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 ?

As someone on the spectrum that lives by his binges of situational comedy shows, allow me to give you my list I rotate through, in no specific order:

• How I Met Your Mother

• Scrubs

• Parks and Recreation

• Brooklyn 99

• 30 Rock

• Community

• New Girl

• The Office

• The Good Place

Some of these I will watch for months before moving on to another. If you have questions about any in particular, feel free to ask.

The Good Place is the best thing humanity has done.

It's a different feel, but not completely, from HIMYM, but How I Met Your Father isn't bad either, and Hillary Duff is really enjoyable in that role.

I don’t know how many executives Michael Schur had to hogtie, to not only get this show made and bring it to a conclusion, but he will forever have my gratitude.

It's wild how many things other shows would make a whole season out of that they burned in half an episode.

[-] runjun@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Exactly! Not only that but I often will go out of my way to not guess where a show is going because I’ll get disappointed when they end where they began or just play to a trope. But The Good Place constantly elevated the story by going where it should and not what people are used to.

If you haven't listened, The Good Place: The Podcast is a good listen for fans as well. (to anyone else, there are spoilers. I don't remember the exact details of what/when, but I'd just watch the whole show before listening.)

... tbh, I was surprised when I found out that Blake Bortles is real.

Also: yay, taking moral philosophy halfway seriously!
