Hi David,
I think I mentioned a series called Witness. The series revolves around a soldier who is on a secret mission to find his missing comrades. The stunts are really spectacular, it has a surprising storyline and it's also humorous.
If you like funny stories (and I know you do) I can recommend Matt West's new sitcom. He plays the lead role in Amaze me. He stars as a late night TV host who comments on the latest news. His performance is hilarious and you should really watch it.
I hope you like both shows. Let me know what think you of them.
Best wishes,
Ari
