TV Series

Honestly, you'd have to watch it to get a sense of what I'm talking about.

I understand people like 'easy' comedy and 'Father Ted' is a WONDERFUL example of such an offering... and then you get 'Ted Lasso' and the differences are utterly stark!!

I cannot reduce it down any more than that!

"Father Ted" an easy comedy? Things like "As Time Goes By" and "My Family" are easy comedies.

I probably phrased it badly!

What I meant was 'Father Ted' took complicated subjects, if they visited them, and boiled it down to the stupidity of the situation rather than make TV for the stupid.

It's a huge difference in making a show.
 
Just discovered Cobra Kai on Netflix. The brilliant premise is catching up 35 years after the Karate Kid with Danny Larruso and his 80s nemesis Johnny. Now Danny's rich and successful, Johnny's a loser. There are plenty of clips from the original film interspersed with how these characters come into conflict again. Is it cheesy? More than a multipack of Wotsits, Ringos and Cheetos combined. There are 2 series so far of 10 episodes each. Running time is about 20 - 30 minutes. Its undemanding comedy drama but great fun. I watched the 1st series yesterday in one go, even the missus enjoyed it. A certain sensei makes an appearance at the end of the last episode. A 3rd series will be released next year so hopefully the series will reach a wider audience.
