It’s my wife’s favorite show, I’ve seen every episode, I know people love it but I just don’t think it’s very funny. 

It’s not funny. It is sorta good in some way that I can’t put my finger on yet.

It is very funny. It is just a different humor.  I like What We Do in the Shadows more, but I laugh at this one too.

FYI, it just won best series.  Complete sweep on comedy awards.

I didnt like Schitts Creek at first but the netflix thread made me give it another shot. I really enjoy that show. Good for them

It's amazing. Definitely creeping into my top 5 of all time. Took a little while to get me going in Season 1 but it's perfect.

It must suck for you that the The Big Bang Theory ended its run.

Ha. Never seen a single episode. I’m more of a Curb, Seinfeld, Arrested Development kind of guy.

Wow...and you can't get into Schitt's Creek?

The reason network is losing to the streaming services is due to commercials IMO. Commercials suck.

I remember when "cable TV" didn't have commercials.  I bet streaming slowly starts adding them.  Cocksuckers

hulu has them if you don’t have the good version. not sure about the others. 

Not sure on Hulu's business model there. For movies, there's usually one ad at the beginning that is 45 to 90 seconds, and that's it. 

On their shows, there are just as many ads as regular TV. More than Peacock which doesn't make sense because Peacock is free, and Hulu has a subscription fee. I guess Hulu trades more ads for more/higher quality content.

our version of hulu we see zero ads.  but hulu originals (starting with mindy project) have clear commercial breaks, and i know the lower tiers have "on-demand" style ad usage.  less than broadcast network, but more than zero.

my understanding is that peacock is similar, in that the lower tier is "free" but has commercials.  the premium versions have more content, and i can only assume, no ads.

The mid tier Peacock, I believe it's $4.99 a month, has more content, but plenty of ads. You have to upgrade to the $9.99 Peacock subscription for no ads. 

I bet NBC/Peacock is counting on The Office binge watchers to drive up their premium subscription numbers.

It has heart.  The characters are flawed but kind.  You like them and want to be friends with them.  

The heart of it makes me enjoy the show even more.  I've noticed it's something I really am attracted to in sitcoms.  For me it's similar to Parks and Rec in that regard.
