The American Office. So I know you said British Comedy, that’s my preference too, and if you like the British version you have to push through the first episodes that just feel wrong, but then the characters, the writing and the comedy is brilliant.

Indeed it is. I watched it every night throughout lockdown.

Although I’ve just read how they film Here we go! I absolutely can’t watch anything filmed via a handheld camera! I was horribly sick back in the day watching the Blair witch project 🤣

It’s not wobbly like BWP.
I hadn’t realised it was a hand held camera! It has ‘home movie’ type angles but not the sway.

Ooh and Fisk is great

Mydadsbirthday · 10/08/2025 13:12

Just came on to say Fisk!

Looking forward to going through this thread later and adding to my list as Motherland is the gold standard for me.

PP have said Gavin and Stacy, I don't think it compares at all but I do like it.

Cuckoo

Forgot about Cuckoo. That's really good.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 11/08/2025 20:25

Cuckoo is fab! I forgot that too

Chocolatecoveredshitpig · 11/08/2025 20:48

I know you said not American, but Schitts Creek is actually Canadian, so I’m going to suggest that. It’s so so good.

@Judiezones I like Julia Davis so I’ll check out Camping - not heard of it. I really liked Nighty Night

Edited

Camping is absolutely mental.
Sally4ever is another mad one from Julia Davis

Everything0Everywhere · 11/08/2025 22:40

Alma's Not Normal is bloody brilliant!
Mr Bigstuff also fun
Fleabag (oldie but a goodie)
