Super dark British sitcom. I only saw the first episodes and my stomach hurt from laughing.


Ah, ok. Actually, I think I was recommended this by a British expat. Well, it was something starring Olivia Colman anyway. I think it was this. Will check it out when I can.

Do you guys have not very demanding jobs or little social life activities? Because, by God, I wish I could follow even half as many series as you do. I simply can't for the lack of time. And I am already down to about 4-5 hours of sleep a night during the week to even accomodate work, social life, private moviegoing and the few TV series I still do follow (never more than 4-5 at once).
Well you see like 200+ movies per year right? Imagine whittling that down to 50-75 and you suddenly have a lot more time for other media.

Not entirely. Seeing movies is part of my job, so I see the vast majority of those 200+ films (about 70-80% during work hours (10 am or noon). Therefore, I am pretty sure that I actually watch fewer films in my spare time than the guys above here.

Well that makes even more sense then. Media is your work, and nobody wants to do anything resembling their work while relaxing at home.

As a late addition, I'd add TBS's wonderful, surprising dark comedy "Search Party" to my list. I just recently binged the first season and it is a wild ride filled with fantastic performances. It would definitely be in my top 15 at least, maybe top ten.
