WATCH IT NOW! That’s my PSA for today. Also watch Veep.

That said, YES to 30 Rock. I recently re-watched it, and though I can't believe it hasn't been canceled due to some of its content, it remains hilarious!

I also think I may re-watch Fleabag. I did recently binged Killing Eve, and was surprised to see Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the head writer.


The show was also telling us so much, including repeatedly calling out bill cosby. (Hannibal Buress is associated with the show too)

How about Peaky Blinders, Deadwood, Ted Lasso, Breaking Bad, Schitt's Creek, Queen's Gambit, The Glory, and Beef just off the top of my head to start.

This is a weird list. I would pick Atlanta because I haven’t seen it and it’s supposed to be very good, unlike a whole bunch of what’s on this list. (Entourage, really?) Have you seen any of these OP? Which ones did you like?


Entourage is amazing.

I’d pick Fleabag if you haven’t seen it, or Arrested development


I just rewatched Entourage after loving it decades ago in college and I was amazed how well it stood the test of time. It’s still hilarious and the slightly satirical insight into the entertainment industry still hits as believable and insightful. Great show.

I see Entourage as a sister show to Silicon Valley. Both are sendups of an industry (in the vein of Veep, Parks and Rec, Succession), both are laugh out loud hilarious, both have artfully developed characters and amazing acting. In another 20 years I look forward to re-watching them yet again and still cracking up!

It is f'ing hilarious and damn, hot priest.

I liked Fisk. It was recommended here. I'd never heard of it before. Have you seen Derry Girls? Also hilarious.

I would highly recommend Derry Girls but it is on Netflix

From that list: Arrested Development. The original seasons were some of the funniest TV of all time.

Also worth your consideration, if you haven't seen these already:

Damages
The Killing
Rome
The Fall

Hart of Dixie - Prime
West Wing - Max
Being Erica - Hulu
Only Murders in the Building - Hulu
The Unit - Hulu
Northern Exposure - Prime (haven’t rewatched it yet, but I remember loving it originally)
MASH - Hulu
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Prime (cancelled subscripton between seasons so never actually saw end, but what I saw was good)
Jane Eyre (2006) - total run time only 4 hours - Hulu
The Carol Burnett Show - Tubi
Sherlock - Hulu


The Unit was fantastic. Definitely underrated.

Weeds is really good. So is Atlanta.

Keep going! Season 2 is better--that's when it gets brilliant.

From the list your choice of Fleabag is a good one. Quirky, funny, weirdly dark. I can also recommend Weeds, but just the first 3 or so seasons.
