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!

So many good ones already been mentioned.

Would add Veep, Hacks, Only murders in the building, Reboot, Episodes

Amazing recommendations thank you!!

Can confirm I am a die hard Peep Show fan. I might even rewatch for the hundredth time...

Frasier is the best suggestion on here.

Shrinking is brilliant on Apple TV. Ted Lasso didn’t do it at all for me, I couldn’t finish it - boring.

The Inbetweeners - it is painful funny especially if you are a parent to a teen.

If you like Peep Show definitely try Fresh Meat. It was created by some of the same people and Robert Webb is also in it.

I'm also seconding Kath and Kim. Such a classic gem and there's nothing else quite like it.

I've watched Workin Moms many times now - I love it! Netflix.

RumNotRun · 11/01/2025 00:43

If you like What We Do In the Shadows, try Our Flag Means Death. There's a long running thread (or threads) on here for fans. You may find the first few episodes don't grab you but keep watching. The relationship between Ste and Ed is beautiful (plus Taika Waititi is ridiculously attractive as Ed Teach!)

Modern Family
Superstore
Abbott Elementary
Shrinking
Ted Lasso
Parks and Rec
The Office (US)
Schitts creek - the above three took a while to get going but worth it
Hacks

UkuleleRose · 11/01/2025 00:53

Mike and Molly
Corner Gas
Mom

madamepresident · 11/01/2025 00:53

Big bang Theory
Friends
Frasier
Everybody loves Raymond

I will tell you one show I don't recommend... Motherland. I think it shows everything that is wrong with motherhood in the 21st century and we've lost the traditional values of motherhood. Women are the glue of the family and it does not show that! Instead it diminishes us mothers and makes us look like we don't have control over our god given duty. We're represented as irrelevant in this society where without us, it wouldn't stand!

Fisk, I'll say again, Fisk, it's genius, as is Colin from Accounts
