We’re all stuck at home due to the quarantine, and just like everyone else, I resorted to binge-watching Netflix shows as a means of entertainment or coping mechanism.
Sometimes you’ll find yourself gravitated towards movies or TV shows that you don’t usually stay up for. But here we are doing things we don’t often see ourselves doing, and for me that’s watching comedy sitcoms.
Here are my top 6 comedy sitcoms that made me laugh my quarantine blues away. I hope you’ll chuckle and see a ray of light even if we’re all in a dark season of our lives.
- Jane the Virgin

Ah, yes, an oldie but a goodie. Jane the Virgin is an award-winning American telenovela comedy. Remember when Filipinos are obsessed with Mexican telenovelas? Well, think of Jane the Virgin as the funnier version of those dramatic telenovelas.
It follows Jane Villanueva, a young woman that gets artificially inseminated. There’s a lot of twists and turns on every episode that you’ll no doubt find yourself binge-watching this series ASAP!
Also, Gina Rodriguez was terrific in her role as Jane, and the cast is funny and charming.
