Need suggestions for comedies-series or film
We have netflix, Prime, HBOMax, Apple and Disney.
We just finished Schitts Creek and need more comedies or just some things on the lighter side.
Thanks in advance..

(3,379 posts)Fleabag is an interesting series. It can tug at the heart in spots.
The apacolypse isn't light-hearted, but Good Omens makes good work of it.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is fun.
I'm not sure what platforms have it available as it still airs on NBC, but Superstore is goofy and an easy watch. It got me through the election.
Can't go wrong with a Schitt's Creek re-watch. I actually saved the 6th season in case Trump was re-elected and I needed something light to get me through.
It's a drama-comedy, but I love The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
If you don't mind some sappy, soap opera stuff, Hart of Dixie is light and easy. I'm in the middle of that series myself.

On the Rocks
2020
On the Rocks is a 2020 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Sofia Coppola. It follows a father and daughter (Bill Murray and Rashida Jones) as they tail her suspicious husband (Marlon Wayans).
I found it very funny, and I enjoyed the photography that captures New York City

(59,513 posts)Crazy People - Dudley Moore is ad exec who realizes he is lying for a living. One of the funniest I've ever seen. (Language)
Meet Dave - really funny, good for families. Eddie Murphy is Dave. Really Funny!
Good Boy - Very funny. Appropriate for all ages. A little dog crash lands his space ship...
Enjoy!

(2,343 posts)I'm glad you like it! Richard Ayoade also has a travel show which is on Amazon Prime and I think you can catch it on Pluto TV called Travel Man. It's also good. He travels to different parts of the world with another celebrity and they spend a couple days exploring the city.

(4,144 posts)We oddly enjoyed Brooklyn 99. And good old Parks and Rec!
Detectorists is something I have NEVER recommended that people haven't thanked me. It is a buried jewel. Starts slow. Just breathe. It has Diana Rigg and her daughter in it. Brilliant.
We binge watched Ted Lasso last weekend and our spirits lifted--never needed it more.
Brooklyn 99, for us, took off when a certain character arrived. No spoilers, but we were glued to the screen after that.
Parks and Rec? I'd say skip Season 1 because life's too short. (Maybe watch a couple so you see who's who, then look up summary on Wikipedia and head for Season 2.)
Have fun!
(I never remember what's where to stream, so I use justwatch.com to look them up.)

The final reveal is wonderful.
