My DH works in the evenings and I'm trying to get out of the habit of scrolling through my phone to pass the time!

Can anyone recommend any funny series I can get stuck into?

Some stuff I've watched in the past and loved:

English Teacher (binged this last week and it's great)
Motherland (was very late to the party but also watched this recently! Would love to watch some more UK stuff)
What We Do In The Shadows
Stath Lets Flats
People Just Do Nothing
Schitts Creek
The Office US
Parks & Rec
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Curb Your Enthusiasm

I haven't watched much tv over the past couple of years so think I might have missed some good series. Any recs welcome!

Still Game BBC iplayer. First prog, not great but rest I found hilarious.
Dinner Ladies iplayer. A bit dated, but still funny.

Alma’s not normal.

Father Ted (a good few years old obviously, but holds firm). Seeing Bishop Brennan being kicked up the arse is timeless.

Wow loads of replies already thank you!

Me and dd watched Friday night dinner recently and she loved it (and me for the second time around!).

I've seen Community and Superstore. LOVED Derry Girls recently too.

I've not seen Gavin and Stacey - is it worth watching it all?
