Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we’ve watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way … the world is on fire, I’d like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.

    If you like those shows, check out Norsemen on Netflix. It’s like vikings but very silly. Very tongue in cheek.

        Awesome! I hope you like it, and with the shows you mentioned, I have a good feeling you will.

      Also, if you like that, then check out wellington paranormal. It’s a hilariously dry show about some new Zealand cops dealing with crazy paranormal shit. The balance between the dry wit and the ridiculousness of the situations is unmatched. It’s like Reno 911 meets the x-files.
