What am I going to watch now?! They feel like the only brilliantly funny programmes with awesome female lead characters and are not about crime or fantasy worlds.

I started a love in thread for these two before and was recommended The Good Place which was a very good call. Anything else? I hope the network replace them with something similarly different.

Waaaah! Crazy ex girlfriend is the best thing ever!

colditz · 04/04/2018 18:15

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is golden

theaveragewife · 04/04/2018 18:18

Kimmy Schmidt sounds like it definitely fits the bill! Parks & Recreation too.

But if you haven’t watched VEEP, then find it and watch it!!!!

MummaGiles · 04/04/2018 18:20

Oh no! Ending as in they have ended and no more series?

IStillMissBlockbuster · 04/04/2018 18:25

Rachel Bloom says that season 4 of Crazy Ex Girlfriend will be the last and the article says that Jane the Virgin is likely to end after season 5. So one more season each. Sad

I got bored of Kimmy part way through season 2 Sad.

I've not seen Veep before so thanks for the recommendation. It's not on netflix and bloody Sky want me to pay £80 for the privilege of accessing all seasons. I'll keep an eye out for it though.

Oh wow £80!?!? Yes definitely look out for re-runs.

I have to admit I felt the same Blockbuster but the first series and a few of the second (lemonade) I thought we’re brilliant.

Worst news 😭😭 Crazy ex girlfriend is genius.
Maybe try the bitch in apartment 23?

IStillMissBlockbuster · 04/04/2018 18:42

Gemini - That is another brilliant programme! Anyone on here who hasn't seen it should go and do that right ow!

You me her is good though not as laugh out loud as crazy ex

StaplesCorner · 04/04/2018 18:56

dear god how have I never seen this in my life? Who's responsible? So can you not get it with ordinary Virgin/sky packages? How can my eyes view this?

GeminiWarrior · 04/04/2018 19:03

Santa Clarita diary? Kind of fantasy and kind of crime but in no way serious, and similar sort of humour to the ones you like. It’s literally ‘laugh out loud’ hysterical

dingdongdigeridoo · 04/04/2018 19:05

The last season of Crazy Ex Girlfriend was disappointing though. I think it’s gone as far as it can with the story, so one more season is enough to wrap it up.

I only got through about half a season of Jane the Virgin. Does it get better? I found it a little odd and couldn’t work out how they’d get so many series out of the premise.

Yes to Kimmy Schmidt and Apartment 23. Unfortunately, the latter only has two seasons which is a shame as it’s one of my favourite sitcoms.

Riversleep · 04/04/2018 19:11

Santa Clarita Diet is hilarious! Definitely worth a watch.

theaveragewife · 04/04/2018 19:32

It is so gory though, don’t watch if you’re eating!!

Pinkprincess1978 · 04/04/2018 19:38

Jane the virgin has got a 5th series hasn't it? I'm sure I read that on their Facebook page last week!

I've not watched my crazy ex girlfriend so if you all like it I might give it a go 😀

IStillMissBlockbuster · 04/04/2018 20:00

Yes, the 5th series of Jane the virgin will 'likely' be it's last.

dingdong I think it is ridiculous and hilarious. I think i recall that it took a bit of getting into but if that humour isn't your thing maybe not.

Thanks for the Apartment 23 recently, I wasn't sure if it would be good or terrible. I'm completely over Kimmy - two seasons was plenty. Agree with the posts above, Veep is amazing although I found it's become more hard since Armando Iannucci (sp?) left. Jane the Virgin is well with the time to get into it. I love the relationship between Jane, her mom and her grandmother.

IStillMissBlockbuster · 04/04/2018 20:19

Agreed Grainne. And I love #Brogelio

How do you all watch VEEP?

I’m still in series 1 of Jane and read this -

‘Yes, the 5th series of Jane the virgin will 'likely' be it's last.’ In the voice of Rogelio both times I read it!

dingdongdigeridoo · 04/04/2018 23:00

If you want something really off the wall with a female lead, try Lady Dynamite. It’s a real love it or hate it show, but I enjoyed seeing a female comic trying more surreal comedy. Maria Bamford who wrote and starred in the show is bipolar, and a lot of the story revolves around that. It’s just too weird to really describe!
