Derry Girls is the first one that comes to mind. It gets heavy once or twice but is generally pretty cozy.
Every scene with the grandfather is gold! (played by the same guy who played Bariston Selmy in Game of Thrones!)
I get annoyed by that guy, I guess the joke is he is needlessly cruel to the son-in-law but it gets old. Don't let that put you off the show though, that is 1% of an otherwise excellent show.
Derry Girls is excellent. It's part sitcom, part Irish culture, part history lesson. Great characters.
Sister Micheal is a treasure
She is hilarious and probably my favorite character. She and the priest from Derry Girls are on another show playing very different characters.
Use this site. Just tore the show name and only your country. It will tell you where you can steam it.
These things move around. I saw it on Netflix but that was a couple of years ago. I’d start there anyway.
Have you ever considered Father Ted?
Oh, go on
I liked "Moone boy" With Chris O'Dowd
I second Moone Boy!
Padraic is the most precious sweetbabyangel.
Black Books.
As much as I loved Black Books, I somehow think of it as British instead of Irish? It has a slight hint of West-Brit to it 🤣
Bernard is Irish...
And it's written by Graham Linehan that wrote Father Ted, but I still think it doesn't feel Irish to me. Like, would you say that The IT Crowd was Irish? All three are Graham Linehan/Channel 4 creations.
Father ted
When I read your post and thought "Do we have any other good Irish sitcoms outside of Father Ted and Derry Girls?", I done some research and found this Irish Independent article listing their top 12 Irish sitcoms, and I'm now laughing away at how the article itself basically shite-talks the first 6 or so shows that they chose! 🤣
As a footnote, I really need to watch "Moone Boy" some year.
Excellent find, Lemming
My Hero isn't actually Irish, but it does star Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Dougal) for almost its entire run, so it may scratch the itch.
similar with 'the it crowd' - co-stars an irish actor and is written by graham linehan
quite a funny show, in which you'll learn nothing more about IT other then turning a computer off and then on again to solve 99.9% of problems
If you're looking for cozy I've heard decent things about Ballykissangel?
The mammy. It grates after a while, but it is funny. Most of the cast are all from the same family, often playing parts that don’t match their real life relationship.
