+//note some of these contain violence, David has indicated this in his notes
+  * Ozark (Netflix. Season 3 coming Friday.Jason Bateman, minor violence, but threat of it is at heart)
+  * Sex Education (British, in Netflix, sweet, funny, not violent). 14+
+  * Better Call Saul (threatening, but not a ton of actual violence especially compared to Breaking Bad, currently finishing last season on AMC, older episodes in Netflix,)
+  * Happy Valley (BBC on Amazon now, great female creators, lead actor, some violence for sure and suspense)
+  * Fleabag (not violent but mature themes. I wouldn't want to watch fleabag with teenagers in the same room because embarrassing).
+  * Barry (HBO, Bill Hader, mostly dark comedy, some violence)
+  * Veep! (HBO original, s1+2 now free on Anazon very funny, not violent)
+  * Game of Thrones (if you can handle the very first episode you can take just about everything that follows, but def not for the squeemish)
+  * Breaking Bad (definitely has violence)
+  * The Fall (BBC on Amazon Prime with Gillian Anderson, serial killer, maybe my favorite police procedural ever)
+  * Luther (PBS/BBC, Idris Elba, ok this might be favorite police procedural)
+  * Prime Suspect (BBC/PBS, Helen Miren, uh...maybe this is...see above)
+  * Rome (HBO original, ancient period drama, some violence in keeping with period)
+  * Spranos (lots violent obv)
+  * Weeds (Showtime original, now on Netflix)
+  * The Wire (definitely has violence, but might be best written show ever)

+  * Fleabag
+  * Sex Education
+  * Corner Gas (on Amazon Prime - old show, flat voiced sarcasm, sweet, family show)
+  * Big Bang Theory
+  * Jane the Virgin (I liked for about 2 seasons, then it got too "soap opera" like for me)
+  * Grace and Frankie
+  * Derry Girls (teens in the Troubles - and it's about the teen experience, not so much the Troubles)
+  * Vicar of Dibley [Be sure to watch the very end where the vicar tells a joke to Alice who has trouble understanding it]
+  * Coupling (only the British version.  The American version is not funny)
+  * Kominsky Method
+  * Hitch (not a series, a fun rom com [romantic commedy?] movie)
+  * The IT Crowd (sitcom in the basement of an IT office, old show)
+  * Kim's Convenience (sitcom in a Korean corner store in Canada)
+  * New Girl
+  * Atypical (wonderful show about the family which includes a young man with Aspergers - he is growing up and his family needs to cope)
+  * AJ and the Queen (a drag queen friends a troubled tweener by chance and adventures - personally, I like this, but I can see how there are problems with the concept)
+  * Madam Walker
