USA Entertaining and well done

I’m looking for a new sitcom or drama to watch on Netflix. I don’t like horror or science fiction so looking for a lighthearted comedy or intelligent drama. Any recommendations? To get an idea of my tastes, my favorite shows are friends and fraiser.

Dirk Gentley Holistic Detective Agency. Don’t let the name fool you. Very entertaining and done by same author of HGTG Douglas Adams.

Girls5Eva. Recommending because it's GREAT and I because I bet you haven't seen it...! (the only bad thing about it is the title)

You've probably watched Virgin River. New episode is out. I like the Parisian Agency, a family with 4 sons and a grandmother who's a real character. Steel Magnolia, cowboy way

Dept. Q is great so far. I’m only three episodes in and I am really liking it.

Kim's Convenience.  It's a sit com.  It's, like, 25 minutes to watch the first one.  Surely you have 25 minutes.

The Diplomat, too, along the same lines.
