Looking for something to Binge-Watch? Check these options out!
With the current situation in the country, we all have gotten into binge watching and we could all use a few good suggestions for it. Now I am more of a comedy genre person therefore here is a list of comedy sitcoms that you can binge watch in your free time.
Brooklyn Nine Nine
Unlike the first two on this list, Adam Sandler’s show about the workings within a police station was a bonafide hit from the very first episode and remains beloved 7 seasons later. There is so much to like here — Every character has a unique personality that is now iconic, the team dynamics are effortless and you are rarely bound by continuity issues so you can just drop in on any random episode at any point of the team and still have a good laugh understanding what’s going on. Its natural portrayal and support of LGBTQ+ is also a win (and a rarity in television sitcoms) Heck, even the theme song is awesome!!
Schitts Creek
If Brooklyn Nine Nine is the show that everyone has heard of, then Schitts Creek is the one no one knows (and that is sad.) This charming take on a former billionaire family who lost their money and now have only a small town they bought as a joke decades ago as their asset is the equivalent of a warm hug. Again, it takes you a whole season for the characters to get into their groove but after that, it is just absolute happiness. The show oozes kindness, love and absolute silliness as you enjoy the Canadian equivalent of the Kardashians living in a rustic setting and successfully adjusting to their new circumstances. Major points here for also having the lead character be LGBT, an absolute rarity (he said, in a list that featured Brooklyn Nine Nine, Will & Grace and Modern Family.)
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Do you like your comedy dark? I have just the thing for you with this long-running, extremely underrated show about 5 absolutely self-centered individuals running a pub who are always plotting against one another and frankly, everyone around them. Give it a shot… you’ll love it.
Two and a Half Men
The show about a rich casanova jingle writer (played to a T by Charlie Sheen reprising his real life persona in many ways) whose freedom gets curtailed when his brother and nephew arrive at his doorstep to stay ‘for a little while’ is pure joy. Or rather, impure, constantly naughty joy.
The Big Bang Theory
Four socially awkward but highly intelligent friends slowly begin to open up when a new waitress moves across the apartment from them. The ultimate show for fans of science, comic books and TV shows.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
This list cannot be completed without the mention of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. If you know it, you know it. The show chronicling the lives of 6 friends based in Manhattan has attained cult status by now and extremely good repeat viewing value.
