I like plenty of those mentioned but possibly showing my age by throwing a few old school comedies into the ring

Porridge
Dad's Army
Open All Hours
Rising Damp
Reginald Perrin

Great choices and I'd add an even earlier one to it in Steptoe and Son.
Does Crossroads qualify as a comedy?
Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered

Bloodline any good?

Enjoyed the 1st season. Halfway through the 2nd season we got bogged down in the grimness of all the characters and bowed out. Might revisit. Have a brother who raves about it.

Finally got around to starting The Office (USA). My god, its some craic but tough going at times! 4 episodes max before a break from Michael Scott!

Huge promise after 1st series, bogged down a bit in middle series, but still interesting. Final series was a huge let down, desperate to be honest.

Lost home videos of Nazi Germany (2 episodes), BBC4 /iplayer. Grim at times but really Fascinating.

GetOverTheBar

Just finished Narcos Mexico at the weekend. Great show.

Yeah I thought the Mexico series was excellent.

I haven't seen it posted anywhere but has anyone caught the All or Nothing for Spurs on Prime (or other means)? Decent watch so far although a bit cliche in terms of team talks etc. Looking forward to the rest of them.

*Spoiler Alert* They don't win anything.

Enjoying the rerun of Shameless on C4 recently.

The first 4 series or so was great. After that it turned into a bit of a farce.
