Modern Family (Hotstar)

This show is suitable for all ages as they showcase the family problems, relationships, and how they overcome those problems. It has everything you can expect from a family-centered show to make you laugh, cry and fall in love.

Corporate (Voot Select)

Corporate is about the situations a few employees face in a heartless, multinational corporate hellhole Hampton DeVille. Though hilarious in a dark way, the show has a message for everyone regarding capitalism and inequality. It's scary and frustrating but incredibly honest. The situations that the lead characters Jake and Matt fall into while working for this ruthless corporate are shown in a hilarious way rather than a dark and serious way. It is instantly one of the most comedic experiments on TV and we love it. The more we watch it, the more we root for Matt and Jake as they go through the evil corporate, all together.

Galti Se Mis-Tech (ALTBalaji)

This short web series, created by Ekta Kapoor stars Anita Hassanandani as Dhara Sehgal and Rithvik Dhanjani as Shivam Chaturvedi.

Their cute and fun relationship will make you fall in love with this couple. The plotlines are simple with no heavy-duty stuff. Watch the series to get a good laugh. Anita is very good as the nagging but loving wife. The best part about the comic series is that being episodic in nature, ALTBalaji can have a long-running show, without bothering too much about stretching plot lines.
