Funny and binge worthy
“Call Kenny Loggins… ‘Cause you’re in the Danger Zone!” — Sterling Archer
Life in Pieces
(2015—) A family comedy told through the separate stories of different family members.
Runtime: 1 seasons on Netflix Rated: TV-14
If you love Community or Arrested Development then you will love Life in Pieces. This comedy is smart, funny, and fast-paced. There is a good chance you’ll binge watch all 22 episodes.
Easy
(2016 —) A group of friends in Chicago fumble through the modern maze of love, sex, technology, and culture.
Runtime: 1 seasons Rated: MA
Easy is fantastic, it’s real, funny, sexy and tense. I think this is a great representation of what sexual desires and awkward missteps are like in the world today. Each episode is a separate look into the sexual exploits of interesting characters written with elegance, grace and dark, witty humour.
Arrested Development
(2003-) Level-headed son Michael Bluth takes over family affairs after his father is imprisoned. But the rest of his spoiled, dysfunctional family are making his job unbearable.
Runtime: 4 seasons Rated: PG
This show has a sense of humour all of its own. Arrested Development is dark humoured, witty, slap-sticky, politically incorrect and always smart and funny. I fell in love with all the main characters, the supporting ones and even the characters that show up every once in a while. The show stopped after 3 seasons but came back 7 years later by popular demand and was produced by Netflix. Don’t miss this one if you’re looking for some good laughs.
Archer
(2009-) Covert black ops and espionage take a back seat to zany personalities and relationships between secret agents and drones.
Runtime: 7 seasons Rated: TV-MA
The man, the myth, the legend Sterling Archer is the ultimate spy. Archer even out-Bond’s James Bond himself. Archer is ridiculously funny. Suffice it to say, keep the kids away the humour in this is not for the faint-hearted because it’s dark and filthy. If you like Southpark and Famly Guy then you will love Archer.
Firefly
(2002) Five hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them.
Runtime: 1 season Rated: TV 14
Firefly is a favorite of mine because Smartly written and shook up the conventions of mainstream sci-fi. I also thought that Firefly also brought a new sensibility to the genre moving away from the tech and the aliens, and toward the exploration of humanity. The action and banter between the characters is why I kept coming back. The fans wanted it back so bad they made a movie and you can find it here.
Community
(2009-2015) A suspended lawyer is forced to enroll in a community college with an eclectic staff and student body.
Runtime: 4 seasons Rated: PG
Community is hilarious, original and just straight up fun. All the characters are lovable in their own quirky way…Well, maybe not Pierce. This shows style and humour are faced paced making it easy to plow through a bunch of episode in one sitting. Community and its stellar cast are silly, racy, smart, high-browed, deadpanned, satirical, juvenile….etc, etc, etc….just watch it already…..jeez.”
