There is a police precinct brimming with eccentric detectives, an afterlife filled with ethical puzzles, and a bustling store where nothing ever goes as planned. Elsewhere, a group of schoolgirls navigates life amid political tension, while an indomitable woman embraces the big city after a bizarre ordeal. What will you be picking?

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

In a bustling precinct, a team of detectives led by the ever-childish Jake Peralta finds humor in the most unlikely places. Their investigations are often derailed by absurd antics, while their deadpan captain keeps things (sort of) on track.

The show’s rapid-fire jokes and genuine camaraderie make it a favorite for fans of workplace comedies. With a perfect mix of heart and hilarity, it is a celebration of friendship and the ridiculousness of bureaucracy, all wrapped up in police work.

BoJack Horseman

An animated number that delves into the life of BoJack, a washed-up but once-famous horse struggling with fame, self-worth, and addiction in Hollywood. With a mix of biting satire and deep emotional resonance, the show explores mental health, relationships, and the quest for meaning. Despite its animal cast, BoJack Horseman delivers sharp, existential humor and poignant moments that resonate with adults seeking comedy with depth and a touch of melancholy. Definitely on the must watch list if you prefer satirical, adult reprises. 

Derry Girls

The swishing 1990s but against a backdrop not much publicized, Northern Ireland. The coming-of-age show follows a group of Catholic schoolgirls as they navigate adolescence amid political unrest. Armed with fast-paced, dark humor, thick Irish accents all collide to create a unique atmosphere, blending nostalgia with wit. A hilarious look at friendship and growing up in turbulent times, perfect for fans of character-driven stories and sharp, situational comedy.
