I saw a few of these. I was surprised at how many of the first episodes were virtually identical script-wise. For whatever reason, I liked the US version better.
John Ritter had charisma. It's fun to watch him.
He was amazing in Sling Blade.
 
Professor T - PBS Masterpiece starring Ben Miller (Doc Martin, Death in Paradise, Bridgerton).

Professor Jasper Tempest, a genius criminologist at Cambridge University, who has OCD and an overbearing mother, assists the police in solving crimes. Miller has stated in an interview that Jasper is also autistic....(from Wikipedia)

Das Boot, the series.
Currently working my way through season 2. Seasons 3 and 4 are in the queue.

Excellent.

Not a series, but the Netflix Tom Brady Roast.

Seems truly awful. I am not a big fan of the genre in general, although true masters like Norm MacDonald could pull it off. But Kevin Hart seems unfunny to me nearly always, and this show seems more mean than anything.
