    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I was one of them until recently when my girlfriend made me watch it. So this is a timely reference for me.

    If I had HBO, I probably would. But I don't (nor do I have a desire for it), so I'll have to do without.

    My wife decided last night that Hulu, Netflix, and Disney + wasn't enough so she bought HuluTV, and some other service. I will continue to rewatch Parks and Recreation and Arrested Development in the background while I work.

    In the past year, I've gone through the Office, Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, Community, and Arrested Development during work, along with Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (you need Amazon Prime TV if you don't have it already!) and some Syfy series called Eureka, and now I've got to figure out something new to go through.

    Any suggestions?

    A couple of weeks ago my suggestion would've been going outside once in a while...
    My kids love Paw Patrol!

    Seinfeld is really funny, kind of watch the same shows on repeat.

    The Expanse. Umbrella Academy. Chernobyl. Those are some shows I've really enjoyed over the past year.

    Are any of those light and humorous? I'm not interested in anything I have to pay particularly close attention to while I'm working.

    If you want light and humorous find some replays of the Blazers playing defense this year. :)

    Oooh, Curb is a great call. That's on Prime? Perfect.

    Their opponents thought of it as light and humorous.

    Silicon Valley (another HBO show) if it's on Amazon Prime. It's by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead/Office Space) and is a comedy about the tech world.

    One of my absolute favorite shows that I think you would like if you didn't watch it originally is Chuck (also currently streaming on Amazon Prime). It's about a computer nerd who works at a place similar to the Geek Squad of Best Buy and gets this program accidentally "downloaded" into his brain that gives him knowledge of super secret spy type stuff. It's technically an action/drama but has a lot of comedy and you'd probably be fine just half paying attention.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Umbrella Academy is, I'd say. Chernobyl...not so much, heh. The Expanse is basically a sci-fi series like Battlestar Galactica or Firefly. I'd say it's neither dark and dreary nor light and humorous.
