hurrah for comedies!

[deird1]

This year, I have discovered:
- Brooklyn Nine Nine
- The Orville
- The Good Place

I think the last time I got into a comedy show was Frasier, so it's been a while.

They're all so fun! And so well written!

We need to check out The Orville. I've heard vague but encouraging things about it.

I'm really enjoying it! It starts off a bit more silly/crass than I'd like, but quickly morphs into a fun episodic show that reminds me a good deal of Stargate (and obviously Star Trek).

Seconded: I'd avoided it based on trailers (I hate the "they're divorced and they squabble" trope in particular) but a colleague convinced me it picks up after the first couple of episodes and he was right.

I don't know if you can get Wellington Paranormal where you are but it's very good. And very Kiwi.

I believe I can get Wellington Paranormal on SBS (the other publicly funded tv channel), so hurrah!

Two of those are really good (I haven't seen Orville yet).

If you want more Star Trek Next-Gen, or Stargate SG1, then it's excellent. A very episodic show that still keeps track of its plotlines, and just enjoys itself. The creators clearly love classic Trek.

We just started watching Superstore, which is apparently up to 5 seasons (yay for longer term watching.) If you've ever worked retail it's very funny (while I simultaneously hide under a cushion at times because I'm embarrassed.)

I don't really think of myself as a comedy fan at all, but we are blessed with some really good ones right now!
