Just started Deli Boys. Very funny.

Agree! It’s refreshing

I've not heard of that, what kind of humour is it?

Very dark

I actually don't agree with @socsa@piefed.social. It deals with relatively dark subject matter (drugs and murder—no sexual violence or anything like that), but I find it does it in a rather flippant way, and feels like quite an easy watch in the way Parks & Rec or Brooklyn Nine Nine were easy watches.

The basic premise is two Pakistani-American brothers' father dies, and they discover he was a big-time mob boss dealing in drugs. One of the brothers is a bit of a drop kick, spending his days getting high. The other is very uptight and straight-laced, and wanted to follow in his father's footsteps...or what he thought were his footsteps running a large deli empire. The two of them end up selected as co-"CEOs" of the drug business because they get chosen as a compromise between the two actual mobsters who were competing to be next leader. In the middle of all this, an FBI agent is trying to pin them with their connections to illegal drugs. But the FBI agent's boss is a Gilderoy Lockhart type (if you're familiar with Harry Potter) full of himself but actually totally incompetent.

It's quite silly and absurd situational comedy, IMO.

Sounds like it's a bit of lots of things thanks 😊
