Which show would you love to see replace Fleabag when we're done with season 2?

For this next pick, I'm looking for a show with a similar vibe. A fun, humorous, comfort show that will distract me from all the darker, more serious shows that I usually watch. On my list I currently have:

The Leftovers
Derry Girls
The White Lotus
Shrinking
The good place
Schitt's Creek
Killing Eve

And this is not an official poll, I just want to hear your thoughts😃

Which show would you love to see replace Fleabag when we're done with season 2?

Comments

Killing Eve!!! ❤️ It has a fleabag- esque vibe with very serious vs. humor. I think you would LOVE breaking down the episodes. The main actresses in the show are absolutely AMAZING! 🤩 (Just joined based on your Fleabag reactions on YouTube! 😁)

Beware The Jabberwock

Can't go wrong with Derry Girls, or Schitts Creek. I'll throw another favorite into the mix, the TV series Fargo. If I were you, I would do a reaction to the movie Fargo - 1996, before you decide whether to do the TV series. The series has the same feel, but with new situations, setting and characters. Thank you again for your content!

ugh i keep not reading your whole post haha. the leftovers does have moments of levity, but yeah if you want to be a "fun, humorous comfort show" it'll be schitt's creek. that's the only one. it makes me cry from happiness. the good place IS a funny show, no doubt about that, but it deals with death and the afterlife and what it means to be a good person, so it's not quite as light as you're looking.

aura aurify

The Leftovers. nothing else comes close.

aura aurify

killing eve!!!

j

I'm sure you decided but I'd say easy fun shows are Derry Girls, Schitt's Creek and maybe Good Place - all amazing. From there I see less straight up comedy

Ben Lewis

Firefly!

Claudette

Derry girls!!! Killing eve!!

Akaash Sidhu

Oops...thought I replied to this! Sorry! From this list I like Derry Girls. I think someone might have mentioned Firefly followed by the movie Serenity. I second that idea. 😃

ArcAngel

Killing eve !!

R4y

White Lotus is incredible, however it is NOT lighthearted. It talks about very serious issues and has an ominous atmosphere. The Good Place is incredible and hilarious and has awesome characters!

Morgane Walton

White Lotus!

Gabriela Popescu

Oh, I have to say, even if you don't pick The Leftovers which I would understand because you are already watching some super psychologically challenging shows...the soundtrack for the series is absolutely aMAZING ;)

sabrina venable

That's a good idea. But I think watching those episodes will take time away from my regular release schedule

Franklin

If you looking for lighter and more humour filled shows, I vote for The Good Place, Schitt's Creek, and one I just discovered that has me in stitches, called Resident Alien. For more darker choices, yes to The Leftovers, but also have you seen the one season show, HBO's Watchmen? For a blend of humor and darkness, I also recommend FX's Fargo, most especially Season 2 which can be watched entirely separately from the other seasons as it is set in the past. 100% peak, no fillers!

CatsEyeWatching

The Leftovers !!!!!

Victoire-Scarlett Conte

Yesss Good Omens omg pls….

Lauren

I love Derry Girls! But it is the only one I've watched in the selection lol

Ayo Bee

Treme

Adam Moody

Hi! I'm a newbie over here on Patreon but I frequent you over on the youtubes...I vote for The Leftovers, please. It's a great quality show, thought provoking for sure, despite not finishing the series. Life was life-ing at the time. Thanks!

sabrina venable

Idea: Maybe you should test a few different shows, maybe post 2 or 3 eps and see which one strikes a chord with you and also gets views. There’s no obligation to commit to any one in particular.

Andre

Not as a follow up for Fleabag but have you seen Mindhunter? It has two fantastic seasons. It‘s really dark but it‘s amazing. Maybe someday you could give it a try. 🤗

Schniien

I love Fleabag...I like Ted Lasso too. Inofar as the shows, unlike the movies, I am watcing along for the first time as well and so far have been delighted... so, whatever we get, I trust the system at this point.

mark

Schitt's Creek 🙏

Christopher Luttrell

Derry Girls

faith

aww I'm really happy to hear that!! Although what wouldn't I give to see your reaction to that Coco reveal, haha :D

P for Poetry

The good place !!!! Such a funny and heartwarming show

Skyler Ralf

- The Leftovers - Killing Eve If you like instrospect and thoughtful emotional characters and story. Killing Eve leaves more room for humor and I love the protagonists. Based exclusively in my selfish opinion, I would like to hear about your interpretation and vision on The Leftovers, since by the series debut there were no such channel as yours. sorry about the long text jejejeje.

Sergio Luiz

Oh! And if you're looking for "feel good" then the movie Won't You Be My Neighbor might do the trick!!

Jessi

Schitts Creek for sure

Fab

Lucifer is a great 6 season show with lots of heart! It’s funny, well written and the characters grab you right away. Another great pilot episode like IWTV where you just want to keep watching. The show explores themes of relationships, family, and human interaction. It has a HUGE fan base, that actually saved it from cancellation on Fox after season 3. Netflix picked it up and ran for 3 more seasons. Still one of my favorites along with Ted Lasso and IWTV. Stars Tom Ellis, Lauren German and Kevin Alejandro and based an a DC Comics character created by Neil Gaiman. Highly recommend!!

Laurie Harris

Love both Derry Girls and Schitt’s Creek!

Maia

Schitts Creek or Shrinking.

Mary E Crum

definitely shrinking! it’s got that same fun comforting feeling that fleabag has. even when shrinking tackles heavy themes, it’s still light-hearted while never diminishing the story being told. my favorite aspects of the show are: found family, healing, unconventional friendships, and the imperfectly perfect unity between all of them. without saying too much, i love how it challenges the notions of a typical therapist with jason segel’s character. and the debates that he and harrison ford’s character get into are such an important part of the show that i love. honestly, even though ted lasso is a favorite, shrinking supersedes it by a tiny margin for me. all the characters are so human, flawed, but ultimately lovable, and they find ways to surprise you. i’ve found so much of myself in every single one of them. the episodes are short too, so it never drags on, and it always leaves you wanting more in the best way. one of the best feel-good shows out there right now in my opinion!

caroline

Schitts Creek PLEASE Frank. I’ll do anything. I’ll BE anything.

Zaria Middleton

Schitts Creek, or Shrinking (second season just starting)

Etta Eskridge

Derry Girls

Sy

Derry Girl!! Absolutely! (but I'll be seated regardless of what you decide!)

Mariam Ortiz

Derry Girls for sure!

Em

I haven't watched any of the series that you listed, but I would absolutely *love* to see you do Heartstopper! It is so sweet, light, and queer, a real antidote to all things cynical. Some people have mentioned Good Omens, and I would second that too.

Amanda Winstead

I’ve never seen any, so I’m just gonna go with my heart and say the leftovers!

Laura Thate

Schitt’s Creek is a good, funny comfort show that also has heart warming moments and sometimes some more serious moments but never anything too heavy. It’s also got a lot of character development throughout the series. It’s a good show to watch to take a break from more serious ones on the schedule.

Tammy S

What We Do In The Shadows is hilarious, and would continue the vampire theme

Leticia

I haven’t seen The Leftovers or Shrinking so I can’t comment on them, but I think The Good Place is both hilarious and meaty for a sitcom and would be a great choice. My joint top pick would be Derry Girls as it is hilarious. Since it only has 19 episode isn’t as long term a commitment as The Good Place, but I am not sure if that is a positive or a negative for you! And I do also love both Schitt’s Creek and Killing Eve and would totally watch them both if you did.

Leticia

Oh yeah! Good Omens! That's a great idea.

ArcAngel

I echo votes for Schitt's Creek, Derry Girls, & The Good Place

Gaux

Mine too! Used to be my favorite show of all time. I also went to a college full of misfits and oddballs, it was great! 😅

Lola Lirola

I think you really will! I can't think of a better fit between show and reactor, really.

Lola Lirola

The Good Place is an excellent follow up to both Fleabag and Ted Lasso. The Leftovers is one of my favourite shows of all time, it's incredible but it's heaaaaavy. I'd save that for another day!

Darrell Pringle

ok if you want something light, then i say schitt's creek. it's very warmhearted. the good place and derry girls are both funny and fun to watch, but , well, actually, all three of these shows made me sob haha. but the last two kind of gave me more of an existential crisis

aura aurify

Our Flag Means Death and Good Omens are fun, Schitts Creek and The Good Place are also great.

X Jae

I think it's got a great mix of humour and seriousness. Very Irish though so maybe other nationalities don't see it the same

Kim D

GREAT show, but...not exactly light hahahha

Rhiannon

For light and fun, out of these options, my votes are Derry Girls, Schitt's Creek, and The Good Place. In my opinion, White Lotus, while is wonderful and fun, and well worth the watch - I found to be slightly on the heavier side.

Rhiannon

Second!

Rhiannon

derry girls and what we do in the shadows are hilarious

isa ‹3

from your commentary in the IWTV videos, i think you would find the leftovers, the good place, and derry girls, in particular, very compelling

aura aurify

no one is saying the leftovers?! you ALL need to watch the leftovers. one of my all time favorites.

aura aurify

Bad Sisters 😄

Kim D

Sounds like something I'd really love

Franklin

Derry Girls

Anais Winter

It’s Derry Girls or White Lotus for me!!

Francisca Bastos

Throwing in another endorsement for The Good Place! The serialized storytelling is amazingly written and tackles deep philosophical issues with humor and a lot of heart. It's long been my go-to comfort rewatch.

Eric Lee

Hi. The Good Place is perfect blend of light fun and fascinating ideas.

Nikki G.

“Schitt’s Creek” or my suggestion “The Other Two” have similar sense of humour, I think you’ll enjoy both!

RTD

Never heard of it. Let me look it up. Thanks

Franklin

Derry Girls!!!

Ana Mercedes Gatchalian

Schitt's Creek! Such a funny show but emotional too. Derry girls is good too, but you will NEED subtitles until you get used to the speech patterns (I did, anyway lol). The Good Place would be my third choice.

Indi500

Thanks. Yeah I quickly learned that the lead overs is not a light show at all lol

Franklin

My wife and I love watching Abbott Elementary. Way too funny. I saw Coco when it came out. Loved it. Gracias🙏🏾

Franklin

Shrinking is really underrated & written partly by Brett Goldstein (Roy on Ted Lasso)

laluneodyssee

The good place . You need some happiness since most of the shows you watch are pretty heavy

Esperance Adzem

Derry Girls definitely!! It's really really funny. Others are good options too. I didn't know where to suggest this so I'm putting it here. Abbott Elementary is reallyyyy good, but don't know how well it would perform on youtube :(. I'd alsoo lovee to watch you react to Coco. Thanks for all the joy you bring!! 🌻🍊

P for Poetry

Killing Eve!!!! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Aiereana Starfilmz

Derry Girls is incredibly funny and smart. The Good place is both brilliant, funny and deep. I think both could be a good change of pace if you are looking for something lighter. Definitely not the Leftovers (brilliant show, but not lighter)

Coca Inn

That said: Derry Girls lol

Jessi

I think you'd enjoy Steven Universe if you're ever looking for an animated show (short eps with a main character who reminds me very much of Ted Lasso lol)

Jessi

My comfort shows are Community s1-s4 (top-tier humor and characters I cherish like family) and Heartstopper (queer love story with a completely queer cast. I actually feel the LOVE the show manifests, warms my heart 🥰). Among the shows you listed above I especially loved The White Lotus. Both seasons are a blast.

Andre

Derry Girls!!! Funny, emotional and educational

Sólveig

Derry Girls! Given everything happening in the world right now it would be so nice to just be able to watch something that’s joyful 💚

alee

cruel summer s1 !! a whole ass journey of television

K B

Schitt’s Creek or Derry Girls!! They’re so funny but they are also super emotional😭

Courtney

I've watched most of those shows on the list and I think the ones for you could be either Derry Girls or Shrinking, altho Derry Girls isote comedy than anything else, is great tho. Shrinking is kinda like Ted Lasso in the way that it pulls your heart strings on pretty much every episode, which is awesome too ofc so it's all about what you wanna watch.

Dan C

I second this motion!

James Hannon

Derry Girls and The Good Place are both amazing. I enjoyed Schitt's Creek but not quite as much as my wife did, lol. The Leftover's is a fantastic show but also the opposite of lighthearted. The others I haven't yet seen but I've heard good things!

Shane

would love to see derry girls - i may be biased since im irish but it is absolutely hilarious!!

Olivia

That's understandable. Idk if you seen my last post but would you be interested in Queen Latifa line up? it's the perfect ttime to start with the movie last holiday.

Toni Hill

Schitt's Creek

Kitty89

One more suggestion! Community is my comfort show of all time. It’s incredibly funny.

Valaree

💐

Franklin

The Leftovers is remarkable!

Susan B

I would love to see you review Shrinking. Your so insightful and compassionate I just know you would help reach someone while dissecting this show. Either show I will watch.

Adrienne With the coils

Noted. Thanks

Franklin

The White Lotus is perfect for you! Smart, funny, aware.

Susan B

Penny Dreadful is on my list

Franklin

Oh yes that’s what I meant sorry haha - not for this category but just a future series to add to the list :)

Lisa

lost is really long so maybe not. But it will be on another TV show tier for sure.

Franklin

If you’re up for an animated show, Bojack Horseman is great. Has a similarly raunchy vibe but it’s also introspective with complex characters. I wouldn’t call it lighthearted though. The Good Place is more feel-good almost on par with Ted Lasso.

Valaree

omg please do killing eve!! not the same vibe as fleabag obviously but the humor is very similar since it was written by phoebe waller bridge, you’d love it! also bc sandra oh and jodie comer are Amazing in it

Sawyer

The Good Place is definitely one of those shows that left a nice impact on me while still being comedic and fun. I vouch for it 🫡

Roronoa Denpaii

I've heard how great Gray's Anatomy is but probably not, unfortunately. 18+ seasons is a long commitment

Franklin

White Lotus (I am the annoying one who keeps bringing up anything from the Flanagan universe, especially Hill House)

Bethany that's me

The Leftovers please. It would be so perfect for you. And there aren't a lot of reactions to it 🙏🙏

Ninaofthe90s

I think this has more "Fleabag" vibes than any other choice on your list. SC and TGP are more Ted Lasso vibes.

Melissa

The Good Place is amazing!!! And has the bonus of being shortened seasons with an amazing story arc - with a great ending. Soooo Good!!!

Michelle Rodeghier

So . . . Move "The Leftovers" to your "darker, more serious" show list. I absolutely LOVE it, but it's heavy -- though well worth it.

Melissa

Schitt's Creek

Héloise KODIA

I mean... I'm campaigning hard for The Good Place!

Lola Lirola

The Leftovers is def not lighthearted vibes! Hold onto that for a deeper emotional ride. I love "Schitt's Creek," "The Good Place," and I think "The White Lotus" would be interesting!

Melissa

Killing Eve but I won't stop putting PENNY DREADFUL in here 😂💌

Victoria

I have always wanted to check out Derry Girls but never got around to it. So if you did, that would be very neat for me 😊

Maria

Poker Face (Rian Johnson crime comedy show) is pretty good!

William Russell

White Lotus

mark

I’d choose The Good Place from this list. Would love to see you react to Lost at some point. I think you’d really enjoy the themes. And Lost inspired a lot of shows that came after - including the Good Place and The Leftovers.

Lisa

Killing Eve!!! I’m telling you that you’ll love that show and the dynamic between the two leads 😃

Gabbi

killing eve please PLEASE

etherealjock

The good place is so good

N

Would you be into long hall TV shows? Grey's Anatomy?

Toni Hill

Good Place!!

Noct

Schitts Creek for sure

Nategreat923

Schitt's Creek would be a delight!
