Fleabag. Absolute genius.

Is that the one with Rik Mayall's 'son'?

Just watched the whole of the Prime Suspect series. I don't think there's ever been a better "cop show".
Helen Mirren was absolutely superb as Jane Tennison; warts and all.

Was looking it up last week and thinking about giving it a go.

Go through it all. The secund season isn't quite as dark but is more laugh out loud funny.

It's the best British comedy in a long, long time.

Will try it again gallsman.

Hasnt been many laugh out loud moments so far - more cringe or 'oh f**k me' moments (like flicking the bean to Obama

)

I'm probably late to this show, but I've been really enjoying 'Porters' on Dave.

The girl in the coma episode was hilarious.

Ricky Gervais 'Afterlife'. Like him or loathe him please give it a try. One the funniest / most depressing things Ive watched in a while.

Enjoying Murphy's Law with James Nesbitt...from 2001.

Line of Duty next.

After Life is curious, just how would a nasty narcissist troll, experience grief? exactly as you might imagine a self obsessed fat slob would, they'd make it all about themselves, all of the time. By contrast there is in the background, a story of a real deep despair as experienced by homeless man called Tim.

Just after finishing Prime Suspect. Started off well but got worse as it went on.

Is it meant to be a comedy? I watched the first 2 episodes and didn't laugh once. I loved the office so I do get gervais' humour but unless it starts to get funny in the next few episodes I'm just not getting it.
