The UK version of Ghosts (also a comedy) is pretty good too.


OP here, finished watching this, it was fun. Thanks!

Comedies/dramedies
Nothing Trivial
Lovesick
Imposters
Offspring
The Heart Guy
Step Dave
Packed to the Rafters
800 Words
Under the Vines
Catastrophe
Last Tango in Halifax

Mysteries (some with a comedic bent)
Broadchurch

Annika
River
The Missing
Baptiste
Wallander
Luther
Brokenwood Mysteries
Agatha Raisin


Agree with rec for Drake (Australian debauched lawyer who is darkly funny)

Wellmania (Aussie comedian Celeste) about narcissistic food blogger based in NY is fun dramedy …


I think you mean Rake?

The best one is Flight of the Conchords. Two new zealenders (you probably recognize Jeanine Clement) as two broke musicians live in NYC. You may recognize Murray, their agent, as well. It was an HBO show.

Are you me, OP? I've watched all of these on your list and loved them. I agree with PP on Endeavor (excellent) and DCUMs got me to stick with Fleabag and I went from eh to enjoying it. Some others, Flight of the Conchords (NZ) is very out there humor-wise but funny in a monty python way. One of the actors from that is in What we do in the shadows (a mockumentary about vampires--droll, deadpan humor). Collateral was a good police procedural & I just watched the first season of The Bay another police procedural that was pretty good.
