WOuld appreciate any suggestions

The Other One (Netflix)
Black Ops (BBC)

Maybe Smoggie Queens on BBC which I loved but might be an acquired taste!

This country is probably one of the funniest things I've seen.

Quite liked Mr Big Stuff. Not laugh out loud funny but I liked the characters.

Derry girls

‘Trying’ is brilliant and I feel never gets mentioned. Time to catch up before the recently announced 5th series!

alma’s not normal (you’ll deffo enjoy this if you like Mandy)
also second the nomination for US The Office - push through the first series but after that it’s pure comedy genius, I rewatch all the time

shuffleofftobuffalo · 09/08/2025 22:16

Ooh forgot This Country - one of the best series ever ever ever, cannot recommend enough. Another one I rewatch regularly!

Dolamroth · 09/08/2025 22:22

Mandy, What We Do in the Shadows (the series not the movie), Detectorists, Ghosts. All on iplayer.

jhmlwos · 09/08/2025 22:22

Derry girls for sure. Off to check out here we go. I’ve enjoyed same as you, adding in friends.

Great suggestions here. This Country is just bloody brilliant. The Other One on iPlayer is very good.

I also love Crashing but it's not always available to stream.

WingBingo · 09/08/2025 22:30

@KittenyChops Here We Go doesn’t feel like it’s filmed on a hand held camera. In fact, you forgot that’s the case most of the time.

Myfansbroken · 09/08/2025 22:46

The Windsors is on Netflix at the moment.

Ladhood.
Am I Being Unreasonable.
Catastrophe.

All bloody brilliant.

notatinydancer · 09/08/2025 22:57

This Country
Meet the Crockfords.

TheGrimSmile · 09/08/2025 22:57

"Am I Being Unreasonable" is one of the best, if not the best series, I've ever seen. Can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet.

notatinydancer · 09/08/2025 22:57

The Other One.

Yes, this is brilliant. Funny as hell and also pretty dark.
Rain Dogs?
Old school now but The I.T. Crowd, Spaced, Father Ted.
The Work Outing episode of IT Crowd is possibly one of the funniest things I've watched in my life 😁

Needhelp101 · 09/08/2025 23:03

Oh Lord, and I have only just now clocked the double meaning in the title ' The Work Outing '.

Shock Same! How have I missed that!

I see Stath Lets Flats has already been mentioned so I will add Everyone Else Burns to the list. First series funny, second series really really funny.
