TIA

I hadn’t heard of bump before so just looked it up and put it in here! I liked Gameface recently. I assume you have done motherland. Also like two doors down but you maybe need to be Scottish for that one.

Ghosts - the BBC version ( on iPlayer). There’s also an American version, but I haven’t watched that so don’t know if it’s as good.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 04/08/2023 21:59

Thank you, I’ve seen Motherland and Ghosts and love them! I’ll have a look at Gameface.

Detectorists is brilliant and back on Netflix
Other obvious ones are The Good Place, Schitts Creek, Space Force...

Twoshoesnewshoes · 04/08/2023 22:04

Oh yeah Schitts Creek, thanks. Haven’t heard of Space Force so I’ll look that up too.
I liked Outlaws too.

We're watching Detectorists. I love it. Gentle, funny and quintessentially British.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 04/08/2023 23:04

Ghosts US
Similar characters and stories, but after the first 2 or 3 episodes, the stories change. The US version stands up well on its own.

Car Share is similar, I that it is principally about the relationship between 2 friends. It's not quite as subtle and nuanced at Detectorists, but still very good.

The Power of Parker - just binged it. Check out the thread. Very funny! On iPlayer. Great 90s tunes too!

I've been watching Not Going Out recently. I've been having a bit of a shit time and it's oddly soothing, and if you give it proper attention it can be really funny.

Sherrystrull · 04/08/2023 23:18

Thanks for the recommendation

If you like Motherland, have you tried Cstastrophe? It was on channel 4, should be on catch up. Staged on BBC iplayer is also very funny- David Tennant and Michael Sheen playing versions of themselves.

My go to when I want funny escapism is Modern Family or Superstore (Netflix I think) they are both great and there’s loads of episodes!

Coffeedrinker7 · 04/08/2023 23:26

Oh, and Derry Girls, also channel 4

CrapBucket · 04/08/2023 23:27

Community is a nice funny series as well, bit like Superstore - short episodes and plenty of likeable characters__. Oh and Brooklyn 99.
