Do you know how locked in I have to be to polish off an entire season of a TV show in less than a day — even if the episodes are short? That's exactly what happened with Deli Boys season 2, now streaming on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (international).
Given that the new comedy is such a wild ride from start to finish, my binge isn't too surprising. In season 1, brothers Raj (Saagar Shaikh) and Mir (Asif Ali) Dar found out that their late dad's local convenience store was actually a front for an international drug ring, which the pair have inherited.
In season 2, they're making so much money that local casino owner-turned-money launderer Max Sugar (Fred Armisen) is enlisted to help "clean" the boys' money, though Max falls in love with no-nonsense Aunt Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan) instead.

As you can imagine, this all goes horribly wrong by the end of episode 6, though no spoilers here. Now that things are over quickly after they've begun, what do we watch next?
Thankfully, I've got some fantastic recommendations from people who know a thing or two about how to make us laugh: the Deli Boys season 2 cast themselves.
"This is slightly random, because it's simply one of my favorite shows," France tells me. "I find Deli Boys to be quite a dark comedy, so I think start with that and then move onto the Cunk On... specials to lighten the mood. Diane Morgan is an absolute genius."
He's not wrong. The comic actress plays fictional investigative reporter Philomena Cunk, who is best known for asking genuine industry experts absurd questions with a deadpan expression. Highlights include "Was Jesus the first victim of cancel culture?" and "Which was more culturally relevant: The Renaissance or Single Ladies by Beyoncé?"
Created by Black Mirror's Charlie Brooker, specials include Cunk on Earth, Cunk on Life, and Cunk on Britain, most of which you can stream for free on You Tube. We've got Cunk on Cinema currently in production, which feels like peak television for me personally.
"I feel like it has to be Broad City," Singh says. "It's another two-hander with messy characters, and I feel like that's a good viewing experience."
It's another fantastic choice. Airing from 2014 to 2019, the series follows two women throughout their daily lives in New York City. That should be as dull as dishwater, but they both manage to make the smallest and most mundane events hysterical and disturbing to watch.

Rivals season 2 episode 4 just hinted at a future lesbian romance on Hulu and Disney+ series
Broad City propelled Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson (both playing fictional versions of themselves) to global success and has been widely regarded as a "genius" comedy series that speaks to the lived experiences of millennial women. In fact, it's that good, you could probably binge the entire thing five times over and not get bored.
"I'm trying to give myself a plug at some point..." Rannells jokes. "So maybe Deli Boys and Girls?"
This one is a no-brainer, and not just given the obvious connection. Rannells played Elijah Krantz in the HBO Max series, who is described as "an exuberant gay man who is always in search of a good time."
That's hilariously true, and he easily steals the spotlight in Deli Boys as unhinged politician Andrew Chadwater. But Girls is also the reference point for a generation when it comes to living in the Big Apple.
There's another reason Girls makes a great double bill too: the release of Lena Dunham's new memoir Famesick. Read it as an audiobook on Spotify, and you've essentially got a triple bill.
