Suits is another one I’ve watched every episode of. The latest season was pretty poor though.

Good shout, I love the the Beiderbecke Trilogy. To be honest anything written by Alan Plater is worth watching. Plater's prequel to Beiderbecke (Get Lost) is also fantastic.

Unforgotten

I don’t have much of a life.

My idea of hell.

My idea of hell.

I couldn’t imagine being able to sit through an episode of Miranda, without vomiting blood.

Agreed, one of the least funniest women "comedians" ever. Sue Perkins another. In fact, i don't find any women funny.

What joyless lives you must lead if over half the population can't make you laugh.

There are many funny female comedians.

Nina Conte
Katherine Ryan
Shappi Khorsandi
Dianne Morgan
Phoebe Waller-Bridge (which ties into me seeing every episode of Fleabag).

To name but a few.....and there any many **** male ones. I'm not sure gender is any definition of how funny someone is.

 

[Ricky Otto]

I felt the same about women comedians up until recently (I must say Katherine Ryan cracks me up though and Sara Pascoe's stand up tickled me a few times). In fact my stand up comedy bigotry is really bad! I don't generally like US stand ups, any not English stand ups really, actually even northerners don't generally float my boat. I think comedy is a very personal thing and I think it has to be relatable. I've not met a single bloke who's watched Miranda and doesn't think it's terrible, I've met a fair few women that love it though. Guess it's all about how you relate, being a guy I think it is beyond awful.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Miranda is all prat-falls and slapstick. A female Mr. Bean.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Just thought one one, Sandi Toksvig i quite like, very intelligent and enjoyable on Q.I, still prefer Fry but Sandi does a good job.

Rob Beckett and Russell Howard by far the worst male 'comedians' going.

@Ricky Otto is right it's a very personal thing comedy. I used to love Bo Selecta when it was around and the same guy now does Celebrity Juice which I cannot stand. People bang on about how funny Brooklyn 99 is but it's just not for me. I love all of Gervais comedy shows, The Office, Extras, Derek and After Life but others can't stand it.

If everyone loved all the same things it would be a really really boring place to live.

Gervais is the law of diminishing returns. The Office is genius, then every series after got steadily worse. Derek was absolutely unwatchable dross IMHO. After Life was a partial return to form, but not the masterwork that people have claimed it to be.

See that's where I have to disagree with you, Derek for me was his best. But only just better than The Office.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Nah I'm with MK here, thought Derek was unbearable at times trying to pull on heartstrings. Office was absolute genius, and everything else has been really good IMO but Derek was well below par for me. It had its moments but don't get the hype.

One of my Gervais TV highlights was the Life's too short special where Barry from eastenders, Les Dennis and Keith Chegwin do a pub tour performing managed by Warwick Davies. So many funny moments in that.

Thanks to the Guardian, I remember I've seen every episode of the peerless Parks & Recreation and I have decided that I will be watching them all again.

Dammit Jerry!
