"Portlandia"

Comedy | 3.7 out of 5 on MyShows | 8 seasons | 2011 — 2018

Humorous sketches from a fictional Portland where the '90s dream lives on, feminism is in vogue, and beekeepers become rock stars. Each episode features a new sketch: a coffee shop with an ethical coffee policy, a couple taking the show too literally, or the mayor putting together a baseball league. The show was created by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein — they also play most of the roles, often mocking modern absurdities with mild irony.

"Awesome awesome show!!! Love Forever! 💫" — EgorsMather

"High Maintenance"

Comedy, drama | 3.87 out of 5 on MyShows | 4 seasons | 2016 — 2020

Each episode is a different story from the lives of Brooklyn residents united by one character, The Guy who delivers weed. The clients have their own anxieties, quirks, and stressful everyday lives: some are going through a breakup, some are trying to live an eco-friendly life, and some are losing their grip on reality. The plot doesn't revolve around The Guy: he's just an invisible thread connecting disparate lives and themes, from loneliness to self-discovery.

"Great show. Who did not understand about what ... yes just about people ... "sketches", "episodes" from the lives of different people, ordinary ordinary people (including gays, and yes, they also fuck, come to think of it ... maybe in some places too frankly filmed, but quite in the style of HBO, if you are very surprised by the scenes of sex and genitalia - then HBO is clearly not your choice))) - watch ABC and other refined.)
All characters are connected to each other only by a common dealer), who brings herbs to everyone, well, and soulfully communicates with everyone in the process..." — kiffir

"I don't like the drug/weed theme at all, but the series suddenly hit me. Probably because it's all the catalyst, and the series itself is about something else - about people and human relationships", — the_player

"The series has an unreal attention to small details: you should have sent the Asian guy from episode 4 to pick up the cans in episode 6. Very cool series", — pavpasha

"Curb Your Enthusiasm"

Comedy | 4.09 out of 5 on MyShows | 12 seasons | 2000 — 2024

Larry David, co-creator of "Seinfeld", plays a version of himself — perpetually cranky, bumbling, and awkwardly honest. In each episode, he finds himself in comical everyday situations, most often due to his inability to ignore the absurdity in people and rules. The show is based on improvisation and has no clear story arc — just the bright humor of everyday life in which you recognize yourself.

"An adult show for an adult audience, and that's with no adult content. Great humor. L. David is not only a screenwriter but also a fine actor. For connoisseurs of stand up, I recommend it!" — spleen46

"Started watching from the most recent season 9, seemed good, decided to watch from the beginning - turns out the show hasn't changed at all over time, what season 1 and season 9, same Larry's comedy boomerang schemes: Larry hurts/abuses someone, then during the course of the series gets screwed for it, same characters, but I like it)", — NektoOslik

"Very strange to watch, like it was just filmed with a hidden camera before it became mainstream", — Lava_recommends

"Seinfeld"

Comedy | 4.24 out of 5 on MyShows | 9 seasons | 1989 — 2004

Standup comic Jerry Seinfeld and his friends live in New York City and discuss... literally everything. From how to skip a date to how to arrange buttons on a shirt. This is a "about nothing" series, where it's not the events that matter, but the characters' reactions, full of neuroses, selfishness, and charm. Each series is a separate sketch, reflecting a world where everyone makes a big deal out of a fly.

"Already after watching the first episode, you can see what a big influence "Seinfeld" had on "How I Met Your Mother", so beloved by me. I can't say that the pilot was 100% addictive, but it definitely left a pleasant impression. I think I'll keep watching it", — Neutral

"Eh '89. No modern technology, and Seinfeld's standup jokes are just as modern. Also the killer in the bowtie from Difficult Child as a neighbor is straight up fire", — Cr0w991

"So used to the guys over 9 seasons, I think it's okay to revisit in a couple years. It's a pity that none of my friends and acquaintances watched it and there's no one to discuss it with. The ending is unexpected, I thought they wouldn't let them write the script after all. It's a comedy and you have to understand the frivolity of what is happening. Therefore, I do not want to judge the finale of the series", — nikitiki

"No Activity"

Comedy, crime | 3.71 out of 5 on MyShows | 3 seasons | 2015 — 2018

Detectives sit in ambush, criminals wait for a signal, dispatchers chatter on the radio. Really — nothing is happening. But in the dialogue, awkward pauses, and minutiae unfolds a quiet humor and satire on the routine in which it's easy to get bogged down. The series is built on long scenes and conversational miniatures without action, but with accurate observations.

"An offbeat comedy consisting of funny conversations between a few unlikely participants in a major police operation in Sydney. A couple of police officers conducting surveillance somewhere off the beat, a couple of bored dispatchers and a couple of inconsiderate criminals.
Unusual plot device - secondary actors in the foreground, and instead of vivid and exciting police or criminal action, almost absolute inaction. A very slowly developing central story and the fast-jumping personal stories of the partners. Their endless monotonous routine is slightly enlivened only by their endless dialog, silly, ridiculous, often obscene, then primitive, then unexpectedly intricate, believably empty and eclectic at that. Funny. staged and filmed very simply and succinctly, mounted quite tightly. They play without dramatization, rather on the contrary, it is noticeable that they are fooling around. The main thing, of course, is the lyrics. A lot of idle chatter, strange, worthless, often on the edge or even beyond the bounds of decency. These chatter wonderfully reveals the characters, entertaining, funny and touching in their realism", — 7kozlov

"PEN15"

Comedy | 3.69 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2019 — 2021

Maya and Anna are best friends who are 13 years old in the script, but are actually played by adult actresses. Set against the backdrop of real-life teenagers, the characters relive horrible high school parties, first love, humiliations, and shaved legs. It's a painfully nostalgic and absurdly funny return to the teenage hell of the early 2000s — with all its ridiculousness and universe-scale drama.

"I found some of the jokes funny to the point of snot, I had to pause and chuckle at some of them - and that's just the first episode. And it's a cool idea to leave Mr. George as an adult, I think it's fresh and interesting when not everyone around you is a 30-year-old pretending to be a teenager, but just two. And the friendship is shown very, very cool", — yare_yare

"the first few minutes I didn't understand the joke, but then I watched it like a whirlwind. cool, cool show, but as the comments show, not everyone got it", — marina_fey

"Several times already stumbled on this series, and saw such a picture, (no matter where) 90% of the comments: "and why do adults play children?!". And here it is the same, well great. Immediately read that this is a feature of the series, and it does not interfere at all with the perception.
Yes, it is a highlight. And it does make it look more comical. And also the fact that the problems are not teenage like in typical American shows, but childish. It brings back memories of when you were 12-13 and how much the first day at a new school was important. I understand the low ratings are due to the fact that most can't understand that the adults gg it's on purpose? Pretty sad picture...Gee, they even showed pics of their high school days. Unusual, lampooning, original and with a peculiar humor)", — lictoria

"Bookie"

Comedy | 3.72 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 seasons | 2023 — 2025

When the legalization of betting in California gets too close, old-fashioned bookie Danny begins to panic. With his partner, he wheels around Los Angeles, running up debts, running into new ones, and desperately clinging to a dying business. The show with black humor and Chuck Lorre's signature pitch is about amoral but charming losers on the brink of financial and moral collapse.

"Very funny actually) the duo of Ray and Danny really like it, the situations are funny, the jokes too. Cried from the finger moment) A must watch)", — Harley13Quinn

"Comedy and humor that is almost never filmed nowadays. Very entertaining. The translation is on par. The sound tracks are on point too", — Sakharidze

"Not bad. Really not bad. Normal humor, interesting situations and characters. Exaggeration is in theme. And it looks easy. Unusual that for the format of 20-minute episodes Laurie made 8 episodes in a season. But... Maybe the series will be better for it. I wonder who else Laurie will bring in from his past projects? :))" — deadtobefree
