A mockumentary comedy horror and a spin-off from the highly popular What We Do In The Shadows series, Wellington Paranormal is not to be missed by fans of Taika Waititi's original comedy hit. This series combines a traffic cop documentary with the supernatural comedy elements of WWDITS, making the perfect formula for another hilarious hit comedy.
Corporate (Paramount+)
Within the setting of a multinational corporation, the series focuses on the lives of two downtrodden employees who work there. This American sitcom may not have much of a recognizable cast to its name, but the relatable humor and outride absurdity make it an hysterical series to add to your watch list nevertheless.

A rare reality hoax sitcom, the concept of Jury Duty was to prank an average guy into believing he was serving on a real jury. However, with everything scripted and planting everyone else as actors (including Holywood A-lister James Marsden!), the series makes for an entertaining ride as everyone is in on the joke except for poor Ronald Gladden from San Diego.
Future Man (Apple TV)

What happens when an uninspiring janitor becomes the future of humanity's last hope? Future Man seemingly answers that question by using every Sci-Fi reference it can possibly think of in the process. Starring Josh Hutcherson as the lead, who unashamedly proves he will do anything for comedy in the series.
Peep Show (fubo)
One of British sitcoms longest running series, Peep Show boasts a unique style of its own. Following two Londoners, one shy and awkward, the other a childish slacker, it explores their awkward life with its witty parody of modern culture while not taking itself too seriously.
