I recommend watching How to get to Heaven from Belfast if you’re missing some quirkiness in a well written series with humor that has some serious subjects (although not a haunt in sight or to be mentioned - shucks!) but has mystery that keeps you guessing.

Someone here recommended Deadloch but this is more of a quirky detective whodunnit focused more on the detectives and the small town feel. It’s a bit too slapstick for me - yeah it’s funny but in a more raunchy way. Wasn’t expecting a lesbian detective show. That’s what I liked about Widow’s Bay - Katie didn’t have to stoop to having sex and sexual scenes or drama tropes - it is fine just as it is and safe for all ages (as I watch with my daughter and her BF there isn’t a cringe sex scene to be found).
HTGTHFB has minor scenes like that or subject but not too much. And I enjoyed the laughter that ensued. The ensemble characters especially the 3 main women are pretty funny as they are all unique in their own way and remind me of the core ensemble in this series.

Heck even the black cop in a mostly white town is there.

Let me know if you like it but I am struggling with Deadloch (I gave up on boring and dark - literally too dark - Silo and so saw recos on here for Deadloch)

It’s impossible to believe that so soon after watching him lead the ceremonials for Shane MacGowan, we have to eulogize this pillar of Irish music and culture. A deep loss.
