My order would be...

Posted by: skamanfu on Oct 13, 09:19 in response to lobogotti's post this is wonderful input skamanfu. some thoughts and...

You're the Worst (the characters are deplorable, but once it starts digging into the reasons why, it takes a dark turn, while still being hilarious. Really found its stride in season 2)

Catastrophe (if you want a shorter run to see if you like it, put it above You're the Worst -- 12 eps vs 30 as I'd put these as a tie for #1)

Halt and Catch Fire (though more drama than comedy -- but has some great laughs in it)

Baskets (Zach G as a clown trained in Paris, now working as rodeo clown in Bakersfield -- and Martha Kelly is a delight. Glad to see her finally getting work after her years and years on the alt comedy scene).

Master of None (some episodes are far better than others, but overall as a show I dig it and it made my top shows of 2015 list). 

Transparent (only so low because it won't be everyone's cup of tea... personally I'd put it higher as I binged season 3 within 2 days)

The Good Place (only so low as I don't know how the season will end -- currently only 5 eps deep until tonight)

Fleabag (only so low as I've already had two people hate me for giving this a recommend)

High Maitenance (only at the bottom because episodes are so hit or miss -- even if Grandpa might be one of the best 30 minutes of TV this year -- running neck and neck with this week's episode of Atlanta).

so here are a few shows I'm watching lately to fill my VP and Broad City (comedy) void... lobogotti Oct 12, 06:52

Some thoughts from me... skamanfu Oct 12, 16:26

good place is delightful (but i havent been watching it intently enough to guess a scenario) {nm} islander Oct 12, 16:37

Spoilers (through episode 4 when I posted this on FB) and my thoughts of where it might go inside skamanfu Oct 13, 09:22

should have told you that I'm a Halt & Catch Fire viewer... love it. watched the 1st season of Baskets, is the 2nd back on in Feb? lobogotti Oct 13, 12:08

I'm caught up on Atlanta, Ep 7, I was crying I was laughing so hard. {nm} lobogotti Oct 14, 05:26

Check out Documentary Now! {nm} avandelay Oct 13, 11:40

that good huh? I watch IFC a lot, but always overlook that one. I'll watch a couple episodes. {nm} lobogotti Oct 13, 12:06

If you watch a lot of documentaries then I think you'll like it. But some of the episodes are funnier if you've seen the doc it is spoofing {nm} avandelay Oct 13, 12:18

huge documentary buff. watch a few a week. {nm} lobogotti Oct 13, 12:32

If you've seen the original docs, this show is one of the funniest on tv. The first episode spoofing Grey Gardens was sublime. {nm} Willroast Oct 13, 19:23

Have you found time to check out Westworld yet Lobo? 2 eps in and it is amazeballs. {nm} Willroast Oct 13, 19:25

I want to watch it with the wife, so I have had to bide my time this week. Saturday night, or lobogotti Oct 14, 05:25

Grey Gardens, oh my word what a lovely doc! {nm} lobogotti Oct 14, 05:24
