You should check out Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Good Place for Comedy. Both are Michael Schur creations - his other works include being SNL writer, writer/actor on The Office, creator of Parks and Rec, and co-wrote the episode of Black Mirror with Rashida Jones.

Westworld for Drama/Sci Fi, might be a like more than a love for you, but still well worth the time. It's in the middle of it's second season on HBO right now.

You have a lot of the same things as me I think I would recommend daredevil/punisher and Altered Carbon on Netflix. I would say the Expanse as well but I haven't started the 3rd season and apparently syfy sucks and the show is cancelled/on hiatus for now.

The Good Place is a great TV show you might like. I just finish Bosch on Amazon prime and it was really good too.

Thanks all. Brooklyn 9-9 and Barry are two I have already had on the watch list. So I guess I need to watch them.

Anyone else want to post their shows and get suggestions?

If you like dramedies, I think the show, "You're The Worst" is now on of my top 5 shows of all time. It's available on FXX and Hulu.

just going to categorize comedy/non comedy

Non comedy:

top tier favorites of all time
the wire, GoT, sopranos

potential to make its way to top tier
westworld, house of cards (loved season 1 but still need to marathon the rest- don't watch a ton of netflix), the deuce

great shows that just aren't quite the elite of the elite
breaking bad, the leftovers, OG law and order (i know), american horror story (some seasons fall short but others are great and deserves credit for a mostly unique concept)

Comedy:

top tier favorte of all time
flight of the concords, always sunny, archer, trailer park boys, beavis and butthead

great but just outside my personal elite
atlanta, silicon valley, curb your enthusiasm (went back and forth on curb), delocated, upright citizens brigade, eastbound and down, desus and mero

generally hate sitcoms anod most reality tv, most (not all) network shows seem watered down and just bad

You found The Night Of "funny but not hilarious"? Are you sure you are thinking of the right show?

Oooops. I was referring to Bojack Horseman.


Night Of = not funny.
Night Of is another one of those 8-10 episode miniseries. In the True Detectice mode. Lots of concurrent plotlines and suspense. Some strong by acting performances. A few suspect plot twists. All in all very engaging and well executed.

Yeah sorry. Tried like 3 times. Get bored every time and not into any character. My friends convinced me to give up once I couldn't use anyone's actual name just my own nicknames like Blondy, boy, girl, or Harriet the Spy.

So comedies with laughtracks.

You are willing to miss out on one of the most revered comedies of all time because you demand formulaic jokes.

You should watch just so you can enjoy Gay of Thones, which is actually fantastic and uses nicknames like Blonde Cher, Dog the Bounty Hunter, and Baby Barack Obama.

No I listed several shows in there without laugh tracks, and forgot to include Arrested Development which I like a lot. But shows like Archer and Atlanta and Girls etc those aren't funny to me. I don't get why people call them comedies
