Recently I binge watched Abbot Elementary, and I couldn't get enough of it, watched the British version of ghosts and it was quite good too.

I have tried "what we do in the shadows" and it wasn't to my liking.

What are your suggestions about a light comedy series of the same genre ?

"Derry Girls" and "Pen15" are both hilarious and perfectly capture the awkwardness of being a teenage girl. I actually had to ask my husband to leave the room during Pen15, because it felt like he was watching footage of my most embarrassing moments.

Edit to add: if you have HBO, we've also really been enjoying "The Righteous Gemstones". It's about a family that runs a megachurch. "White Lotus", which is about rich people on vacation, isn't really what I would call a lightheaded comedy... but it's definitely funny! Especially the first season.

Derry Girls is 10/10. I'm surprised this is the first I've seen of it in this thread
