Love

So the first TV show I would like to recommend to you is Love, which is a Netflix show and one of the co-creaters is Judd Apatow. Now if you don't know Mr. Apatow's work, he is the man who wrote and directed such comedy treats as, Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and This Is 40.This Is 40 has become one of my favourite films in the past decade. The funny-honesty that pervades, This Is 40 also pervades throughout the short and sweet 3 seasons of Love.
The key players are Gus (Paul Rust) and Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and this is their love story. It's set in contemporary L.A. Gus is a major geek. In his spare time he hangs out with his friends and they compose movie theme songs for movies that don't have theme songs. It's geeky funny stuff. Mickey on the other hand is a jaded unhappy girl with an alcohol and drug problem. An unlikely pair as there could be.
The show is sweet, funny, and it's often uncomfortably honest; in a good way. The episodes are short, running around the 30 minute mark. So if you are looking something short and light, check out this series that you may never have heard about. Catch it on Netflix.
