Agree with that
Plus Brooklyn 9-9 and Derry Girls

Black Books is on All4, that's brilliant too

Just adding Big Mouth to the recommendations, absolutely hilarious.

Some great stand up as well. Recommend James acaster. I found him hilarious. Also Bert Kreischer had me in stitches in both his specials.

Another series was Toast of London. Mathew Berry is as funny as they come.

First two seasons of The Trip are on there and are a good laugh, though if the idea of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon eating at nice restaurants while doing Michael Caine impressions doesn't sound good to you then steer clear.

(season 3 & 4 are on sky/NowTV if you like the first two)

Oh yeah, James Acaster's four Netflix ones are brilliant!

Also, Daniel Sloss is amazing, but it is very dark humour

Mickeroo

For stand-up I really enjoyed Mike Birbiglia's two specials that are on there.

El Duda

Stand up..

Check out Ronny Chiang. He is hilarious. The Asian Bill Burr.

Mantis Toboggan

Peep show and always sunny in philadelphia are my go to for a few laughs!

All 6 seasons of Community is returning on April 1st

it's currently on All4 for anyone who can't wait that long.

Also: don't bother with Season 6, it's pretty woeful. That was the season made for Yahoo's Streaming Service (yes, that was a thing for about 12 months). Also also: Season 4 wasn't half as bad as I remembered it upon a rewatch.

Hercule Poirot

Can't talk about Netflix stand up without mentioning Greg Davies Magnificent Beast - one of the best stand up sets I've ever seen

thanks all and keep em coming

If you like stand up, there's loads at https://nextupcomedy.com/

You can try it free for 7 days

I tend to think everything on netflix is pretty awful but there's a thriller called The Drop that's well worth watching, James Gandolfini and Tom Hardy. Gritty, low key, b-movie feel, reminded me of killing them softly. Guy who wrote the books that Gone Baby Gone Baby Gone and Mystic River were based on wrote this.

Gloomtastic!

If you’re a bit older then The Kominsky Method will make you laugh. Michael Douglas at his best.

So much quality material, I still giggle at random times about the ET story 2 weeks later.

Yeah i put kingdom up near the top of my "to watch" list, i cant believe season 1 is out a year and i had no idea it existed until i seen an ad for season 2.

Samurai and zombies, a combo id jump at, looking forward to getting stuck into it

Started this last night, two episodes in and it seems brilliant so far. You'll be disappointed if you are expecting Samurai though :pac:

I'm on the HD sub. Does this mean we get charged at the lower tier, though the lower tiers allow for less users

It's only during certain hours, which makes sense. It could be done on a regional basis too.

I mean this is just when I plan to upgrade to the 4k plan! Hopefully, they'll use some intelligent service to monitor it.

Longing

NETFLIX on Sunday 26th April! YES at last.
