Ted Lasso (2020)

'Ted Lasso' is more than just a comedy; it's a heartwarming phenomenon that transcends genre. This Emmy Award-winning series follows the unlikely journey of Ted Lasso, an American football coach with zero experience in the world of English Premier League soccer. Despite the obvious hurdles, Ted is brought in to manage the struggling AFC Richmond team.

What Ted lacks in tactical knowledge, he more than makes up for with his infectious optimism, unwavering belief in his players, and folksy charm. His signature "biscuits with the boss" meetings may seem unorthodox, but they gradually chip away at the cynicism and negativity plaguing the team. Ted Lasso is a delightful blend of humor, heart, and sportsmanship, offering a much-needed dose of positivity and reminding us that sometimes, a little kindness can go a long way.

Schitt's Creek (2015)

'Schitt's Creek' isn't just a comedy; it's a cultural phenomenon. This multiple Emmy Award winner follows the outrageous Rose family – Johnny, Moira, David, and Alexis – as they trade their luxurious penthouse for a ramshackle motel room in the desolate town of Schitt's Creek (purchased as a joke years prior). Thrust into a world of minimum-wage jobs, small-town gossip, and clashing personalities, the Roses must learn to adapt and rely on each other.

The show's brilliance lies in its ability to find humor in the absurd. From Moira's outlandish fashion choices (think wigs that defy gravity and questionable pronunciation) to David's deadpan wit and Alexis's relentless pursuit of social media fame,

The Afterparty (2022)

'The Afterparty' this unique whodunnit comedy throws a murder mystery party with a twist. Each episode retells the events of the fateful night from a different character's perspective, with a unique visual style and comedic slant.

The Afterparty takes the classic murder mystery genre and injects it with a hilarious dose of originality. Imagine a high school reunion gone wrong, where a seemingly harmless gathering ends with the death of a party guest. But here's the twist: each episode unfolds like a mini film, retelling the events of the fateful night from a different character's perspective.

The result is a captivating blend of laugh-out-loud moments and genuine intrigue. As the story unfolds, viewers piece together the clues, questioning not only who committed the murder but also the reliability of each character's account. The Afterparty is a clever whodunnit that will keep you guessing and giggling all the way to the shocking finale.

Trying (2020)

'Trying' isn't your typical laugh-out-loud sitcom. Instead, it offers a warm and relatable portrayal of Nikki and Jason, a London couple determined to expand their family through adoption. The series skillfully balances humor with the emotional complexities of the adoption process. We see their excitement at attending information sessions and the awkwardness of navigating social worker interviews.

Trying's charm lies in its realistic depiction of the couple's relationship. Nikki's impulsiveness often clashes with Jason's cautious nature, leading to relatable and humorous moments. Yet, their unwavering support for each other shines through, making them a couple you can easily root for. The show also doesn't shy away from the challenges of adoption. The long wait times, the uncertainty of matching with a child, and the emotional toll it takes on hopeful parents are all explored with sensitivity. But ultimately, Trying is a celebration of love, family, and the power of perseverance.

Loot (2022)

'Loot' this recently released series stars Maya Rudolph as a wealthy woman forced to re-evaluate her life after a shocking divorce settlement. Filled with hilarious situations and sharp social commentary, Loot promises an entertaining ride.

Loot injects fresh energy into Apple TV+'s comedy lineup. Maya Rudolph, known for her comedic genius on SNL and Bridesmaids, takes center stage as Molly Novak, a delightfully clueless billionaire. Thrust into a life-altering situation after a hefty divorce settlement, Molly grapples with the meaning of life and the power of philanthropy.
