And if you're asking about shows, here's another list of 10 - Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Schitt's Creek, Bojack Horseman, End of the F**king World, This Is Us, Superman & Lois, Dickinson, Hacks, Killing Eve, and Heartstopper.

They also thoroughly enjoy stand-up comedy and will quite often rewatch the specials by Taylor Tomlinson, Hannah Gadsby, Tig Notaro, Daniel Sloss, Ali Wong, Fortune Feimster, Yvonne Orji, Abhishek Upmanyu, Zakir Khan, and Vir Das.
