Binge watching The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

Any time you an start a TV show by driving a steam locomotive into a giant painted rock like wile E. coyote in a road runner cartoon and have a 13 member gang kill R Lee Ermey on that same train... you're in for a ride.

Currently watching Totally Completely Fine - Dark Aussie comedy about a woman trying to prevent suicides after she inherits a house at a jumping hotspot.

I've really got a thing for Australian comedy. All highly recommended:

Summer Heights High
Please Like Me
Rosehaven
Utopia
Wilfred
Frayed
Jonah from Tonga
Fisk
Upright
Colin from Accounts (S2 just come out, so will watch next)

if you haven't seen mr inbetween def check it out.
not quite a comedy but def has comedic elements. it's Australian and it's fantastic.

was on FX and was based on a movie the main character wrote and starred in.

really great.

Mr. Inbetween definitely has some funny moments but it's really a disturbing tragedy of a man who cannot help but be violent. Great show.

Wise Guy is a pretty great doco for any Sopranos fan out there. I was a bit skeptical after the first 10 minutes or so, but it gets a lot better from there.

Going to start it tonight. Does it include the cast get together they did at the premier?

There are interviews with some of the cast members, but there is no get together that I can recall. If there was, it would've only been a clip here and there.

I almost never say this about docs, but my biggest complaint was that it wasn't longer. I felt like there was still quite a bit left that didn't get covered/go deep enough.

Just finished Kevin can F*** Himself on Netflix. I guess it originally aired on AMC. It's only 2 seasons (16 episodes) and it is very different and unique. Quite the experiment in a typical one hour (45 minute) drama/comedy series.

It is part laugh track comedy about an over the top loudmouth buffoon (Kevin) and his buddies and part very dark drama about the way he effects those around him. It took a couple of episodes to get a real feel for it. It centers around his wife (the girl who played the spoiled daughter in Schitt's Creek) and she is very good. She has been screwed over by Kevin and wants out of the marriage but she is no saint either.

I enjoyed it more as it went on and as I got used to the format which is different from anything else I have ever seen. At first I hated the laugh track part but enjoyed that aspect more as I got into it and the dark drama part got darker and darker.

I am sure some people will absolutely hate this but I liked quirkyness of the unique format once I got into it. And the ending is something that is gonna stick with me for a while.

I watched the first episode of Kevin, but I'm not sure if I can continue. I did like the back and forth between sitcom and reality, if that is reality.

I think they are both "reality" in different forms and as the story gets darker so do both formats. And I fully understand not continuing. I almost quit a couple times until I got a feel for it.
