle, heartfelt comedy vibe as Leanne, where everyday awkwardness turns into real comfort. The couple’s nervous honesty and bureaucratic mess play out in small domestic scenes, and supporting characters add light screwball friction, but the stakes feel more couple-focused and tender, less late-life and reflective.

Diarra Brickland (Kilpatrick), a schoolteacher going through a divorce, refuses to believe that she's been rejected by her Tinder date.

Why this pick

Diarra from Detroit shares Leanne’s knack for turning personal reinvention into laughs that still sting a little. Ghosted dating frustration escalates into escalating weirdness, and the lead’s stubborn refusal to move on keeps the pacing propulsive, with danger and suspense creeping in, stranger and darker than Leanne’s steady family warmth.
