One of my favorite genres, always looking for more. Bonus points if it’s currently on streaming.
I’ve watched the absolute hell out of That Mitchell and Webb Look, Kids in the Hall, Whitest Kids U Know, and obviously SNL and MadTV but both of those had a lot of ups and downs.
I saw the one season each that Astronomy Club and The Moth Effect had and they were both pretty good. I’ve seen some A Bit of Fry and Laurie, but can’t find a good place to stream it. TripTank was basically a sketch show with cartoons, and I liked that a lot too.
I think you should leave, on Netflix.
I need to give this one another look. I watched a few episodes a while back, and it wasn’t bad, but it was weird. It felt kind of like watching interdimensional cable from Rick & Morty.
It’s definitely not for everyone. My wife and I have a lot of overlap in our comedy preferences and are both big fans of SNL and everything Mitchell & Webb have done. On the other hand, I Think You Should Leave is my all-time favorite sketch show, but she couldn’t even get through the first season. It’s got a real sense of absurdism and weird social interactions that aren’t for all tastes.
Don’t feel bad if you can’t get into it - there’s tons of great TV out there. No need to waste your life on one show just in case you don’t like it. If you weren’t into the first few episodes you probably won’t like the rest as it’s all the same style.
Definitely give it another shot. It’s my favorite comedy show of all time. I don’t always fully appreciate them on the first watch though.
It’s very much in the same vein as “Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job”, which you should also check out if you haven’t already. Another great sketch show
