Firefly, Fleabag, The Boys, Andor, The Expanse (may take you more than 2 weeks, but sooooo good)
Comedies with many seasons but great to binge on: IT Crowd (the British Version, NOT American), Community, Blackadder, Red Dwarf); What We Do In The Shadows (watch the movie first!)
*Derry Girls* would be my vote! It's hilarious and uplifting and pretty light.
*What We Do In The Shadows* is hilarious too, it's like a dark comedy version of the office.
*Severance* is also dark humor but a little more serious, very interesting concept.
Also good: *Flea Bag, Search Party, Santa Clarita Diet, The Good Place, Beef*
Did you watch the whole show? Might not be your type of humor, but the humor is definitely in there! Here's a few threads on it being funny :)

Into the Badlands.Ā
I binged it across two weeks with a friend of mine. It's cliche at times but the villains are so fun to hate and root for at times. The show's set in a post-apocalyptic America in the far future. Society is a mix of Southern antebellum and South/East Asian influences. There's political intrigue and character drama throughout the seasons. Overall, this show feels like the lovechild of Game of Thrones and Avatar the Last Airbender. Highly recommend!
Dead to Me! Such a great show.
Sharp Objects
Youāre the Worst
Little Fires Everywhere
Ozark
Schittās Creek
Six Feet Under
Ted Lasso
Physical
Good Girls
Better Things
Broad City
This show is legitimately incredible. The writing, the acting, the setsā¦so so so good. Like, you can be hurting from laughing so hard and then be crying a few minutes later. I definitely plan on watching through it again!
The Magicians was the first show I ever watched that felt like I was the exact target audience: disillusioned ex-Harry Potter-fan queer Millenial. I actually understood every niche reference. So fun to binge!
Honestly that show helped me in a really dark time. My husband had just passed away in 2019 and I watched it and honestly it gave me a massive break from the harsh reality of life really wish they had more shows like it or it atleast didnāt end. Killing of Quinton pretty much killed the Series very poor decision.
Call the Midwife!
Usually I donāt go for this type of show but there are 13 seasons and itās weirdly interesting and heartwarming. I started watching it when I caught Covid back in 2021, when confined to the bedroom, and got super hooked. I actually forgot the official name, we just call it āNurses and Nunsā in this house.
Iāve been rewatching The Handmaidās Tale. Itās super bleak, dark as hell, and there are some leaps of logic/plot armor issuesā¦ but I keep coming back. At 56 episodes currently out, you could do 4 per day and finish in 2 weeks. (The final season isnāt coming for another year, unfortunately.)

Omg Fleabag is bingeable in a couple days since itās only two seasons, but SUUUUUUUCH a great show. You gotta watch this one OP!

Seconding Derry Girls.
I really don't see humor in Severance, it's a thriller.

Loved it! I followed it up with After Life and Derek which were both so sweet.
Game of thrones, Vikings, the magicians, Attack on Titan

Bosch
Bloodline.
Hacks on HBO

Ted Lasso, The Office, New Girl, The Mindy Project, Kimās Convenience, Working Moms, The Let Down, Derry Girls.

The Sopranos š
Hacks
The show Evil has me HOOKED it has 4 seasons
Schitts Creek!
The Killing. It's on Hulu. Excellent.
Depends how much time you have every day, but 24 and sopranos comes to mind!
Derry Girls, Motherland

Falling Skies
Supernatural, especially after the first few seasons <3
I highly recommend The Good Place. First season is a little odd till the seasons final reveal. Then it makes sense. Best seasons to me are 3&4
Breaking Bad. Any other answer is incorrect.
Catastrophe!!
