  • Red Dwarf is a about a slacker in space
  • Father Ted is a sitcom about three priests on a remote island in Ireland
  • Black Books is a sitcom revolving around the social misfits in a book store
  • Peep Show is about the life of two people where you can hear the protagonist's thoughts

These are all quite old, so don't expect 16:9 🤩

Green Wing will be right up your alley if you're a fan of all these shows! It's a sitcom/drama set in a hospital but it's not a medical drama. It's entirely character driven, very absurd in its humour, and almost like a sketch show at times with how some of its scenes play out. It's tied with Black Books for my favourite comedy series (and Tamsin Greig stars in both, too).

You’d love Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace too if you like all of the above. Only one season, but demented genius.

For some reason that reminded me of Look Around You. Both seasons were crazy genius spoofs too.

That’s a fantastic show too.

Peep Show has a very successful, long-running sequel called Would I Lie To You?
