Fisk on Netflix, an Australian comedy. Great characters and had me in stitches.

I enjoyed Witless on iPlayer.

carkerpartridge · 05/08/2023 22:10

Five Rooms, on iplayer I think, is another Australian series. It's about a house share, some romance, easy to watch.

We’ve just watched Jury Duty on Prime

Ah bugger! I came on to recommend Colin from Accounts which I've just finished! It reminded me a bit of Catastrophe so if you've not seen that it's worth a watch as others have said.
I also watched Deadloch recently. It's a black comedy so maybe not exactly light but the characters are excellent and it made me laugh out loud several times.

Toast was funny, pretty much the same character from the it crowd.

Daysafter · 08/08/2023 22:31

Fisk on Netflix, haven't laughed out loud for ages. Really recommend.
