Feeling down because of the lockdown, or simply in need of a laugh? Here are five series to boost your mood instantly!
1. Friends
An oldie, but a goodie! Friends (1994 – 2004) is considered one of the best sitcoms of all time, with its great humour and witty one-liners. The series follows the life of a group of friends in their twenties, living in the the “Big Apple” and trying to figure out what they want in life. Watch the group going through hilarious debacles, money problems and disastrous relationships. Binge ten seasons worth of laughter on Netflix.
2. The Good Place
Eleanor Shellstrop is definitely no saint. So, imagine the surprise when after a deadly accident, she wakes up in Heaven, the so called “Good Place”! Eleanor knows something doesn’t add up, she is definitely not supposed to be there… Follow Eleanor’s adventures in this hilarious sitcom and get ready for some shocking twists! In The Good Place (2016 – 2020) nothing is as it seems! You can watch it on Netflix.
3. Modern Family
The classic TV sitcom family has mother, father and two children. Well we’re not in the 1950s any more! Modern Family (2009 – 2020) introduces a modern TV sitcom (extended) family. The Pritchett/Dunphy clan is everything but ordinary. Head of the family, Jay Pritchett, is married to the hilarious and way younger Gloria with son Manny from a previous relationship. Then add Jay’s two other children, from his previous marriage, and their respective families, the fun is guaranteed! Follow this family of outcasts on Netflix!
4. Brooklyn Nine-nine
Being a police officer is serious: there are murders, robberies, risks all around — and lots of paperwork. Well, not so much in Brooklyn Nine-nine (2013 – present). Detective Jake Peralta is childish, determined to have fun and hilarious in every situation. And his co-workers are equally wacky. From the weird and nosy Gina Lenetti, to the scary and sarcastic Captain Holt, every investigation is always turned into a competition or a game! Tune in on Netflix to enjoy seven seasons of shenanigans and laughs!
5. New Girl
Not so much an odd couple as on odd quadruple. In New Girl (2011 – 2018) Jess moves in with three men – Nick, Schmidt and Winston – complete strangers. All are weird and hilarious, and you can’t help caring about them more and more as the series goes on. Their adventures are all about friendship and “feel good” moments. Watch this and become the new flatmate in what is surely the best apartment in the world! Make your start on Netflix.
