Looking for some good comedies. I looked at the top shows on Brit Box (streaming channel in the US), and most of them are police procedurals! I think the first comedy is Gavin & Stacy, which I haven’t seen but isn’t there something newer? My wife and I have enjoyed Coupling and Inbetweeners. Any suggestions?

    One that I haven’t seen mentioned is Meet the Richardsons. At least the first two or three seasons were pretty funny, haven’t seen the newer ones yet.

    I would also strongly recommend Detectorists, although it’s not usually laugh-out-loud funny it’s just such a pleasant and enjoyable watch.

    Although I absolutely love Inside No. 9, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it as a comedy aside from a handful of episodes, as it can be quite heavy and dark.

    Also 15 Storeys High with a young Sean Lock and Benedict Wong is a good one that’s not as well known. It’s quite dry and sparse at times but also intermittently hilarious.
