Finished Kath and Kim which was the perfect level of light comedy. I need something funny and easy. I keep finding things which take too long to get into. Ideally not about kids or motherhood as the main theme (need some distraction from ivf).

Not Schitts Creek either as I love that to death and I cry too much when it’s over 😆

Ideally Netflix or BBC

Another vote for Kim's Convenience. Also:
Extraordinary Attorney Woo
The Good Place
Modern Family

All on Netflix

Loved that

BBC4 have been showing re-runs of Nighty Night so should be on the Iplayer. To be fair it's more dark than light comedy, but it's just brilliant.

Detectorists, Witless or Ghosts on BBC iplayer

The Wrong Mans also on iPlayer if you can stomach James Corden.

I loved Virgin River on Netflix was quite upset when I finished watching it all.

If you want something funny, calming with great characters then Detectorists.

Death in Paradise. There are loads of series you can drop in and out of. It's comforting.

There's a new one too, with Kris Marshall, something like After Paradise?

NashvilleQueen · 18/04/2023 22:07

Early Doors - iplayer
Back - channel 4

Chestnut12 · 18/04/2023 22:07

Seconding Witless on iplayer! I don’t see it recommended much but I thought it was really good. Also Stath Lets Flats on channel 4. Very silly but loved it
