Yeah, yeah another one of those threads but I'm not looking for something that'll blow my tiny brain as I can't be arsed for that.

I'm looking for a show with 40 minute episodes with multiple seasons that I can just switch my brain off to and not think about how the lighting reflects the mood of the protagonist and what those future implications are and blah blah blah...

Somewhere In The Ether…

Ash vs Evil Dead.

Only three seasons but what seasons they are!

Thirty min episodes brimming with gore, laughs and the one and only Bruce Campbell

Honestly... I can't think of any...

Rarely are those kinds of shows all that good these days.

Its either all or nothing.

I'll always recommend Sons of Anarchy (minus the Irish episodes). I'll have a think and get back to you

I do like your sense of humour so might give that a go!

The mandalorian is good if you like Star Wars.

Season 3 has just started . So that’s 17 episodes for you right there.

I suppose I was looking for something like a Bake Off or Taskmaster type show to be honest. Good laughs, light-hearted. Comfort TV

Just watched Aftershock on Netflix that I can recommend. It's a 3 part (40 mins each) documentary about the earthquake that hit Nepal and the effects of people in 3 areas including those who were on an expedition climbing Everest. Lots of bodycam footage and which is horrific and scary at times.

Did you watch Outsiders on Dave? Definite Taskmaster feel. Celebrity pairs complete outdoor tasks set by David Mitchell.

All of QI is available on the BBC.

If you have Apple TV, Bad Sisters and Ted Lasso are both well worth a watch. Both very funny and wacky.
