If you were a teen in the '00s, then Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle's Pen15 was made for you. Erskine and Konkle play 13-year-old versions of themselves in the cringe-inducing, painfully funny (and way too real) comedy about middle school life in the era of AIM. The comedians elevate what could have been a gimmick — 30-year-old women playing teens — into one of the show's greatest assets as they channel the deep emotions that accompany growing up with startling authenticity.
