TV Series - What Are You Watching?

God’s Favourite Idiot. Melissa McCarthy being Melissa McCarthy. Written by her husband. 2 episodes in and 2 genuinely funny bits in each episode. Promising.
That's a pretty low bar you've set. :LOL: Is it too much to expect decent jokes throughout? We watched the trailer and didn't even laugh at that, and I thought the trailer was supposed to show the highlights.

Seen two episodes, not really laughed at it at all, but kind of want to see where it goes. Took way too long from being struck to getting the visit.

Not a low bar at all. I can’t think of any comedy show where I’ve laughed throughout. The premise is daft and not my usual cup of tea but the interactions between Melissa McCarthy and her co-worker made it worthwhile. I’ll continue to watch.

I'm not having a go, just surprised if you've really never watched a program that got more than one or two laughs from you in an episode! Maybe you've been watching all the wrong comedies. ?

Ha, I get where you’re coming from. However, I genuinely can’t think of any comedy that I’ve laughed along with regularly. Even the ones I’ve loved. Parks and Recreation is up there in my list of favourites. I don’t recall it being laugh a minute though. Maybe one or two laugh out loud moments per episode. The exception being the Lil Sebastian episode. TV gold.

Parks and Recreation is very funny. My kids say it is a bit like The Office, except less cringy.
 
Watched ep2 of the new season of Stranger Things last night. A slight improvement on ep1, but still hard going.
Ep1 of the new season of Umbrella Academy was very good though.
