    Default Please recommend a FUNNY show on Netflix for me to watch...

    Can you please recommend a funny show on Netflix for me to watch? Nothing sad or depressing.

    My 13 yr. old son and I are watching The Office together. I'm watching Grace & Frankie but I don't think it's as funny
    as people have been telling me.


    Thank you!!


    Edited to Add: This show would be for only ME to watch. I'm home by myself a lot more now in the evenings and
    I wanted something funny to start watching.

    I think if it as more clever than funny. Like if you're looking for laugh out loud, I'd go with Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt or Parks and Rec.

    Netflix also has the Office UK version which is great. Or go old school and watch Fawlty Towers.

    My son and I tried the UK version but he didn't like it. I'm sure it's great! I love Ricky Gervais.

    I don’t have any to add, but thanks to the OP for asking and everyone else for the suggestions! I turn on Netflix looking for something for the kids and I to watch and more often than not, can’t find anything.

    Schitt's Creek. Eugene Levy and Catharine O'Hara. A uber wealthy family loses everything to a crooked accountant and has to move to a tiny town they bought as a joke years ago. The first four episodes Chris Elliot's character is over the top and annoying but he gets toned down quickly. Really funny but probably not safe for the kiddos.

    I was just coming into this post to recommend this. SO FUNNY. And I would say it is as "kid appropriate" as The Office.
