Greendale Community College is the setting for Community, a comedy about an accidental study group led by Jeff Winger (played by Joel McHale), who together with six other outcasts form a surrogate family.
Winger’s brand of sarcasm and cynicism makes the perfect backdrop for the other six characters, who range from Annie (portrayed by Alison Brie), who got addicted to pills in high school and was rejected from every university she applied to, Troy (played by Danny Glover) a vacant jock who immediately clicks with pop-culture obsessed Abed (Danny Pudi), Britta (Gillian Jacobs) a snarky, woman who hates anything cool as she finds it pretentious, Shirley (Yvette Brown) a single mom of two who’s just finding her feet after a divorce, and Pierce (Chevy Chase), an elderly man whose singular talent is making offensive jokes about everything.

At first, the group is distrustful of each other but as the season continues, the group of seven discovers how similar they are and work together as they navigate the world of academia.
This is not a laugh- a-minute show, in fact, it initially comes off as snarky, but as it progresses you realise there is a tender undercurrent to it as the group members bond and realise they truly are a community.
It will lift your spirits during this dark period as we all attempt to get through the next 12 days.
The show is available to stream or download on Netflix.
