This Weekend I Have … an Hour, and I Like Friendship Drama

‘This Close’

When to watch: Midnight on Thursdays and Fridays, on Sundance TV.

Kate and Michael ( Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman , who are also this show’s creators) are best friends — but they’re locked in a crummy cycle of codependence, one in which they understand each other very well but understand themselves far less. The discrimination they encounter because they are deaf is the background radiation of their lives, and one among many reasons they tend to operate as a unit.

Season 1, available on the subscription service AMC Premiere, lays important groundwork, but this second season is richer and deeper, and more dynamic. (Season 2 airs on SundanceTV Thursdays and Fridays at midnight, in two-episode blocs; the episodes appear on AMC Premiere just after.)
