Lady Dynamite (2016)

W/ Bob and David (2015)

W/ Bob & David is a comedy sketch show created by and starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, known for their 90s comedy hit Mr Show (1995-1998).The show is basically satire and sarcasm bundled up into absurd storylines, and it’s pretty much impossible not to laugh out loud throughout. 

GLOW (2017)

From the same creative minds that brought us Orange is the New Black comes GLOW, a comedy-drama series which centres around the rise of the 1980s syndicated women’s professional wrestling teams, known as Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (or GLOW). 

With a great comedic cast led by Alison Brie of Community (2009-2015), and a nostalgic, almost parody-like 80s aesthetic, this Netflix show really packs a punch. 

Altered Carbon (2018)

While not being a comedy or animation, Altered Carbon is considered a good stoner shows on Netflix because of the compelling cyberpunk dystopian context which is just irresistible when high.
