‘Edgy Laughs’ Review: Nathan Lane and Matt Bomer Star in Hulu’s Cutting-Edge 1987 Comedy

Image
The architecture-inspired title of Hulu's Mid-Century Modern , a sitcom that has virtually no connection to architecture, brings forth an atmosphere that feels both vintage and contemporary, steeped in nostalgia but still very much relevant today, lagging slightly behind the cultural trends yet remaining perpetually fashionable.

Here, under his direction, this style has been updated for today’s more forward-thinking and casual streaming landscape. Mutchnik, Kohan, and Burrows pioneered new territory with Will & Grace , but like the Soap In the 1980s, they encountered numerous obstacles due to the state of broadcast tel...
