I'm Sorry (Netflix), The Mick (Netflix), Curb Your Enthusiasm (Max), Better Things (Hulu--equally tear-jerking), AP Bio (Peacock), It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX/Hulu — earlier seasons), The Office (Peacock — only the first 4-5 seasons are worth watching).

A few old school: House, Justified, The Bridge ( Danish/Swedish original only please)

Have just finished 'Slow Horses' on apple+ which was immense ... ( although I'm not sure how it translates outside of the UK )

Hello! Awesome List! Yes, me too, a decade or so before you, but grew up on the BEST of Comedy. I must ADD French and Saunders British Comedy Team...HILARIOUS! Add Joanna Lumley in the mix, a blast! Carol Burnett, Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles!!!!!! Lily Tomlin, Melissa McCarthy and more.

By the time I’ve watched all of these twice I’ll be closing in on my grave but I appreciate this list. I second Better Things. I love seeing anything by Michaela Coel !

Love this post! Came here to say that Chewing Gum is still one of my fav comedies to this day, I cried when I found out it was cancelled, but not as hard as I cried when I found out Derry Girls was ending too. 2 Broke Girls reruns are now my current go-to, hahahah
