Most sitcoms would have you believe that life is a bright and shiny adventure full of wacky wholesomeness. However, anyone who has ever shopped at Tesco or ridden a subway knows that's not the case. So, why not check out a sitcom that doesn't shy away from the nitty gritty realities of life? Enter, this underrated series!

Lovesick is a British sitcom that originally aired on Channel 4 under the much funnier name Scrotal Recall before Netflix picked it up for its second and third seasons. It follows Dylan, a young man forced to reconnect with all his previous lovers after being diagnosed with chlamydia. He shares this "adventure" with his two roommates, Evie and Luke.

You can tell right off the bat that this isn't one to watch with your folks, as the risque subject matter is sure to make anyone blush. But it provides a refreshingly twisted take on the sitcom genre, exploring the hilariously awkward side of sex and relationships.

The series also has a unique format, as the majority of each episode gets told through flashback. It's like Lost if Jack spent every episode remembering the worst parts of his love life. What's not to love about that?
