Saturday Night Live (1975)
Saturday Night Live is streaming in the UK on Sky Go, Now TV.
The verdict
Saturday Night Live earns its keep as a steady English series that knows its audience. It carries a 6.9/10 on TMDB across 528 ratings — squarely mid-table. In the UK you can stream it on Sky Go, Now TV.
Is it worth starting?
This is 52 seasons deep — English comedy with a news streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- 6.9/10 from 528 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
A late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels. The show's comedy sketches, which parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast, and features performances by a musical guest.
