Re: NetFlix "Watch Now / Watch Instantly" - Recommendations Thread
i just finished New Girl and i'm sad. i loved rewatching S1 & 2. can anyone recommend some irreverent comedy akin to New Girl currently streaming?
i have Parks & Rec, 30 Rock and Scrubs set to go, but want something fresh and new and while i love em i have seen them so many times.
giving Portlandia a try. even though i fell asleep i wasn't hating it. i thought it was good actually.
any others?

Check out Trailer Park Boys. I don't remember how I stumbled across this a couple of months ago. I had never heard of it. It was a big hit, apparently, on Canadian TV back in the first half of the 2000s. I'm about halfway through the run, and I'm loving it.
Of course, if you're looking for irreverent comedy, you're not going to do much better than It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Somebody described it as "Seinfeld on crack," which is pretty accurate.
