Just finished watching the series. Brilliant. Gorey at times but really enjoyed it. Wife did too.Jessica Jones on Netflix.
Simply brilliant.
Taken the torch from Simpsons circa seasons 3-10 iHomo:I need a comedy.
If we're talkin Netflix, Brooklyn 99 Season 2 just dropped. Don't let the fact it's an Andy Samberg series put you off, I don't particularly like him in other things, but this is excellent. If you do like him, well, his fans like it too. F is for Family is pretty good too, Bill Burr's series, be aware animated, so if not into that beware.
The Thick of It, Arrested Development and Archer (animated) are all older, so you might have seen them, but if you haven't, give them a go.
Still Game is hilarious, but that might just be the weegee talking. Very very West of Scotland.

Rick and Morty is hilarious but intense. More or less cross Doctor Who and Doc Brown, add on alcoholism and narcissism to the main character, throw in the family dynamic, especially the failing marriage.
Bit like BoJack Horseman in that regard. Yes, technically adult animated comedies, but has a number of non-comedic elements which make them not to everybody's taste.
Love 'em both, get why others wouldn't. Try them both though. For R&M, if you don't like the first episode, you probably won't like the rest of it, whereas for BJHM, you need to get to ep 5 or 6 to make a definitive statement. First 3 or 4 eps are fairly generic animated comedy, with a very basic plot, asshole main character, wacky event of the week stuff. Turns into something much better after that. Finish the Episode with the Ds, and if you don't like it, youd definitely don't like it.
DP certainly picked a weird clip to show if that's the only exposure though. I mean, it's not dissimilar to the rest of the comedy, but it's probably as weird as it gets in terms of sex jokes. I'd have maybe picked a clip from the one where Summer gets a job.
Rick is 100% the self insert. It's sad, he produces such wonderful content, but if you delve into his personal life even a little bit, it becomes apparent that somewhere between a reasonable proportion and a hefty chunk of it comes from his personal pain and his relationships with family and friends.A while ago we had a brief exchange about Bojack. I struggled with the first 5 or so eps but decided to give it a go and watch the rest of the 1st season. You were right it did pick up and I generally quite liked the 2nd season.
I've only seen a little of Rick&Morty but have read the buzz around it. It's one I'm interested to see as it has Dan Harmon involved and he's well known for characters that tend to mirror aspects of his personality. I'm thinking Rick in this case.

It's a great animated comedy because it does generally balance the pure comedic aspects, the dramatic and emotional aspects, and the general wackiness of animated sci-fi.
Right now I'm watching Luther. It's one of many UK shows I missed due to timing of other things, most notably final year exams. Idris Elba is simply brilliant as the titular character, DCI Luther, while it also stars Paul McGann, who I love, primarily for his work on the Doctor Who audio plays. BBC cop shows at its finest.

A few episodes into Brooklyn 99 season 1. Just what I needed. Stupidly funny. Thanks!
