Recently I binge watched Abbot Elementary, and I couldn’t get enough of it, watched the British version of ghosts and it was quite good too.

I have tried “what we do in the shadows” and it wasn’t to my liking.

What are your suggestions about a light comedy series of the same genre ?

I recommend What we do in the shadows

This time they should enjoy it though.

Didn’t they kill comedy completely a couple years ago?

I’m very critical of comedy, so it’s rare to find a show I like, but some of my favorites are:

Flight of the Conchords

The mighty boosh

Parks and rec

Taskmaster

Arrested development

Seinfeld

Louis

Louis

If you’re referring to Louis CK’s show, it’s called Louie. OP would probably have better luck finding it that way.

Arrested development is pure comedic genius. Everytime I watch it I discover new jokes.

Superstore really caught me off guard. Wasn’t expecting much but it was hilarious. I wish Blockbuster followed it’s quality.

Modern ones would probably be:

Shrinking

Only Murders In The Building

Jury Duty

Ted Lasso - completed

The Good Place - completed

Ted Lasso, season 1, is spectacular. Season 2 wasn’t bad, either, but I felt they were stretching it a bit.

Anyway, one of the best comedy series in the past decade.

Jury duty was a pleasant surprise, hope they come out with some new seasons
