I've really been enjoying Resident Alien. It kept being advertised to me and I finally caved. Alan Tudyk plays an alien trying to be human so well.
I've not heard of that what platform is it on?
I'm in the UK and it is on Netflix. I believe it's a syfy show. I think there are 4 seasons now but only S1&2 are available on Netflix here.
Ooooh good tip thanks 😊
I like that show but I skip all the parts where Alan Tudyk isn't in the scene, the story arcs without him are like a soap opera.
Recently decided to go back and watch Malcolm in the Middle. I watched it some when it first came out, and I kind of liked it. As a parent, it hits differently, and I like it a lot more.
ETA: as a new show, I really enjoy Hacks.
I'm really into Abbott Elementary atm
AP Bio is a good one that's also set mostly in a school. I tried a few episodes of Abbott Elementary and it didn't reel me in the same way, I need to go back and finish a season to give it a fair shake.
Not heard of that thanks
Ghosts (US). The reason I'm watching the US version and not the original UK version is that I followed Rose McIver there from iZombie. I'd like to check out the UK version but I'm not sure how closely the US version follows it and I don't want spoilers.
Other than that, I think I get most of my comedy from cartoons these days. Like Harley Quinn or Hazbin Hotel or whatever.
The UK version won’t spoil the US version. The two storylines diverge pretty quickly. I saw the UK version first, and like it better.
Ah, thanks for the being the first person ever to let me know after mentioning that I'm unsure how similar the two are, on any platform. Glad to hear it, I'll definitely add the UK to my growing watch list then.
I actually watched the first episode of The Inbetweeners yesterday and I loved it. I saw my teenage self more times than I care to admit in that episode.
I rewatched it the other month, together with peep show. Suddenly i accidentally dowloaded the american version of Inbetweeners and ho-ly shit, that is baaaad
10/10 looking forward to my 3rd rewatch when i forget the gags
Ghosts
PokerFace, Laid, and Krapopolis
C-SPAN
Is there a word for comedy that makes you cry not from laughing?
remember when they tried an action movie block a few years ago?
Malcolm In The Middle - watching it (yet) again from episode 1.
The Other Two is criminally unknown
Even meaning to check that out.
Kill tony if you are counting stand up comedy.
For sitcoms i will always keep rewatching its always sunny in Philadelphia and the office
What We Do In The Shadows.
Our flag means death is also great.
I Think You Should Leave, followed by the forever classic Peep Show. Also Gary and his Demons for an animated show
Carmelo said your face looks like a clock
I Think You Should Leave is the funniest shit I've seen in years and one of the few shows I've ever just put on again immediately after finishing.
The runner up would be Solar Opposites. Can't wait for more of The Wall saga.
Solar opposites really surprised me. I watched it randomly and thought: oh it's just rick and morty. And then i was drawn into the side plot more than i could ever imagine.
I think it got even better after Roiland was canned, as opposed to R&M. Especially since the choice to completely change Corvo's voice and the way they wrote it happening into the show was perfectly in-line with the show and funny as hell.
At this time, I've just been watching other peoples' videos for that.
Rick and Morty, it's dark, it's obnoxious, it's VERY intelligent while VERY lowbrow. There's character arcs and growth. It's hands down the best comedy on TV right now.
